Missouri River, June 22, 2014
(KLZA)-- Input has been received from the politicians. Even the public has given input. Now, the Army Corps of Engineers is attempting to take all that into account as it begins the long process of drafting a management plan for the Missouri River that will reduce flood risks.
Program Manager Colleen Roberts with the Corps said this study will seek to improve the resiliency of the lower Missouri River.
Roberts characterized the latest study of the lower Missouri as an attempt to create a road map to make the river more resilient.
The Corps has been holding public hearings in order to get feedback from local governments and the public on how best to reduce flood risks.
It will take the next year to draft a plan for managing the 735 miles of river from Sioux City, Iowa to St. Louis.
