    Flood Risk Management: Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area

    The Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area is a major health, education, cultural and commercial center. The area is prone to flooding. The Red River of the North has exceeded the National Weather Service flood stage of 18 feet in 60 of the past 122 years (1902 through 2024), with seven of the top 10 floods occurring in the last 30 years. Although emergency flood fights have been very successful, the area has a significant risk of catastrophic flooding.

    Mississippi River Locks and Dams 3–10 Sheet Pile Installation at Auxiliary Locks

    Locks and Dams 3 through 10 have auxiliary chambers. Each auxiliary chamber has only a single set of miter gates that could pass shallow draft navigation traffic if the lock chamber was out of operation and the upstream and downstream pools were equalized. At each site, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers only installed one set of miter gates. An auxiliary lock chamber was never authorized by Congress, which would have included a second set of miter gates. Since installation, the auxiliary emergency gates have never been used, and the gate operating machinery was never installed.
