Item Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement(State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 2018-12-26) State of Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesThe 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?Item 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.Item Wild Rice Dam Removal Mitigation Project(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 10/1/2014) United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.)The St. Paul District, Corps of Engineers, has prepared this assessment of the environmental effects that may result from the proposed dam removal at the Wild Rice Dam on the Wild Rice River, Cass County, North Dakota. This assessment of the Corps of Engineers proposal is required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), and the Corps of Engineers Procedures for Implementing NEPA (33 CFR Part 230).Item Fargo-Moorhead Flood Risk Management Project Dam Safety and Public Waters Work Permit Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Order of Commissioner.(State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 2018-12-27) State of Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesPursuant to the requirements of Minn.

Ch. 6115 the Cities of Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minnesota together with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“USACE”) and the Flood Diversion Board Authority (“Diversion Authority”) (collectively referred to as “Permit Applicants”) applied for a Minnesota public waters work permit and a Minnesota dam safety permit (collectively referred to as the “Permit Application” or “2018 Application”) to construct a flood risk reduction project on the Red River of the North (“Red River”) to reduce flood risk associated with the long history of frequent flooding of the Red River and its associated tributaries in the Fargo-Moorhead (F-M) metropolitan area, to qualify portions of the F-M metropolitan area for a 1-percent chance flood protection accreditation under the National Flood Insurance Program and to reduce flood risk for floods exceeding the 100-year (1-percent chance) flood or greater in light of the importance of the F-M metropolitan are to the region.Item Final Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 2011-07) United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.)This Final Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) documents the analysis of alternatives developed to reduce flood risk in the entire Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan area. The Selected Plan is the Locally Preferred Plan (LPP) and includes a North Dakota diversion channel (20,000 cfs), upstream storage and staging, associated structures, non-structural features, recreation features and environmental mitigation.Item Drayton Dam Fish Passage Mitigation Project(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 1/18/2013) United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.)The purpose of this project is to improve fish passage at Drayton Dam on the Red River.Item Dam Safety & Public Water Work Permit(State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 2018-12-27) State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources; State of Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesTo construct, operate, and maintain the dam; to excavate and fill in Public Waters; to realign a portion of the Red River; and to construct the Red River Control Structure and the Wolverton Creek Structure; all associated with the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project, as described in the permit application and support references and according to the Permit Conditions. The first phase of the dam is shown on plans titled “FMM Diversion Inlet Structure” by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and signed by Michael Bart, P.E. in May of 2016. The maximum authorized height of the dam is elevation 928.5 feet (NAVD88).Item Drain 27 Wetland Restoration(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 7/21/2020) United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.)Environmental Assessment Virtual PresentationItem Through Flood Damage Reduction Area(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 7/16/2012) Houston-Moore GroupThe purpose of this study is to evaluate options for increasing the flow and resultant residual Red River of the North flood stage through the flood damage reduction area as an alternative environmental mitigation project to the proposed fish passages on the Red and Wild Rice River control structures. This study evaluates River Stages (RS) beyond the approximately RS 31 feet planned for in the Integrated Final Feasibility Report and the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FR/FEIS) dated July 2011. This plan is now known as the Federally Recommended Plan (FRP).Item FEMA/USACE Coordination Plan(United States. Army Corps of Engineers. St. Paul District (U.S.), 4/14/2015) United States.
