Chief Engineer Shafer and crew, after two months along the Big Sioux river, completed surveys for flood prevention and moved to a Kansas project. Findings show 36 miles of potential river realignment, 30 miles of levee needs, 11,700 acres of floodable land, and an estimated $78,090 total cost to implement the drainage scheme.
