Crews dump rock, sandbags on eroding ND spillway
Crews worked in strong winds to reinforce a southeastern North Dakota dam spillway that was being eroded by flood waters Sunday, and nearby farms were evacuated as a precaution.
The earthen Cottonwood Creek Dam at Lake LaMoure is about 20 miles from the nearest community and its greatest threat is to farms and roads, State Water Commission assistant engineer Todd Sando said. A Black Hawk helicopter from Fargo dropped about 80 1-ton sandbags, and bulldozers pushed rock into the spillway.
'It's stable right now but it's not under control,' Sando said at mid-afternoon. 'Right now, we've got lots of wind that's blowing a lot of water, making big waves. I'd feel a lot better if the wind dies down.'
THE GUARD SAYS LAMOURE COUNTY ASKED FOR HELP LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. THE GUARD SAYS MORE THAN 100 1-TON SANDBAGS HAVE BEEN DROPPED, AND BULLDOZERS HAVE BEEN PUSHING ROCK INTO THE SPILLWAY.
