Final Technical Memorandum; Diversion inlet gate analysis
(Flood Diversion Authority, 10/1/2013) Houston-Moore Group
The proposed FM Diversion begins approximately 4 miles south (upstream) of the confluence of the Red and Wild Rice Rivers and extends west around the cities of Horace, Fargo, West Fargo, and Harwood. The 36 mile long diversion channel crosses several rivers. The project includes gated control structures at the Red and Wild Rice Rivers. It has aqueducts at the Sheyenne and Maple Rivers that allow low tributary flows to enter the interior of the project area while larger flows would be passed into the diversion. The diversion channel also crosses the Rush and Lower Rush Rivers as well as several drains. The diversion channel ultimately discharges into the Red River downstream from the Red River’s confluence with the Sheyenne River near the city of Georgetown, MN

Evaluation of Fish, Benthic Invertebrates and Physical Habitat of Rivers Potentially Affected by the Fargo/Moorhead Flood Risk Management Project
(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 2013-02) URS Corporation
URS Corporation (URS), on behalf of the United States Army Corps of Engineers - St. Paul District (USACE), conducted a biological assessment to identify and characterize fish and invertebrate communities and biotic integrity within the Red River of the North and six tributaries. These waterbodies were assessed because they could be affected by a potential flood damage reduction project at Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota. The assessed waterbodies included Red River of the North, Wild Rice River, Sheyenne River, • Maple River, Rush River, Lower Rush River, and Wolverton Creek.
Supplemental Environmental Assessment
(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 2013-09) United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.)
The Red River basin in eastern North Dakota and along the western Minnesota border has a long history of flooding due to the unique hydrology of the area. Three large rivers, the Red River of the North, the Wild Rice River (ND), and the Sheyenne River, converge in the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area and contribute to extensive flooding. The Federally Recommended Plan (FRP) for the flood risk management project consists of a 36-mile diversion channel (six miles of which is a connecting channel) around the west side of the city of Fargo, a staging area, and approximately 12 miles of tie-back levees. The FRP is described as the Locally Preferred Plan (LPP) in the Final Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) dated July 2011; a Record of Decision was signed on April 3, 2012.
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 2016-05) State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
The Flood Diversion Board of Authority (Diversion Authority) is proposing to construct the FargoMoorhead Flood Risk Management Project (Project) with an estimated cost of $1.8 billion (October 2011 dollars). The Project is an approximately 30-mile long diversion channel on the North Dakota side of the Fargo-Moorhead (F-M) urban area (cities of Fargo, Moorhead, and surrounding high-population density cities), including a 6-mile long connecting channel, an overflow embankment, and tieback embankment with control structures on the Wild Rice River and Red River. The Project also consists of environmental mitigation projects, which would be located inside and outside the project area (ES Figure 1). When operated, the Project would divert a portion of the Red River flow upstream of the F-M urban area, intercept flow at the Wild Rice, Sheyenne, Maple, Lower Rush and Rush Rivers, and return it to the Red River downstream of the F-M urban area. Project operation would result in an approximately 32,000-acre upstream staging area. Because the Project includes the construction of a Class I dam (i.e., embankment system and control structures), an environmental impact statement (EIS) is required under Minnesota Rules, part 4410.4400, subpart 18.
Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
(State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 2018-12-26) State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
The DNR has determined the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS), published November 13, 2018, is adequate. This means that the state's environmental review process is now complete. Our basis for that determination is contained in the Record of Decision. In making its determination, the DNR considered public comments on the adequacy of the Final SEIS and the three adequacy criteria contained in state law: Does the SEIS analyze the topics identified in scoping? Does the SEIS respond to comments received on the draft? Did the DNR follow the process established in state statute and rule for preparing an environmental impact statement?
