2023 Normanna Township 52nd St Bank Stabilization Project <br /> <br />1. Description: The Sheyenne riverbank is slumping/eroding away on the south side of 52nd St just <br />south of the Norman Church. It had been slowly eroding until the floods of 2009 and 2011 when <br />large portions of the bank have disappeared and now is starting to encroach the roadway. In <br />2012 a study was done on possible ways to fix this problem. The study had 3 different options <br />ranging from $339,000 to around $1.7 million. There was not confidence that the least <br />expensive option of rip rapping the bank would be effective and the more expensive options <br />would be able to be funded. In 2018 a study was done by Metro Cog to see if this stretch of road <br />should be taken over by Cass County because of the importance of the road since it would be a <br />continuance of Cass County 18 that leads from I-29 to Cass County 15 just north of the new <br />Kindred High School. The study did have concern with the area in question and proposed some <br />alternatives. One alternative was to move the road and build a new bridge in a different area so <br />traffic would not have to deal with the riverbank. This option will likely cost $2.5-3 million and <br />was opposed by several local residents. In 2019 a fall flood event worsened the problem even <br />more since the banks were not frozen and eroded more of the bank away encroaching the road <br />surface. This is a very important road for our township and this problem needs to be addressed <br />sooner than later. <br />2. Point of contact for more information is Tyler Odegaard, Normanna Township supervisor. <br />3. Estimated Cost: $2,059,583 <br />4. A request of 90% of funding from the county and 10% from Normanna Township <br />5. No other funding sources currently. <br />6. Normanna Township will own and be responsible for the project <br />7. Other information: Normanna Township has a budget of around $100,000 per year and if we <br />budget $117,000 a year that would max out our 36 mill levy. We would plan to do this for 10 <br />years to pay back our 10% <br />8. Attached: Current Estimate by Cass County Hwy Dept, 2012 Houston Study, 2018 MetroCog <br />Study
