Bismarck (CSi) The North Dakota State Water Commission has authorized cost-share grants for the first phases of the Valley City and Lisbon permanent flood control projects approved on May 30, 2014.
The State Water Commission says both cities were approved to receive 80% of their eligible project costs in grant funding. The balance of the projects costs are eligible for loans from the State Water Commission.
The State Water Commission will allocate funds appropriated in the 2013-2015 biennium, with the total amount of grant and loan funding approved at $12,540,294 for Valley City and $1,775,000 for the Lisbon.
The Valley City flood protection plan uses a combination of permanent structures, clay levees, concrete flood walls, and removable flood wall closures as protection from future flood waters.
Lisbon’s proposed plan is to install a clay levee through an area on the northwest side of the city.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A water projects bill signed into law by President Barack Obama includes the proposed $2 billion Red River diversion for Fargo-Moorhead.
Obama signed the bill Tuesday during a White House ceremony. Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker was on hand.
The 36-mile diversion project would move floodwaters through a channel around Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minnesota, a metro area that has faced major flooding in the last several years. The Water Resources Reform and Development Act authorizes construction of the project, but Congress must separately pass legislation to pay for it.
Corps of Engineers St. Paul District Commander Col. Dan Koprowski says the diversion is one of the top priorities for the corps’ Mississippi Valley Division.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The city of Fargo will no longer be auctioning off the homes it acquires through a flood buyout program.
City Engineer Nathan Boerboom says there’s no longer a market for the home auctions, where prospective homeowners pay to move the structures to new sites.
The properties now will be going straight to demolition contractors, who will have the opportunity to sell or salvage them.
Boerboom says remaining buyout homes likely won’t be bought for relocation. He says they’ll likely be used for parts.
The city has about 30 homes to sell off now and is not done buying out more homes.
DOUGLAS, N.D. (AP) – A district judge has put a stop to plans for a $6 million pipeline to relieve chronic flooding at Rice Lake in north central North Dakota.
Judge Richard Hagar says the Rice Lake Recreation Service District doesn’t have the authority under state law to use eminent domain to obtain land along the proposed 11.5-mile route of the pipeline to transfer excess lake water into Douglas Creek.
A landowner group had opposed the plan. Opponents worried that it could lead to downstream flooding of pasture and hay land.
The Minot Daily News reports that the Rice Lake Board of Directors did not immediately respond to Hagar’s ruling.
Rice Lake has risen four straight years, damaging or destroying about 30 homes.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota farmers are close to wrapping up planting of the state’s staple spring wheat crop.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that spring wheat is 93 percent planted, ahead of the average pace of 88 percent. Durum wheat seeding is a little behind average, at 73 percent done.
North Dakota potato farmers have 78 percent of their crop in the ground, slightly behind the average of 82 percent. Corn planting is 92 percent complete, near the average of 95 percent.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says she welcomes a Department of Justice plan that would require state and local officials to place at least one polling place in a location chosen by tribal governments.
Locations chosen by non-tribal members can require Native Americans to travel long distances to vote.
Heitkamp says it is “very upsetting” that there have been coordinated efforts throughout the country’s history to hinder the ability of Native Americans to vote. She made the remarks in a statement on Tuesday.
In May the senator helped introduce legislation that would further help ease restrictions Native American voters face. The Native Voting Rights Act of 2014 calls for translating ballots into Native languages, allowing voters to use tribal identification cards and enhancing election oversight.
TIOGA, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tioga Medical Center are breaking ground for a new 15,000-square-foot clinic in the city.
Jasper Schneider with the USDA says this project will double the size of the existing clinic in North Dakota’s oil patch. Construction is expected to be finished in 2015.
The medical center serves Divide, Williams, Burke and Mountrail counties. The USDA says the medical campus has quadrupled its number of patients in the last four years.
The federal agency has agreed to provide a $6.5 million direct loan and a $1.5 million loan guarantee through The Bank of Tioga. The medical center and the Bank of North Dakota will also finance the project.
In world and national news…
TROUTDALE, Ore. (AP) – Officials say a lone gunman armed with a rifle killed one student and injured a teacher at an Oregon school before the shooter was found dead.
Troutdale Police Chief Scott Anderson said Tuesday authorities have tentatively identified the gunman, but aren’t ready at this point to release the name. They are in the process of notifying the family of the gunman and student who was killed.
Anderson said the teacher suffered non-life threatening injures and was treated at the scene.
During the evacuation, another unrelated gun was found and one person was taken into custody.
SEATTLE (AP) – Prosecutors have filed murder and attempted murder charges against the man accused of killing one person and wounding two others in a shooting at Seattle Pacific University. Aaron Ybarra (ee-BAHR’-uh) will face one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder in the first degree. Ybarra was pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the floor by a student security monitor and held for police officers responding to Thursday’s shooting.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The House has overwhelmingly approved legislation to allow patients facing long waits for care at Veterans Affairs facilities to get VA-paid treatment from local doctors. The vote was Congress’ latest response to the outcry over backlogs and falsified data at the VA. The bill is similar to a broader measure that the Senate plans to debate soon.
KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) – The Taliban are warning that the violence in Pakistan isn’t over yet. Tuesday, gunmen attacked a training facility for airport police near the airport in Karachi. The attack forced a temporary suspension of flights, and it triggered a brief shootout with security forces. It came just two days after a Taliban assault on the airport. Ten Taliban fighters stormed a VIP and cargo terminal at the airport Sunday night, in an attack that killed 26 people along with the gunmen.
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) – Delaware’s transportation chief says officials are hoping to reopen the southbound lanes of an important interstate bridge by Labor Day — with the northbound lanes reopening a few weeks later. Officials closed the Interstate 495 bridge last week because supporting columns are tilting. The bridge typically carries about 90,000 vehicles a day. The state transportation secretary says equipment, materials and expertise are on the way to Delaware. Plans include drilling new foundations to bedrock.
