SLR Application and Work Plan <br />(The following Format must be used) <br /> <br />2/86 <br /> <br />District Sherburne County S.W.C.D. <br /> <br />(attach an eligibility checklist) <br /> <br />Project Name 1996 Mississippi River Bank E~osion <br /> Elk River, Minnesota <br /> <br /> Description of the problem: (include photographs of the project site) <br /> Rip rap is currently located approximately 600 feet west of the Elk River Bridge <br />over the Mississippi River. Erosion continues to occur where the existing rip rap ends. <br />We are requesting funding assistance to further mitigate these erosion problems. <br /> <br />Project Objectives: <br /> <br />(l) <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />To control existing erosion problems along the Mississippi River <br />and protect the river bank. <br /> <br />To allow further City planning to continue for a boardwalk and <br />park along the Mississippi River, as shown by attached map. <br /> <br /> Description of Measures Planned: (if pot the least cost control method(s), <br />explain; if a continuation of a previously funded SLR project, explain) <br /> This project would be a continuation of previous'ly funded SLR Project: <br />in May 1991 and May 1994. These projects allowed placement of rip rap <br />from the Elk River Bridge to the west. This application would allow <br />extension of this rip rap further to the west. Rip rap is the most cost <br />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 from <br />private contractors. We would plan to construct the improvement as soon <br />as possible following bids, at a time when the water level is low. The <br />1991 and 1994 projects were const~-~cted in the winter.-' <br /> <br /> <br />
