    A long excavator arm digs deeply into the Dallas Floodway bottomland, July 24, near the East Levee so it can be filled with the soil-bentonite clay mix designed to cut off underground seepage. The city of Dallas is working to certify that the Trinity River levees can safely pass a severe storm that has a 1:100 chance of happening in any given year. The wall will help the city meet requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Flood Insurance Program. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth District’s role is to monitor this Section 408 project to ensure the federal Dallas Floodway System performs its life safety role as designed.
