The Omaha Engineer District and the city of Hamburg, Iowa, signed a Section 1176 project agreement February 10 that will allow for raising the Hamburg Ditch 6 levee 8 feet, significantly increasing the benefits the levee provides to the city. The agreement came after the Omaha District, city and other stakeholders worked with Corps Headquarters and the Northwestern Engineer Division to implement the Section 1176 authority from the 2020 Water Resources Development Act. This is the first project across the nation to utilize the Section 1176 authority to raise the height of a federal levee system. |
