ROCK PORT, Mo. -- Justin Brewer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District, economic section chief, left, and Kyle Hauschild, Nemaha Natural Resources District, natural resources manager, plan for an upcoming site visit during the kickoff meeting of a feasibility study to assess flood risk management measures along the Missouri River in Nemaha County, Nebraska, and Atchison County, Missouri, on Jan. 15, 2025. Project members from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Nebraska DNR have partnered with the USACE in a feasibility study expected to provide valuable insights into floodplain management, navigation, and habitat restoration, which are essential for the communities and ecosystems along this reach of the Lower Missouri River. By pooling resources and expertise, the Omaha District and state agencies will work with public stakeholders to explore feasible flood prevention measures. This feasibility study will last approximately three years and will end with a recommended plan.
