Jamestown,\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Last year, the Stutsman County Commission approved an open burning ordinance that limits when burning can be safely carried out.\u00a0 The ordinance is in effect 365 days a year.\u00a0 However, it restricts burning only when the Fire Danger Rating for Stutsman County is in the \u201cVERY HIGH\u201d or \u201cEXTREME\u201d categories or if a \u201cRED FLAG WARNING\u201d has been issued by the National Weather Service.<\/p>\n

Stutsman County Emergency Manager, Jerry Bergquist says, because of the dry conditions, today (April 25) is the first day this season that Stutsman County has been placed in the \u201cVERY HIGH\u201d fire danger category.\u00a0 Because of these conditions, the ordinance dictates that NO burning is permitted within Stutsman County. This includes starting, conducting, allowing, maintaining, or soliciting any open burn activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Violations of the open burning ordinance will be enforced.<\/strong>\u00a0 A violation is a Class B misdemeanor, for which a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail, a fine of $1,500.00 or both may be imposed.<\/p>\n

This ordinance is in effect in all of Stutsman County including its incorporated cities that do not have their own open burning ordinances.\u00a0 The ordinance does not include the City of Jamestown which has its own ordinances relating to burning.<\/p>\n

The daily Fire Danger Rating can be found by going to the Stutsman County website at www.co.stutsman.nd.us<\/a> and clicking on the red Fire Danger icon or by calling the Stutsman County Communications Center at 701-252-1000.\u00a0 A full version of the burn ordinance can also be found at the website under Departments, choose Zoning, and click on \u201cBurn Ban Ordinance\u201d on the right hand side of the page.<\/p>\n

Because of the dry conditions, expect additional days where burning will be restricted at least until the pastures green up.\u00a0 For more information contact the Stutsman County Emergency Manager\u2019s Office at 701-252-9093<\/p>\n

Washington\u00a0 (Sen. Heitkamp’s Office)\u00a0 <\/b>U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp Wednesday announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officially stated that Valley City can maintain its floodwall. The decision from FEMA is a result of a fix Heitkamp wrote and successfully included<\/a> in the funding bill Congress passed last month that allowed Valley City to keep in place the existing floodwall.<\/p>\n

Without Heitkamp\u2019s legislative fix, the federal government would have forced the city to remove the floodwall \u2013 which would have reduced flood protection and cost the city a great deal. Heitkamp\u2019s provision followed a meeting she held on March 10<\/a> with the Valley City mayor, commissioners, and other local officials involved in flood protection efforts during which she updated them about her efforts to try to include her provision in the funding bill.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to view the letter from FEMA confirming Valley City can keep its floodwall because of Heitkamp\u2019s provision in the spending bill.<\/p>\n

Heitkamp states, \u201cResidents in Valley City need strong flood protection in place to keep families and the community safe. And as of today, it\u2019s official \u2013 FEMA confirmed that Valley City will be able to maintain its floodwall. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have passed a fix through Congress that made this possible. Without it, FEMA would have forced Valley City to remove this critical floodwall and exposed residents to potentially devastating floods in the future. Now, Valley City will be able to stay strong and families living there will remain safe from floods. That\u2019s something we should all celebrate and it\u2019s a good day for common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Valley City built a floodwall to provide permanent flood protection to keep residents safe, it became known that the land where part of the wall is located is deed restricted because the land was purchased through the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency\u2019s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. As a result, FEMA had told the city to remove the floodwall at a cost of at least $150,000 — despite the fact that the entire purpose of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is to reduce impacts from natural disasters, including flooding — and then develop an alternative flood protection plan, which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars more.<\/p>\n

To prevent that from happening, Heitkamp successfully worked to include language in the federal funding bill Congress passed in March that allowed the floodwall to remain on this property. Heitkamp had been working with senators on the Senate Appropriations Committee and Senate Homeland Security Committee to press the issue, as well as with the North Dakota State Water Commission and the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services to gather their input.<\/p>\n

The flood fights in Valley City during the 2009 and 2011 floods \u2013 the first and second worst floods in the city\u2019s history \u2013 cost $19 million, of which $16 million was state and federal funds and $3 million was local funds. Following those floods, the city has been working to put in place permanent flood protection to keep the city and residents protected and reduce costs.<\/p>\n

This first phase of the project where a combination of a floodwall and levee were constructed to protect the university area, which includes 79 homes and seven businesses with a combined value of $49 million, is where the FEMA deed restricted lot in question is located. This part of the city\u2019s comprehensive flood protection effort was completed in 2016 and the city took great care to avoid three other FEMA deed restricted lots in developing and constructing the project, however, the lot in question was identified as city-owned. Last year, it was discovered the lot had been purchased with FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds.<\/p>\n
