Big Sioux River Improvement Plans Under Way
A U S Coast and Geodetic Survey crew begins mapping and surveying to straighten the Big Sioux River from Sioux Falls to the Missouri junction at Sioux City. Towers up to 100 feet will be erected for night surveys, with 25 towers, 28 trucks, and 23 trailers planned. Ferried by Lt. Commander Wennermark, this work accompanies flood control studies authorized in 1924, with channel straightening and levee networks to protect valley lands and Hawarden Iowa. Estimated total cost about 20 million dollars.

Plans for Big Sioux basin development proposal discussed
Sites of adequate capacity do not exist in the Big Sioux basin. The contemplated improvement plan is not fully developed and no overall economic justification yet. Upcoming discussions with state and local interests will gauge reaction and local agency cooperation with the federal government if the project is recommended and authorized.
