Corps Of Engineers Say Levy Repairs Completed
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) _ The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it has
met its deadline on the most critical levee repairs on the Missouri
River from Omaha and Council Bluffs to just below the Missouri
border at Rockport and the levees are ready to handle high water
again.
The corps says five breaches have been closed and several
damaged segments have been repaired from last summer's historic
flooding.
The corps' Bret Budd says work on the last of the five breaches,
near Percival and Hamburg in Iowa, was completed Tuesday.
The work, which has been ongoing since January, was urgent
before the 2012 runoff season begins _ even with the mild winter.
March 1 is the typical start of the runoff season, when the first
significant water from melting snowpack enters the river.
