Body

 The USACE is building the model right now and could use the data as soon as possible.  An initial data request went out a while ago.  It is extremely valuable to calibrate the model, particularly since this model is not yet being built with an entire range of hydrologic values, just calibrated to a few large events.  All the more reason for good spatial verification for stages.  Likewise, if there is data that can be provided on the levee and critical elevations for pump operations, those can be provided and will then be in the system.
