Phase MI-2: Napa Valley
Phase MI-2 Napa Valley
urban flood control
The Napa Valley segment of the project begins at the west edge of Minot at the Highway 83 Bypass and ends at 16th Street SW across the Mouse River from the Minot Water Treatment Plant, on the north side of the Mouse River. The features through this segment of the project are predominantly earthen levees with an average height of approximately 14 feet. The existing levees through this stretch have an average height of approximately 7 feet. The Napa Valley segment includes a transportation closure structure at 16th Street SW which consists of a removable barrier floodwall which is put in place only during large flood events. The Napa Valley segment of the project includes a storm water pump station in the vicinity of 7th Ave and 20th Street SW, approximately 2 blocks south of Perkett Elementary School.
The Napa Valley levee impacts the Souris Valley and Wee Links Golf Courses. Impacts to these courses were mitigated by modifying the course layout and moving and reconstructing the features that are impacted. The Dakota Bark Park, located on the west end of the project, is impacted by the new levee. These impacts were mitigated to the park by re-configuring the existing fences and shelter in locations close to the existing park.
The access to Wee Links will changed with new access off of 16th Street in the vicinity of Forest Road. The new access and parking lot for Wee Links will also serve area fishermen. The fishing pier near the Minot Water Treatment Plant was relocated to the north side of the river, adjacent to the new Wee Links parking lot.
Construction began in 2018 and was completed in 2020.

Time lapse cameras have been placed at three locations along this phase of the project. Select the image to enlarge it and then you can play the slide show to see the progress. Images are updated approximately every 15 minutes.
Construction Time-Lapse Video
Cameras were placed at four locations along this phase of the project. Still images were captured every 15 minutes from the start of the project in 2018 until it's completion in 2020.

Phase MI-2a: Perkett Ditch/Centennial Park
Phase MI-2A Perkett Ditch
urban flood control
This phase of the project addresses interior drainage issues. The project includes a ponding area created in the proximity of the previous Centennial Forest and enhancements were made to the existing Perkett Ditch system. Construction on the project began during the summer of 2016 creating storm water solutions prior to the implementation of the Napa Valley levee system which began construction in 2018. The project was substantially completed in 2017.

Phase MI-2b: Souris Valley Golf Course
Phase MI-2B Souris Valley Golf Course Temporary Greens and Tees
urban flood control
This phase of the project created temporary greens and tees on three holes at the Souris Valley Golf Course. The improvements provided the golf course with continued playability of all 18 holes throughout the duration of the Napa Valley project, which directly impacted the golf course. These greens and tees were constructed during the 2016 construction season and were available for play in 2017.
As a part of the Napa Valley project, these three holes were reconfigured and reconstructed. These improvements were completed during phase 2 which was completed in 2020.
The golf course remained open throughout construction.

Phase MI-2c: West Peterson Coulee Outlet
Phase MI2-C West Peterson Coulee Outlet
urban flood control
Phase MI-2C, also referred to as the West Peterson Coulee Outlet, is a storm sewer project located near the West Hills Acres and West Ridge Estates subdivisions, along Ward County Road 15 immediately west of Minot. Wagner Construction completed the installation of the 48-inch, 60-inch, and 66-inch RCP storm sewer pipe in fall of 2022 despite delays in material procurement as a result of limited precast pipe suppliers in the region. The 9’ x 6’ precast box culvert beneath 41st Street NW and dual 60-inch RCP culverts installed beneath Harmony Street were also installed last fall. Final restoration, seeding, and erosion control measures were completed in spring of 2023.
The newly installed storm sewer serves as a bypass, redirecting storm water runoff that would typically follow the ditch along the US Hwy 83 bypass around the Tierrecita Vallejo and Napa Valley levee system. The bypass allows for runoff to be directed around the City’s levee system, minimizing the infrastructure required to provide interior drainage along the dry side of the levee.
