Sand Creek Flood Risk Management Project, Jordan, Minnesota
Location/Description
|
The Sand Creek watershed is in west-central Scott County in the south-central part of Minnesota on the south bank of the Minnesota River. The Scott County Soil Survey identifies the majority of the watershed as alluvial land subject to frequent overflow. The watershed drains an area of 263 square miles, the majority of which is upstream of Jordan, Minn. The city has experienced severe flooding in the spring, as a result of snowmelt combined with rainfall, and in the summer from heavy rainfall.
|
The flood problems in this watershed, particularly in Jordan, were studied briefly in 1984 when the St. Paul District prepared an initial appraisal report that evaluated the potential for federal interest in constructing improvements for flood control in Jordan. The St. Paul District identified an alternative that had a favorable benefit-cost ratio and recommended proceeding with a detailed study. However, the city chose not to proceed with a study at that time.
In 1997, 1998 and 2001, Jordan experienced street and minor structure flooding. The city again asked the St. Paul District to review the flooding problems to see if a solution would be possible and feasible.
|
Status
|
Federal funds were provided in fiscal year 2008 to execute the Feasibility Cost Share Agreement. The estimated cost to complete the feasibility study is $470,000.
The St. Paul District's May 2002 initial appraisal report reviewed the flooding situation to determine if there was a federal interest in proceeding to a more detailed feasibility study. The initial appraisal report indicated that diversion of floodwaters through an open channel into a wetland west of Jordan might be feasible. The city provided a letter of support in 2004. The report was submitted to the Corps' Mississippi Valley Division in May 2004 and was approved in September 2004.

Fiscal
|
The first $100,000 of planning, design and analysis (feasibility study) is conducted at full federal expense. The remainder of the feasibility study is cost shared 50-percent federal and 50-percent non-federal. The implementation phase, consisting of the preparation of plans and specifications and construction of the project, is cost shared 65-percent federal and 35-percent non-federal.
