Bull Shoals advisory lifted

LITLE ROCK — The US Army Corps of Engineers in cooperation with the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has lifted the primary body contact advisory near the Sugarloaf Wastewater Treatment Plant on Bull Shoals Lake.

Samples collected by the Corps and analyzed by the ADH Public Health Laboratory indicate very low E. coli levels well below the swim beach closure level for primary body contact, so swimming is now considered safe in that area.
