The deadline to submit comments on the Yazoo Area Pump Project is Monday, November 30th.

Recently, U.S. Senator, Cindy Hyde-Smith, issued a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to register her support for a new Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, which could advance a new and more environmentally friendly version of the Yazoo Backwater Area Pumps flood control plan stopped in 2008.

�I�m very happy to have an opportunity to voice my support for better flood control in the Yazoo Backwater Area.� I know it will help protect Mississippians while benefitting our economy and the environment,� Hyde-Smith said.� �We have one more week to comment and it is important that as many of us as possible provide pro-pumps comments to offset the out-of-state forces fighting the pumps.�

Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson has also provided his comments to the Corps of Engineers.
