In February of this year, the Lower Elkhorn NRD Board of Directors selected Houston Engineering Inc. for the development of a Willow Creek Dam Floodplain Management Plan. Developed in accordance with FEMA requirements, this plan will identify potential risk downstream of Willow Creek Dam and potential mitigation strategies to reduce or minimize risk in this area.
Project-related questions or written comments can be submitted to LENRD Assistant General Manager, Curt Becker, at (402) 371-7313 or cbecker@lenrd.org.
