<br />used for recreation not only by Basin residents, <br />but also by Sioux Falls residents and tourists. <br />Diminished water quality, especially in the <br />lakes and streams, has been noticed, and it is <br />feared that the shallow aquifers that underlie <br />the Basin may be in danger of contamination. <br />Severe flooding throughout the Midwest <br />in 1993 was the trigger for action in the Ver- <br />million Basin. In late spring, the Vermillion <br />River system again spread out to cover many <br />thousands of acres of land. Throughout the <br />summer lake levels rose, and serious thunder- <br />storms caused additional localized flooding. <br />Damage in the Basin approached $250 minion. <br />The federal Interagency Hv..ard Mitigation <br />Team, which did followup work to look for <br />ways to avoid a future similar disaster, echoed <br />the Corps' earlier recommendation that a <br />holistic. integrated approach to flood mitiga- <br />tion be undertaken by the Basin people. <br />The time was ripe for a new way oflook- <br />ing at and solving flood problems in the <br />Vermillion Basin. <br /> <br />-The nlllion must adopr a 1l('W (lpprOl/cll--oMt' <br />Ihllt takes full Il.ival/tage of all rllL'lllC'Ills lll'ail.Jblt' <br />/(I mlrw.' ~'lIlnl'rrllliliry W flood .-Jmnllgt's tHIll, in <br />paml/d, to prote," fwd t1/hallcf rlU' nlltumf <br />rcsour(l"$ mul fUllctiml$ of tile jloodplain" <br />ShdringthtChallmgt <br />ReportofthtlnttTClgt'ncyf'/o(lJpldin <br />Managemenl Revitw Commil/f't to rht <br />Administralwn'$ FIooJp/ain Mllnagtml'tll <br />Tad Foret <br /> <br />---~_..-- <br />. -. . f' . .q,., .- .., '~";"'I.'
