The Army Corps of Engineers’ Little Rock District will host a public workshop Monday, April 17, at the Delta Rivers Nature Center at Regional Park at Pine Bluff. Residents can stop by between 4-7 p.m.
The purpose of the event is to present information on the draft report and accept comments on the Integrated Feasibility Study Report Environmental Assessment for the Three River Feasibility Study.
Corps representatives will be available to answer one-on-one questions from the public about the study.
“The study is being conducted to identify and recommend plans that provide a long-term environmentally sustainable solution to ensure the continued safe use of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System and prevent long-term lost navigation,” according to a news release. “The study area is the confluence of the Arkansas, White and Mississippi Rivers in Arkansas and Desha counties.”
The public’s input may be provided at the workshop or during the comment period until Sunday, April 30. The draft report is available for review at: https://go.usa.gov/xX5uu.
