Federal courts tell
Corps to halt St.
Johns Project work
The Memphis District received an order
issued Sept. 13, 2007, by the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia, directing us to stop
work on the St. Johns/New Madrid Project – a major flood
control effort for the region. District officials in
turn immediately directed our contractor to cease all
work in order to comply with the Court’s instructions.

Earth work like this has
halted on the St. Johns / New Madrid Project. The
majority of work in progress was related to an earthen
cofferdam being erected before work on a pumping station
and gravity flow structure began.

Every Friday is
"Patriotic Friday"
