SABULA, MISSISSIPPI RIVER, IOWA Location. The work covered by this project is on the Mississippi River at and in the vicinity of the town of Sabula, Iowa, which is 52 miles above Davenport, Iowa, and 535 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-Two dikes, or levees, now protect the town from flood waters by closing the portion of an old bay which lies west of the town. The proposed improvement consists of the protection of the existing levees, which are exposed to wave wash and current wash, by riprapping at critical points. The latest (1940) estimate of cost to the United States is $25,000 for construction. The existing project was selected and adopted by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944, substantially in accordance with House Document Numbered 328, Seventy-seventh Congress, first session. Local cooperation.-Section 3 of the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, applies. See page 5 for requirements. The requirements of local cooperation have not yet been fulfilled. Operations and results during fiscal year.—None. Condition at end of fiscal year. No work has been done. No funds have been allotted to this project.
