Flood Risk Management: Red Lake River, Crookston, Minnesota
Location/Description
|
Crookston is in northwestern Minnesota's Polk County and approximately 25 miles east of Grand Forks, N.D. It is located on the Red Lake River, 52 river miles upstream from its confluence with the Red River of the North at East Grand Forks, Minn.
Significant flooding in Crookston has been documented as far back as 1887. Recent major floods occurred in 1965, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1978, 1979, 1996, 1997 and 2001. The flood of record was 27.3 feet in 1969, until the 1997 flood exceeded it with a stage of 28.6 feet. The Red Lake River rose to 26.38 feet - 11 feet above flood stage - on April 9, 2001.
|
Status
|
Two rock berms protecting the upstream side of the two cutoff channels were damaged from ice flows in April 2005 and need to be repaired.
Project closeout activities (operation and maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, levee certification) are complete.
Construction of the flood risk management project, consisting of levees, road raises and two cutoff channels, was essentially completed in November 2004.
|
Authority
|
Congress, via the Water Resources Development Act of 1999, specifically authorized this flood risk management project.
|
Fiscal
|
The feasibility study was cost-shared 50-50 between the federal Government and the non-federal sponsor, the city of Crookston. The final design and construction costs are to be cost shared, with the city of Crookston contributing a minimum of 35 percent and the federal government contributing the remainder.
Federal costs $6,798,750
Non-federal costs $3,941,250
Total $10,740,000
