Levee Breaches Repaired at L-550 and L-575
Following the Missouri River Basin Flood of 2011, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, classified five breaches along Missouri River levee units L-550 and L-575 as time sensitive, critical repairs. Working with contractors, local sponsors and interested groups like Responsible River Management, the Corps met its deadline of repairing the breaches by March 1, 2012, the symbolic start date of the new runoff season.
