Eel River Delta Flood Plan Approved for Congress
The board of engineers for rivers and harbors approved the Eel River delta flood control project costing 13.7 million dollars and recommended it to Lt. Gen. L. K. Wilson for possible inclusion in an omnibus bill. If approved, Wilson would seek congressional authorization, with Clausen urging district projects, including this one, be included. The plan calls for levees, channel improvements, and recreational facilities deemed locally cooperative and economically justified.
