CorpsEngLogoTHUMBSt. Paul (CSi) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District,
seeks comments on a draft Environmental Assessment for an environmental
infrastructure project in Cooperstown, North Dakota.

The work will consist of the placement of five miles of an 8-inch polyvinyl
chloride, or PVC, pipe from the previously upgraded line from the
Cooperstown wells to its water treatment plant. The project is estimated to
cost $2.9 million of which the federal government will pay $2.2 million.

The Corps’ Environmental Infrastructure Program, also referred to as Section
594 program, authorizes the Corps to assist public entities, in the form of
design and construction of projects in North Dakota. These projects include
wastewater treatment, combined sewer overflow water supply, as well as
environmental restoration and surface water protection and development.
Similar projects have been completed in Fort Abercrombie, North Dakota, and
Minot, North Dakota.
