Flood Risk Management: Red River of the North at Grand Forks, North Dakota/East Grand Forks, Minnesota
|
Location/Description
|
The cities of Grand Forks, N.D., and East Grand Forks, Minn., are located at the confluence of the Red River of the North and the Red Lake River, approximately 90 miles south of the Canadian border. Their combined population is nearly 60,000.
|
|
Status
|
Construction is complete to the 250-year level of protection (equivalent to the peak discharge experienced during the 1997 flood). On January 26, 2007, the Corps certified that the majority of the project was substantially complete and functional to a 100-year level of protection. The Point area was certified to the 100-year level in July 2007. Shortly after each certification, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, issued Letters of Map Revision to the existing Flood Insurance Maps to reflect the protection provided by the levees and floodwalls. Project closeout remains to be completed.
|
|
Additional
|
The project consists of 30 miles of levees and 3 miles of floodwall set back from the river, forming three "rings" around both communities. Also included are two diversion channels, 23 pump stations, 24 miles of recreational trails and seven trailheads.
|
|
Authority
|
The project was authorized in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1999 (Public Law 105-277).
|
|
Fiscal
|
Project design and construction costs are shared between federal and non-federal (the two cities) interests. The non-federal cost share varies from a minimum of 35 percent to a maximum of 50 percent, depending on the cost of the real estate. Operation and maintenance costs are a 100-percent non-federal responsibility. For fiscal year 2007, the project received $15.1 million in Federal funding. Additional funding to complete remaining work prior to final project turnover is being pursued by the non-federal sponsor for fiscal year 2010.
