Army Corps Meets on Flood Solutions

Next week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will hold a private meeting in Juneau to discuss long-term solutions for glacial outburst floods impacting the Mendenhall Valley. Federal agencies, local officials, and researchers will evaluate five options, including building a dam, creating a permanent levee, or digging a tunnel. The meeting will be closed to the public, but press briefings will be held, and a report will be released in January. The Army Corps aims to recommend a solution by May 2026, with another chance for public comments in June 2026. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
