Erosion along Highway 2, Red Lake River, Crookston, MN
Location/Description
|
Crookston is in Polk County in northwestern Minnesota, approximately 25 miles east of Grand Forks, N.D. It is located on the Red Lake River, 52 miles upstream from its confluence with the Red River of the North at East Grand Forks, Minn.
Erosion from the Red Lake River has led to an unstable bank condition. A major slide in September 2003 caused severe damage to approximately seven residences and one commercial facility and threatens Highway 2. Highway 2 is a major east-west thoroughfare serving northern Minnesota. By letter dated Sept. 10, 2003, the city of Crookston requested Corps of Engineers' assistance.
|
Status
|
The Corps of Engineers provided technical assistance to the city immediately following the bank failure. The Corps did a preliminary investigation and determined that the scope of the project would likely exceed the Section 14 federal cost limit of $1 million. A complete fix was estimated to cost up to $10 million. Highway 2 has an average daily traffic count of 15,400, and a heavy commercial average daily traffic count of 680.
For economic justification of avoiding traffic disruption, delays of 1.5 minutes per vehicle would support maximum first costs of $7 million; delays of 6 minutes per vehicle would support maximum first costs of $87 million. Further investigation of traffic patterns would be required to determine an accurate cost of the preferred solution and determine the economic benefits from that solution.
|
Authority
|
The authority for this project is provided by Section 14 of the 1946 Flood Control Act, as amended. Section 14 authorizes the Corps to plan, design and construct projects to protect essential public facilities from streambank erosion. Projects recommended for construction under Section 14 must be economically justified and are limited to a federal cost of $1 million.
|
Fiscal
|
Under the Section 14 Emergency Streambank Protection program, the initial study amount of $40,000 is fully federal. All implementation costs above $40,000 are cost-shared 35 percent local and 65 percent federal. The total project cost is to be determined.
