Channel Work Pays Dividends In Missouri river work declares engineer
SHENANDOAH. Dividends from channel stabilization and navigation work on the Missouri river were described by Col. H. Hoeffer Omaha district engineer at the Missouri basin interagency committee meeting. He said about 70 percent of the project cost is justified by benefits from preventing bank erosion and creating accretion lands, with 35 000 acres to form along the river near Iowa after completion. Funds have been inadequate, limiting work mainly to below Council Bluffs, preserving little of the river’s natural state and risking loss of bottomland. Once upstream reservoirs finish, stabilized channel and levees planned to protect about 277 000 acres of Iowa farm land. Thursday’s session featured soil and water resource talks with tours planned for Nishnabotna river area. Governors and federal reps on the advisory committee were guests at a chamber reception Wednesday night.
