250 Attend Hearing
Mud Creek Views Aired
By CHUCK POTTER Kansan Staff Writer
About 250 persons convened at Grant School Thursday night for a public hearing on the flood control plan for Mud Creek. Several persons had expressed their opinions by the time the meeting was adjourned.
Opponents of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 1969 Plan to channel 4.7 miles of Mud Creek, which enters the Kansas River from the Missouri River, Lawrence bridge, turned out to oppose the plan. Among them were the National Audubon Society, the Jaswah Audubon Society, and the North Dakota Wildlife Conservation
The hearing was called jointly by the Corps and the city of Lawrence.
All the opponents of the plan said they favored the concept of flood protection, but were opposed specifically to stream channelization.
Colonel W. R. Needham, district engineer of the Corps, outlined the reasons behind the Corps' tentative decision to proceed with the 1969 Plan.
The 1969 Plan involves 4.7 miles of stream channelization and 4.3 miles of levee on the right bank of mud Creek. Needham said the plan would provide north Lawrence with flood protection equal to 75 per cent of the "Standard Project Flood," which was "the worst flood you could reasonably expect to occur in the area."
Needham presented figures which showed that the 1969 Plan could be implemented at a total cost of $3.16 million, with the City of Lawrence absorbing officials have endorsed this plan, since it involves the least outlay by the City.
Needham also presented five alternative plans, all of which involve construction of a new bridge.
Opposition to the project stemmed mainly from environmental objections.
A written statement distributed by the Jahaywah Audubon Society at the hearing said, "The Society's preferred alternative to channelization is the construction of a levee. This would, according to the Corps, cause flooding flood protection as channelization."
the grounds that stream channelization would be required to maintain once completed.
Ron Klakaste, west central regional representative of the National Audubon Society, called the 1969 Plan a "gutterization scheme" and said the National Audubon Society favored an alternative plan calling for construction of a setback
Supporters of the 1969 Plan were also present, including the North Lawrence Improvement Association, the Kaw Bain School and the Pendleton School in the Douglas County Farm Drainage District.
Several persons opposed the 1969 plan on
Mrs. Louise Gulley, vice president of the
NLIA, said, "I believe I'm representing 2,000 people in north Lawrence, some of whom were in the 1951 flood. We don't want that kind of thing to hone again."
Mayor John Emick, in a prepared statement given to Needham, stated, "We wish to make it clear that we have no quarrel with the broad general goals of the Audubon Society, the Sierra Club, or others interested in ecology and the preservation of native wildlife. We point out that the North Lawrence Flood Protection Program was authorized, funded, and nearly completed before the National Environmental Policy was passed:

Senate Finance Committee Seeks To Remove Overspending Liability
The Finance and Auditing Committee of the Student Senate voted Thursday night to send to the senate a proposed allocations contract which would remove any senate liability for a student group which overspent its allocation.
