DEVILS LAKE (AP) - An Army Corps of Engineers official says the agency plans a public meeting in late October to give an update on any changes planned for the Devils Lake levee system.

Bonnie Greenleaf is the corps' Devils Lake project manager. She says the agency is considering changes in the system's alignment but they would be small in scale and would be handled on a property-by-property basis.

Greenleaf says cost estimates for future levee work range between $100 million and $200 million. She says the cost is affected by new rules being discussed for the design of levees and dams in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Greenleaf says the corps still hopes to choose a plan for any future Devils Lake levee raise by the end of the year.
