Book Description
A 1979 feasibility report recommended a plan to reduce damages incurred by flooding along Loves Park Creek (formerly the Large Unnamed Creek). Funds were appropriated in FY 85 to continue planning and engineering to incorporate recent developments in the floodplain and current policies regarding the implementation of flood control projects. This General Reevaluation Report presents the reevaluation of the recommended plan for flood damage reduction at Loves Park and recommends the construction of a channel improvement/partial floodwater diversion plan. The plan would provide a 100-year level of protection, would produce annual net economic benefits of $825,700, and has a benefit-to-cost ratio of 1.4 based upon a 100-year economic life and a discount rate of 8-5/8 percent. The estimated total construction cost is $20,554,000. Environmental impacts of the plan are not significant and are evaluated in the attached Environmental Assessment.

Book Description
Reducing flood damage is a complex task that requires multidisciplinary understanding of the earth sciences and civil engineering. In addressing this task the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employs its expertise in hydrology, hydraulics, and geotechnical and structural engineering. Dams, levees, and other river-training works must be sized to local conditions; geotechnical theories and applications help ensure that structures will safely withstand potential hydraulic and seismic forces; and economic considerations must be balanced to ensure that reductions in flood damages are proportionate with project costs and associated impacts on social, economic, and environmental values. A new National Research Council report, Risk Analysis and Uncertainty in Flood Damage Reduction Studies, reviews the Corps of Engineers' risk-based techniques in its flood damage reduction studies and makes recommendations for improving these techniques. Areas in which the Corps has made good progress are noted, and several steps that could improve the Corps' risk-based techniques in engineering and economics applications for flood damage reduction are identified. The report also includes recommendations for improving the federal levee certification program, for broadening the scope of flood damage reduction planning, and for improving communication of risk-based concepts.
