EPA, Army Corps Square Off Over Mississippi Delta Drainage Plan link

The U.S. EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers are squaring off over an Army Corps proposal to seasonally drain 67,000 acres of wetlands adjacent to the lower Mississippi River. The Army Corps wants to spend $220 million to build a pumping station in the Yazoo River Basin arguing that the project is necessary to protect agricultural lands and approximately 1,000 homes from potential flooding.
