CWN Submits Comments to Army Corps of Engineers on Fargo-Moorehead Flood Risk Management Project
Yesterday the Clean Water Network, along with a number of individual groups within the Network, submitted comments to the Army Corps of Engineers on the Draft Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement on the Fargo-Moorehead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project on the Red River of the North. The comments call for the Corps to depart from the traditional structural approach diversion canal favored in the draft EIS, and instead fully-evaluate and implement a more modern restoration solution. These modern solutions can solve the flooding issues in these communities at a fraction of the cost, while generating ancillary social, economic, environmental and public health benefits.
