Army Corps of Engineers studies Maumelle River, asks the public for comments

They say erosion and problems with sediment build-up have degraded the natural environment.

MAUMELLE, Ark. — If you live or work along the Maumelle River, the Army Corps of Engineers in Little Rock wants your comments.

Central Arkansas Water and the Army Corps of Engineers are studying the ecosystem at the Maumelle River. They say erosion and problems with sediment build-up have degraded the natural environment.

They blame this on the man-made river crossings and the construction of levees along the Maumelle River.
