U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 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.
