Abstract

The Army Corps of Engineers deemed the levees along the Portneuf River to be “unacceptable,” leaving the city of Pocatello, ID, liable. Experts, policymakers, and stakeholders agree that something must be done before this flood-prone city faces another catastrophe. Yet, after 5 years of debate, the levees are worse. This project explores and compares stakeholder support for three competing levee policy proposals. This project should aid river management professionals to understand the motivations behind stakeholder support for flood control policy. Stakeholder preferences are driven by risk perceptions, personal beliefs, and economic interests.
