The east‑side Atchafalaya levees must later be raised to the 1928 grade once the Morganza Floodway is complete under section 702a–3. Any stretches left as fuse‑plug levees must then be rebuilt and kept up under section 702a–3. Money available under sections 702g–1 and 702k–1 may be used to pay for this work.
