He added that damage from the <br />June 15, 1965 Pawnee flood was estimated at $2,714,000. <br />While preliminary surveys have Indicated that It Is <br />feasible to construct adequate flood control Improvements for <br />the Pawnee, studies to date hWve not Indicated sufficient <br />damage to qualify for flood control under existing criteria <br />for federal projects. <br />"This does not alter the fact that facllltles In the <br />Pawnee watershed have suffered major damage," Wendt added. <br />The Atwood and Sterling communities are particularly vulnerable <br />to Pawnee flOOds. Wendt said that preliminary review Indlcetes <br />that flood control for the Pawnee must result from a combination <br />of upstream dams and channel improvements. <br />In Its research, the conservancy district will reach <br />back to a period aome 60 years ago when the first efforts to <br />develop a .control program for the Pawnee were launched by the <br />Sterling Promotion and Irrigation company, an organization <br />which Included men who were leaders In many of the early <br />Irrigation, agricultural, Industrial and community projects <br /> <br />~i <br /> <br />which developed the Sterling community of today. <br /> <br />Included <br /> <br />were W.C. Harris, G. B. Goddard, George W. McClain, A.G. <br />Buchanan, H. Herbert White, S.E. Naugle, G.C. Brown, H.E. <br />Munson, T.F. Henderson, George A. Henderson, W.S. Jenkins, <br />C.B.
