Erosion continues <br />to occur where the existing rip rap ends. We are requesting <br />funding assistance to further mitigate .these erosion problems. <br /> <br />Project Objectives: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(1) . To control existing erosion problems along the Mississippi <br />River and protect the river bank. <br /> <br />(2) To allow further City planning to continue for a boardwalk <br />and park along the Mississippi River, as shown by <br />attached map. <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />Description of Measures Planned: (If not the least cost ~ontrol met~od(s). <br />explain; if a continuation of a previously funded SLR proJect, explaln) <br /> <br />This project would be a continuation of a previously funded <br />SLR Project in May 1991. This project allowed placement of <br />rip rap from the Elk River Bridge to the west. This application <br />would allow extension of this rip rap further to the west. <br />Rip rap is the most cost effective solution to the problem. <br /> <br />. Project Timetable: (Include a projected completion date) <br /> <br />Upon approval of the SLR application, the City would seek bids <br />from private contractors. We would plan to construct the <br />improvement as soon as possible following bids at a time when the <br />water level is low. The 1991 project was constructed in the winter. <br />'- E-4 - <br />
