The U.S. Corps of Engineers is scheduled to discuss a proposed Mississippi River watershed plan with representatives of five states today.
The Corps estimates a watershed study for the Upper Mississippi River Basin would cost $3 million and take three years.
“We need a watershed study that works across the federal and state agencies to guide policies and actions in a coordinated way,” said Christine Favilla, Three Rivers project coordinator for the Sierra Club.
