The Lake Dardanelle Shoreline Management Plan is the required USACE approval document (ER 1130-2-406) that protects and manages the shorelines of all Civil Works water resource development projects under Corps jurisdiction. The shoreline management plan is intended to protect this vital resource in a manner which will promote the safe and healthful use of these public lands and waters while maintaining environmental safeguards to ensure a quality resource for generations to come.
SMP Shoreline Allocations
On Lake Dardanelle, shoreline may be allocated into one of these categories:
- Limited Development Areas—Areas where boat docks and other shoreline use activities are permitted.
- Public Recreation Areas—Area adjacent to or within parks which restricts the issuance of shoreline use permits.
- Protected Shoreline Areas—Areas designated to protect aesthetic, environmental, and fish and wildlife values. No boat docks or other shoreline use permits are allowed in these areas.
- Prohibited Access Areas—Areas immediately upstream from the dam where private docks and shoreline uses are prohibited for safety and security reasons.
(These four shoreline allocations are designated by 36 CFR 327.30 and ER 1130-2-406)
