Pearl River Flood Risk Management (FRM) Project

"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Vicksburg District will publish a Revised Draft Environmental Impact Statement (RDEIS) for the Pearl River Basin Mississippi Federal Flood Risk Management Project to the Federal Register in late June 2025. The statement evaluates flood risk management alternatives in Rankin and Hinds County, Mississippi.

The release of the RDEIS marks a major milestone in the project’s development and will initiate a 45-day public comment period, which will remain open until mid-August 2025. The original Draft EIS was released to the public on June 7, 2024. In response to significant public input and receiving more than six thousand comments, the Corps is releasing a revised draft to further refine the alternatives."  https://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/Missions/Programs-and-Project-Management/Pearl-River-FRM/​
