    Mounds of ‘Borrow Material’ lay prepositioned at a worksite in Greene County, Ark., where construction workers, contracted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Memphis District, will use it to construct seepage berms and fill an existing ditch supporting the levee. In the background, a dump truck operator positions more borrow material. Borrow material is dirt that is specially selected because of its composition and trucked into a project area. Engineers use these specialty berms to isolate an area on the protected side of a levee where water finds its to the surface from the unprotected side.
