Spring. -Summer 1 5 ~ TALK a 13 <br />cona~~~a hom Page ~z_ <br />FEAG4 HMGP <br />Additional funds have also been made <br />available by the State Legislature which are <br />being used to offset the non-federa12596 cost- <br />share for local units of government. Overall, <br />approximately $8.3 million dollars are being <br />spent to acquire and remove 155 floodprone <br />structures from Minnesota floodplains. <br />Structures are either being demolished or <br />relocated out of the floodplain. <br />The HMGP funds are not just being used for <br />acquisition, however. DEM is currently working <br />on projects which include drainage improve- <br />ments for the cities of Marshall. Fergus Falls. <br />Montevideo, and Afton; and Renville County <br />which, if approved by FEMA, will total an <br />additional $3.5 million dollars. <br />DEM is also working on development of a <br />statewide Flood Forecast/Warning System in <br />cooperation with. DNR. Division of Waters, the <br />U.S. Geological Survey. and the National <br />Weather Service. <br />c«~un tram p.~®»... <br />rl® Township's RIv Tnlnlnp Pr%ct <br />The massive machine operated with ease <br />despite channel flows of approadniately 4 feet in <br />depth and 3 foot per second in velocity. <br />While it is perhaps too early to declare the <br />project a sweeping success, casual observations <br />would appear to indicate the technique is <br />worthy of consideration as an addition to our <br />growing arsenal of alternatives to provide bank <br />stabilization. This would be particularly true in <br />the case of other similarly high, steep banks <br />commonly found in the Blue. Earth County area. <br />Township Supervisor Lyle Femrite said that his <br />only regret is that they did not attempt this <br />project much sooner. Portions of the road in <br />question have been relocated on at least four <br />occasions aver the past twenty years due to <br />shoreline migration. <br />Further information of this project can be <br />obtained by contacting the DNR-Waters Area _- <br />OIIIce in Mankato at {50'n 389-2151. - _ <br />Leo Getsfrled <br />Projects in the early stages of development <br />include acquisitions in the cities of Browns <br />Valley and Luverne. Additionally. consideration. <br />for expansion of the projects underway in <br />Austin and Mower County is being given. <br />The excellent coordination and cooperation <br />between the many state and federal agencies <br />inrvolved in disaster recovery has made marry of <br />these projects possible through cost-sharing of <br />funds which has substantially reduced the <br />financial burden on local units of government. <br />The local units of government involved in <br />-these projects are to be commended for their <br />efforts in making hazard mitigation a priority by <br />and these projects. <br />questions regarding the HMGP can. be <br />directed to Terri Smith at 612/296-0469. . <br />Leo has served as the Mankato Area Hydrologist <br />for the past seven years. He previously held the <br />same position at the Spicer Area O,~j4ce from the <br />period of 1978-1988. <br />
