<br />ISSUE 2
<br />
<br />FLOODING IN THE VERMILLION
<br />RIVER VALLEY
<br />
<br />A lthough the whole Basin is subject to
<br />n. flooding, the recent increase in flooding
<br />potential is most extensive below the East and
<br />West Forks of the Vermillion River, including
<br />the tributaries Clay Creek, Baptist Creek,
<br />Turkey Ridge Creek, Long Creek. Ash Creek.
<br />Blind Creek. and Hurley Creek.
<br />
<br />l'OTf.NTIAI. SOI.UTION 2-A
<br />Construd one or more wrge dams and reser-
<br />voirs on the Vermillion River, including both the
<br />East and West Forks.
<br />The Basin's Waler Project Districts
<br />could take the lead in implementing this solu-
<br />tion and provide some funding. Funding
<br />could also be sought under the u.s. Army
<br />Corps of Engineers' 205 program, under
<br />which the Corps pays 50% of study costs and
<br />up to 75% of construction costs, if feasible
<br />based on Corps criteria.
<br />The schedule for implementation would
<br />depend upon obtaining approval for funding
<br />first the studies, then the construction.
<br />
<br />POTENTIAL SOI.UTION 2-n
<br />Construct dams on tributary creeks.
<br />The Basin's water management boards
<br />could take the lead in implementing this idea.
<br />Funding could be sought under the V.s. Army
<br />Corps of Engineers' 205 program-the Corps
<br />pays 50% of study costs and up to 75% of con-
<br />struction costs. if feasible based on Corps criteria.
<br />The implementation schedule would
<br />depend upon approval for funding the studies
<br />and construction. This solution would
<br />address flooding throughout the Basin.
