SHEYENNE RIVER BANK EROSION, Home threatened Mr. Wietand was contacted by Lynn Goerger and Janice Friedfich, property owners of a home along the Sheyenne River north of County Highway 6. They are concerned about dyer bank erosion threatenin§ their home. Mr. Berndt said in 1992 the county replaced a bridge over the river with a box culvert and additional sheet piling was installed in 1998 to curtail erosion that was occurring downstream from the culverL He noted the culvert does not appear to be aligned well with the channel and may be contributing to bank erosion by directing the water toward the bank. Mr. Bemdt discussed several options, including repairing the river bank and purchasing the home. The owners said they purchased the house in 2001 for around $160,000. They would prefer the county buy the home. Mr. Wieland is concerned about homes to the north if the river bank is not fixed. Mr. Bemdt is confident the county could repair the slide. He prefers the county try to repair the problem and then discuss future options with the owners. Mr. Wieland would like a few members from the Road Advisory committee as well as a member from Southeast Cass Water Resource District look at the site and discuss the options.
