Freese and Nichols provided the geotechnical field exploration and analysis necessary to assess the mile levee and concrete floodway and its level of compliance with FEMA criteria for levee safety. The levee and floodwall, including its closure structures and internal drainage features, were found to be compliant on all pertinent criteria and could be accredited for inclusion on FEMA mapping of the White River that runs through the City of Batesville. The certification report was submitted to FEMA and accepted without technical comment.
