Description  
    Abstract
    Geo-dataset delineating the Missouri River levees which were damaged by the
    flood of 1993.
     
    Purpose
    Generally used in geographic and natural resource analyses.
     
Supplemental_Information
    Procedures_Used
    Corps of Engineers survey maps were used to accurately locate the levees
    on USGS 1:24000 Quad maps.  The reasoning for this is that the survey maps
    varied in scale from 1 inch = 800 feet, to 1 inch = 5000 feet.  Therefore
    using the USGS 1:24000 quad maps gives a consistant level of accuracy for all
    levees.  With the linework located and highlighted on the quad maps, the
    features were digitized using an Altek digitizer.

    levee crown.  This is usually the corner where the main
    river levee and the upstream tie-back flank levee meet.
    Elevation is measured in feet above sea level
    (M.S.L. 1929).
     
    UPSTRM_HEIGHT:  Approximate height of the MAJOR_STREAM river levee
    crown at the same location as the UPSTRM_ELEV, measured
    in feet above the landside ground elevation.
     
    DWNSTRM_ELEV:  Elevation of the downstream end of the MAJOR_STREAM river
    levee crown or downstream tie-back flank levee where
    overtopping is first estimated to occur.  Elevation is
    measured in feet above sea level (M.S.L. 1929).
     
    DWNSTM_HEIGHT:  Approximate height of the major stream river levee
    crown in feet above the landside ground elevation, at
    the downstream end of the MAJOR_STREAM river levee
    where the DWNSTRM_ELEV was measured.
     
    LEVEE_MATERL:  Main type of soil used in the levee construction.
     
    FOUND_MATERL:  Main type of soil in the foundation at the base of the
    levee.
     
    PL_84_99:  Whether or not the levee district meets PL-84-99 minimum
    conditions to be eligible for Federal cost sharing support
    in event of levee failure or overtopping.
    YES = Levee is eligible for Federal cost sharing.
    NO = Levee does not mee the minimum requirements to be eligible.
     
    FEMA_CERT:  Whether or not the levee district meets FEMAs minimum
    conditions for certification.  Levee must provide at least
    a 100 year level of protection.
    YES = Levee meets FEMAS minimum conditions.
    NO = Levee does not meet FEMAs minimum conditions.
     
    ACRES:  Area protected by the levee as measured in acres.
     
    CONSTRUCTION:  Whether or not Federal Funds were used to construct the
    levee.
    F = Federal funds were used.
    N = Non-Federal funds were used.
     
    LEVEE_TYPE:  Type of area protected by the levee.
    A = Agricultural.
    AR = Agricultural and Residential
    E = Environmental.
    I = Industrial
    R = Residential
     
    FAILURE_TYPE:  Type of failure in 1993.
    Overtopping = Levee was overtopped before any structural failure
    occurred.
    Breach = Levee failed when water level was below the crown of the
    levee.
     
    FAILURE_DATE:  Date that the initial failure occurred.
