In addition, recent developments to minimize impacts from the project include a ring-levee around the communities of Oxbow, Hickson, <br />and Bakke which may allow those communities to remain, rather than be bought out as previously planned. The Diversion Authority asks that you consider these changes as you make your <br />decision on the final alignment and construction of the power line. Thank you for for your consideration, Darrell Vanyo Chairman, Diversion Board of Authority <br />bgw \\mvp-netapp2\shares\Shares2\PROJECTS\SA\SA_Fargo-Moorhead_Metro_PED-370365\GIS\MXDStructureFeatures22Oct2012 -25 October 2012 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! <br />! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
