TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
CHAPTER 15--FLOOD CONTROL
Sec. 702k. Surveys below Cape Girardeau, Missouri; resurvey of
levee in Tennessee
The Secretary of the Army shall cause the Mississippi River
Commission to make an examination and survey of the Mississippi River
below Cape Girardeau, Missouri, (a) at places where levees have prior to
May 15, 1928, been constructed on one side of the river and the lands on
the opposite side have been thereby subjected to greater overflow, and
were, without unreasonably restricting the flood channel, levees can be
constructed to reduce the extent of this overflow, and where the
construction of such levees is economically justified, and report
thereon to the Congress as soon as practicable with such recommendations
as the commission may deem advisable; (b) with a view to determining the
estimated effects, if any, upon lands lying between the river and
adjacent hills by reason of overflow of such lands caused by the
construction of levees at other points along the Mississippi River, and
determining the equities of the owners of such lands and the value of
the same, and the commission shall report thereon to the Congress as
soon as practicable with such recommendation as it may deem advisable:
Provided, That inasmuch as the Mississippi River Commission made a
report on the 26th day of October 1912, recommending a levee to be built
from Tiptonville, Tennessee, to the Obion River in Tennessee, the said
Mississippi River Commission is authorized to make a resurvey of said
proposed levee and a relocation of the same if necessary, and if such
levee is found feasible, and is approved by the board created in section
702a of this title, and by the President the same shall be built out of
appropriations made after May 15, 1928.
