§ 8713 Levee Modification Approval

• •If you own a levee in the areas mentioned, you can make it taller, wider, or stronger.
• •Before you start working on the levee, you must show your plans to the board and get their approval.
• •The board will watch over the work while you do it.

A farmer owns a levee next to a river that often floods. He wants to make the levee taller to protect his crops.

The farmer must first draw up his plans for making the levee taller and show them to the board. If the board says okay, they will watch while the farmer does the work to make sure it’s done right.
