August 22, 2011, KFYR 5 Bismarck -- (North Dakota) Clay dike removal progress. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers removed about 20 percent of the dikes in Minot, North Dakota, including those of Perkett and Sunny Side Schools. August 22 was the third day for crews working on removing clay from 5th Avenue.
The Corps said the dikes must come down because the clay has been saturated making the levees unstable. A Lieutenant with the Army Corps of Engineers said, “we do have the road on 5th Avenue Northwest open. Hopefully, we will be done in this area within about 2 weeks.”
The crews are removing about 100-110 loads of clay a day, and expect to be finished by the end of September.
