Mission Statement:

• The Levee Repair Working Group’s purpose is to work as a team to track repair funds and the repair all levees to their original level of protection. The group’s mantra is “Fund It, Fix It”.
• The Levee Repair Working Group will work to provide a centralized “clearing house” of timely two way communication and useful information to Federal Agencies, states, levee sponsors and landowners who suffered damage to their levee during the Missouri River flooding. During this time of recovery, it is critical that the states, levee sponsors and landowners have access to all of the facts and information so they can make decisions that are best for the future of their operations.

The initial list of priority items for the Levee Repair Working Group is as follows:

• Coordinate, Collaborate and Communicate information regarding activities in the repair process, identifying status, issues and opportunities to expedite the process;
• Develop and maintain a database to track:
• Identification of all levee breaches/severely scoured areas along Missouri river and tributaries – including those inside and outside PL 84-99
• Status of repairs, including funding and actual construction
• Ensure questions related to the repair process are adequately addressed and answered;
• Ensure that everyone understands the process to repair any levee and the impacts / nuances experienced due to the limited funding available to the Corps of Engineers.
