Changing Flood Risk
“If I am in a community that we come back five years down the road and they are still talking about a project, I am probably going to change the map then,” said Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation, Roy Wright. (April, 2015)

Developed in Fall 2011/Winter 2012 Certifiable Protection From the Effective Floodplain
(39.4 Feet) Funding limitations require prioritization Outstanding Issues
- With Comprehensive Plan completed would still need: o 7.6 miles of emergency clay levees o 3.2 miles of sandbag levees
Comprehensive Plan
With a functioning diversion during a 100 year flood event the flow through town would not exceed 35’ therefore the comp plan levees would not be necessary
With a functioning diversion during a 500 year flood event the comp plan levees would be needed to protect against river elevations that exceed 40’

Geotechnical Stability Why is it important? Earth loads from levee and/or floodwall impact stability of adjacent land Corps and certification requirement Minimum requirements for design and engineering practices must be met o Freeboard o Embankment protection and foundation stability o Settlement o Interior drainage
Public safety

Geotechnical Stability
Comprehensive Plan Setback - Based on limited borings and general assumptions - Every project must evaluate
geotechnical stability - Project Setback
- Rapid drawdown along steep slopes controls

Why build levee if Diversion Project is constructed? o Levee will provide real/interim flood protection o Levee will be compatible with the Diversion Project by providing protection on the greater than 100 year
flood events o Levee + Diversion = Increased level of flood protection
Will I be assessed for this levee project? o No – levee is being designed and constructed with Fargo Infrastructure Sales Tax Dollars, as well as
dollars from the State
