HARRISBURG, OHIO RIVER BASIN, ILL. Location. Harrisburg is located in Saline County, Ill., in the basin of the Saline River, which is formed by the junction of south and middle forks, about 5 miles southeast of Harrisburg, Ill., and which flows in a southeasterly direction for 26 miles, and empties into the Ohio River at a point 867.3 miles below Pittsburgh. The city of Harrisburg, Ill., is within the limits of the backwater area of the Ohio River during major floods. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a system of levees and concrete flood walls, consisting of the following features: Section I, 15,116 feet of new earth levee, 3,075 feet of levee enlargement and 625 feet of concrete wall, extending from high ground at the north end of the city across State Route No. 34 to and along the north arm of the municipa! water supply reservoir, then across the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad near the bridge over the middle fork of the Saline and along the left bank of the middle fork to high ground along McHaney Street in Gaskins City, Ill.; section II, 2,730 feet of new earth levee, in seven sections across low divides and low portions of the spoil banks of the Harrisburg "strip" coal mines to the south and southwest of the city; two pumping plants for the disposal of interior drainage; and appurtenant structures. The project will provide protection for Harrisburg, Ill., including that portion known as Gaskins City, and will afford a freeboard of 3 feet above a flood equal to the maximum flood of record, which occurred in 1937. The existing project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved August 28, 1937. The estimated cost of new work, made in 1943, is $798,000 for construction and $20,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements.
