Reconnaissance Report for Section 205 Flood Control: East Branch of the South Branch of the Kishwaukee River, De Kalb County, Illinois
Abstract
This report presents the results of an investigation of the flooding problems along the East Branch of the South Branch of the Kishwaukee River within De Kalb County, Illinois. The area specifically addressed is a mobile home park outside the village of Sycamore, Illinois. The purpose of the reconnaissance study is to define the flooding problem, identify potential solutions, and determine whether there is a Federal interest in a flood damage reduction plan, based on preliminary appraisal of costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. The reconnaissance study phase is also the appropriate time to assess the level of interest and support in the potential solution by non-Federal interests. Based on the findings of this reconnaissance report, it is recommended that the Section 205 study of flood damage reduction measures for the Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park in De Kalb County, Illinois, be terminated.
