| Abstract: | The existing Kansas Citys, Missouri and Kansas, Flood Risk Management Project provides local flood risk management for the metropolitan areas of Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. The Kansas Citys project is authorized as a system of seven levee units. This project extends over the lowest 10 miles of the Kansas River (at its confluence with the Missouri River) and a 20 mile reach of the Missouri River flanking the mouth of the Kansas River. The Kansas Citys project is a unit of the Missouri River basin comprehensive plan authorized and modified by the 1936, 1944, 1946, and 1954 Flood Control Acts. The last major modification to raise some of the levee units comprising the Kansas Citys Project was authorized in 1962. Section 216 of the 1970 Flood Control Act provides the authority to reexamine a completed civil works project and recommend modifications or improvements. An Interim Feasibility Report and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), published in September 2006, recommended performance improvements in four of the units: Argentine, North Kansas City, Fairfax-Jersey Creek, and East Bottoms. These recommendations were subsequently authorized by the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 and have proceeded with design and implementation. The Interim Report concluded that no improvements were needed in the Birmingham Unit. This Final Feasibility Report addresses the remaining two levee units; the Armourdale and Central Industrial District (CID) Units. The EIS published with the Interim Report included analyses for all seven levee units, including the two units addressed in this report. The alternatives identified in this Final Report are the same scope and location as addressed in the existing EIS. A review of the current environmental conditions in the study area confirmed that no significant changes have occurred since 2006. No new NEPA documentation is required. |
