The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), St. Paul District has a requirement for the Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project, Southern Embankment Reach SE-1B. The Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management Project, Southern Embankment Reach SE-1B, is located in Cass County, North Dakota, and consists of an earth dam embankment with gravel road on top, topsoiled and seeded side slopes, and ditches on both sides. Portions of the embankment slopes will have turf reinforcement mat. The dam embankment will tie into and extend north from the end of the existing Reach SE-1 embankment approximately ½ mile west of the intersection of CR16 and CR17, to the existing embankment at Diversion Inlet Structure. The reach also includes a short section of embankment connecting the existing embankment on the northeast side of the Diversion Inlet Structure to the existing embankment at the south end of Reach SE-2A. The combined total length of the dam embankment is approximately ¾ of a mile. The dam embankment material will come from a borrow site adjacent to the Diversion Inlet Structure. The reach also includes relocation of County Roads 16 and 17, including a roundabout at the new intersection of these roads and construction of adjacent ditching. County Road 17 will tie into the new bridge crossing the Diversion Channel, constructed under a separate contract. The road embankment material will come from a stockpile near the City of Fargo. The reach also includes street lighting and culverts, and removal of two existing abandoned water lines.
