Work has begun on most of the critical sites, but not all.  And now crews at some sites will be working round the clock to get repairs done by November 1^st, which officials consider the start of flood season.
Les Harder, Deputy Director of the Department of Water Resources, says the repairs on the levees involve several steps:
 
A lot of rock is being placed to repair and buttress the sites that have eroded, and they are putting soil over the rock, and doing plantings, and putting woody debris for fish habitat.
 
Work began on the sites in June.  The repairs are expected to cost about 170 million dollars.
