Grand Forks - East Grand Forks Urban Water Resources Study. Comments Appendix
The goal of the Corps of Engineers Urban Study Program is to provide planning assistance to local interests in a variety of water resource areas, some not within traditional Corps areas of responsibility. The St. Paul District conducted the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks (GF/EGF) Urban Water Resources Study which was a cooperative effort among local, state and federal agencies. Primary attention was given to flood control, water supply and wastewater management; supporting investigations addressed recreation and energy conservation. Flood control studies showed that the East Grand Forks levee project authorized in 1953, but not constructed, still was economically feasible and recommended further study under the Corps' postauthorization program. Grand Forks flood control studies found four measures which qualified for further study and possible implementation under the Corps' Small Projects Continuing Authority. An urban drainage master plan proposed for the developing fringe areas around Grand Forks would require future developments to incorporate ponding areas to temporarily store runoff to limit peak discharges, to those that occur under existing land conditions. Flood emergency plans were developed jointly with both cities to improve their flood fight preparedness and effectiveness.
