Minnesota River at Chaska, Minnesota, Flood Control. Final Environmental Impact Statement.
Abstract
The plan consists of upgrading and extending an existing levee along the Minnesota River, diverting total flows of Chaska Creek to the outisde of the leveed area, diverting flood flows of East Creek to the outside of the leveed area, and constructing interior drainage facilities. This would require the removal of 6 mobile homes and 7 houses and commits the following lands to aesthetically disruptive flood control structures: 20 acres of cleared upland; 2 1/2 acres of wooded upland; about 5 acres of wet meadow grading to marsh; and 10 acres of floodplain wetland interspersed with bottomland trees. Drainage of about 30 acres of wetland would be completed by the East Creek bypass channel, and an additional 200 acres could be affected to an undetermined but probably limited extent.
