DeHarnais) • US State—North Dakota (Dale Frink) • Summary • What’s next (M. Ryan) • Questions Mitigation – US State

  2. Post 1997 Flood Accomplishments: North Dakota ND State Engineer Dale L. Frink, P.E. Mitigation – US State

  3. Substantial Progress • Project Development • Funding • Coordination Mitigation – US State

  4. Accomplishments: ND Legislation • Water Development Trust Fund - 1999 - 45% of tobacco settlement revenues to water - Bonding for water projects • Resources Trust Fund - Oil Extraction Tax • Floodplain management enhancements- 1999 and 2003 Mitigation – US State

  5. Structural Accomplishments: Corps’ Projects • Grand Forks-East Grand Forks flood control - Substantially complete - $400 M total cost / 50% non-federal - $52 M from North Dakota Mitigation – US State

  6. Structural Accomplishments: Corps’ Projects • Wahpeton flood control - Construction underway - operational - $16 M total cost - $3.5 M from ND • Baldhill Dam- 5-ft flood pool raise - Completed in 2004 - $12 M total cost - $1.3 M from ND Mitigation – US State

  7. Structural Accomplishments: Maple River Dam • 60,000 AF temp. storage • - Started in 2004; completed 2007- $29.7 M total cost- $14.6 M from ND Mitigation – US State

  8. Structural Accomplishments: Rural Ring Dikes • May 2001: increased SWC cost-share to 50% Mitigation – US State

  9. Other Accomplishments: Floodplain Management - Rec. #13 • FEMA and ND: Map Modernization • - DFIRMs: 16 counties, 2 communities in progress- DFIRMs: 4 counties and 1 community completed Mitigation – US State

  10. Other Accomplishments: International Cooperation - Rec. #50 • Red River Basin Commission • - International Red River Board Mitigation – US State

  11. Other Accomplishments: Waffle Concept - Rec. #1 Courtesy of EERC • EERC completed Waffle study • - EERC concluded Waffle is economically feasible to mitigate flooding in large cities- More study needed on benefits of mitigating localized damages Mitigation – US State

  12. Recommendation #33: Farm Chemical Clean-up/Storage • Following ‘97 flood, EPA worked with ND to distribute info regarding farm chemical storage in flood-prone areas in RRB • - Collected about 91,000 lbs. of chemicals in months following ‘97 flood- ND Ag Dept’s “Project Safe Send” continues Courtesyof Dept of Ag Mitigation – US State

  13. Additional Needs and Gaps • Fargo flood control • Grafton flood control • More modeling: Red & Pembina • Border Dike - ND/MB Mitigation – US State

  14. Great Progress and Still Working! Mitigation – US State
