CONNECTION POINTS WILL RISE

SIOUX CITY---THE BIG SIOUX, PERRY CREEK, FLOYD CHANNEL AND BACON CREEK WILL ALL HAVE INCREASED SURFACE ELEVATION AT THEIR CONNECTION POINTS TO THE MISSOURI.

ENGINEERING STAFF HAVE MODELED AND EVALUATED EACH AND THOUGH THERE WILL BE WATER IN THE PIPES, THEY DO NOT EXPECT A SURCHARGE OUT OF THE STORM INLETS.

THE BIG SIOUX WILL REQUIRE SOME GATES TO BE CLOSED AND PUMPS WILL ABATE PONDING BEHIND THE DIKES.

THE BACON CREEK CHANNEL MAY HAVE SOME STORM IMPACT AT THE NORTH END OF HIGHWAY 75 AND GORDON DRIVE, BUT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE RIGHT OF WAY.

STAFF AND THE DOT ARE AWARE OF THIS AND PROVISIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR DETOURS.
PERRY CREEK AND THE FLOYD CHANNEL DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT STORM IMPACT.
