Construction and Environmental Disturbance Requirements

These represent the minimum requirements of the North Dakota Department of Health.

They ensure that minimal environmental degradatíon occurs as a result of construction or related work which has the potential to affect the waters of the State of North Dakota All projects will be desígned and implemented to restrict the losses or disturbances of soil, vegetative cover, and pollutants (chemical or biological) from a site.

Soils

Prevent the erosion of exposed soil surfaces and trapping sediments being transported.

Examples include, but are not restricted to, sediment dams or berms, diversion dikes, hay bales as erosion checks, riprap, mesh or burlap blankets to hold soil during construction, and immediately establishing vegetative cover on disturbed areas after construction is completed. Fragile and sensitive areas such as wetlands, riparian zones, delicate flora, or land resources will be protected against compaction, vegetation loss, and unnecessary damage.

Surface Waters

All construction which dÍrectly or indirectly impacts aquatic systems will be managed to minimize impacts. All attempts will be made to prevent the contamination of water at construction sites from fuel spillage, lubricants, and chemicals, by following safe storage and handling procedures. Stream bank and stream bed disturbances will be controlled to minimize and/or prevent silt movement, nutrient upsurges, plant dislocation, and any physical, chemical, or biological disruption. The use of pesticides or herbicides in or near these systems is forbidden without approval from this Department.

Fill Material

Any fill material placed below the high water mark must be free of top soils, decomposable materials, and persistent synthetic organic compounds (in toxic concentrations). This includes, but is not limited to, asphalt, tires, treated lumber, and construction debris. The Department may require testing of fill materials. All temporary fills must be removed. Debris and solid wastes will be removed from the site and the impacted areas restored as nearly as possible to the oríginal condition.

RE: Red River Control Structure

Dear Kris:

On August 30, 2021, on behalf of the Metro Flood Diversion Authority (MFDA) you provided a copy of the plans, specifications, and other supporting information to the Buffalo-Red River

Watershed District (BRRWD) for the Red River Control Structure. The BRRWD issued permit

19-003 to the MFDA for the Flood Diversion Project. As a condition of that approval, the

BRRWD staff reviews and provides approval prior to the start of construction of any components of the dam in Minnesota. Per the permit conditions, the intention of this plan review and approval is to ensure consistency with the original project design and ensure local drainage accommodations and erosion control are adequate. Based on our review of the drainage and erosion control, it appears that they are adequate.

According to the conditions of BRRWD Permit 19-003, the construction of the Red River control structure can proceed when all property rights necessary for its individual construction are acquired. We understand that those rights are in process of being obtained. Once those rights are obtained, the Metro Flood Diversion Authority may proceed with construction.

We appreciate the opportunity to review the plans for this component of the overall Flood

Diversion project.

If you have any questions or need assistance, contact the Buffalo-Red River Watershed District by telephone at (218) 789-3100 or by email at kaltrichter@brrwd.org.

Sincerely, Kristine M. Altrichter

BRRWD Administrator mailto:kaltrichter@brrwd.org
