This literature and records search was conducted to determine if known historic and/or prehistoric sites within the flood control project area at the Redwood River between river miles 64.7 and 72.6, exist and to estimate the potential of additional sites. The literature and records searched indicated no recorded prehistoric sites in the project area; however, archaeological survey and testing program should be conducted because of the extremely high site potential along the Redwood River. The only recorded historic building in the project area, the Lyon County Court House in Marshall, will not be affected by the proposed action. (Author).

The purpose of this study was to investigate alternative measures and select a plan for insuring effective operation on the existing flood control project and providing flood protection to new unprotected development. Recurrent flooding of the Redwood River together with damaging overflows into the adjoining Cottonwood River basin has resulted in flood damages and the need for local emergency flood evacuation. The selected plan consists of channel widening, straightening, bank reshaping, levees, an overflow diversion structure with appurtenant control and outlet works, interior drainage works, aesthetic measure, s recreational facilities, and required relocations. The plan also includes revegetation of all disturbed areas. A 133-year degree of flood protection for the City of Marshall and adjacent urbanized areas would be provided. This report consists of a main report and two appendices.
