TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
CHAPTER 15--FLOOD CONTROL
Sec. 702a-5. Back levee north of Eudora Floodway
The back-protection levee north of the Eudora Floodway shall be
constructed to the same grade and section as the levees opposite on the
east side of the Mississippi River: Provided, That this levee extending
from the head of the Eudora Floodway north to the Arkansas River shall
be so located as to afford adequate space for the passage of flood
waters without endangering the levees opposite on the east side of the
river and shall be constructed contemporaneously with the construction
of the Eudora Floodway; except that, until the Eudora Floodway is in
operative condition, there shall be left in this back levee north of the
head of the Eudora Floodway openings which shall be sufficient, in the
discretion of the Chief of Engineers, to permit the passage of all flood
waters to be reasonably contemplated in the event of any break in the
riverside fuse-plug levee prior to the time the Eudora Floodway shall be
in operative condition.
