One of the most visible faces and voices in the Omaha office of the Corps of Engineers is leaving.
Jody Farhat, Chief of the Missouri River Basin Water Management Office is retiring, after thirty four years……
Farhat says there have been a number of extremes during her time in the office…..
The Corps and Farhat came under intense criticism during the floods of 2011, when high water on the Missouri River swamped cities and towns from North Dakota through Missouri. She tried to be as open as possible about river operations……
Farhat says she isn’t going to another job, and plans to stay in the Omaha are for the time being.
