FORT PIERRE — The Fort Pierre City Council has approved a Planning Assistance to States Agreement to help the city come up with a flood prevention plan design. Public Works Director Rick Hahn says ultimately the plan will have multiple phases…
Hahn says the first phase would cost 85-thousand dollars split 50-50 between the city and the Corps of Engineers. Phase Two would cost 118-thousand dollars, split in half and Phase Three about 28-thousand dollars, also split down the middle…
The plan would cover from Frontier Drive in the north to the Stanley County Fairgrounds in the south. Hahn says the federal government may have options for payment of the plan…
The plan would allow the city to take quick action to allow for release of upto 85-thousand cubic-feet-per-second, similar to Pierre without causing flooding. The Council agreed to the use of reserve funds to start the planning design.
