Iowa panel backs dam at Saylorville Des Moines river flood plan
The Iowa Natural Resources Council approved the proposed 40 million dollar Saylorville dam on the Des Moines River as flood control and conservation, paving way for Congressional action. It endorsed Army Engineers recommendations to build north of Des Moines with a backup Howell Red Rock dam about 60 miles south. The council noted the project requires federal authorization and funds, will reduce flood damage, provides conservation storage, warns against overestimating recreational benefits, and may affect land rights and roads in Boone Dallas Polk counties.
