BOWLING GREEN, MO. -- As people living on the Mississippi River south of Cape Girardeau face major flooding, people living on the river in Pike County, Missouri can't help but think that this might happen to them sometime down the road.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deliberately breached a levee near Birds Point Missouri to save the town of Cairo, Illinois.

Now the USACE doesn't plan to breach a levee in the near future on the upper Mississippi River, but people who are living in Pike, Lincoln and St. Charles County Missouri are nervous.

Nervous because of Plan H and what it means to those three counties.

Plan H is a flood action plan that covers the Upper Mississippi River north of St. Louis.

Under the proposed plan, levee districts and drainage districts will be able to raise the height of their levee's to the 500 year flood level.

Except in Pike, Lincoln and St. Charles Counties.

Bottom land in those districts would basically end up being an area where floodwater would be diverted.

We're talking to some people Friday who live in Pike County, Missouri and who are adamantly opposed to this plan.  They are nervous about whart might happen to their farm ground if another major flood hits the area.

Bob Kirkpatrick is with a new group that has formed in the area called Neighbors of the Mississippi.

The group is trying to raise awareness of how Plan H would affect the areas of Pike, Lincoln and St. Charles counties.

"That was the thing that bothered me about Plan H. It was asking Pike, Lincoln, and St. Charles County to be a designated flood water storage area. We were going to have to take on an economic loss responsibility for the foreseeable future. So that everyone else could gain. That's an awful lot to ask," said Kirkpatrick.
