Eric Meyer, project engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, measures an animal burrow discovered while conducting a levee inspection in Wichita, Kansas March 25, 2026.
The team assessed the Wichita-Valley Center Little Arkansas levee system, which includes five segments: Levees F, K, L and M and the West Branch Chisholm Creek West Bank. During inspections, USACE teams look for things such as animal burrows that can create pathways for water during a high-water event, potentially leading to internal erosion that could weaken the levee structure.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Levee Safety Program inspects, assesses and reports on levee system conditions across the region. In the Tulsa District, the team monitors more than 235 miles of levees. The team shares findings with local sponsors, who maintain and repair the levees. Routine inspections of this critical infrastructure that helps protect communities, businesses and essential services help ensure continued public safety by keeping these systems reliable during high-water events.
