Dear Christine Lutheran Church, Christine Cemetery:

It has come to our attention you may be concerned with potential impacts to cemeteries upstream of the staging area of the proposed Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Flood Risk Management Project (Project). We hope the enclosed infmmation is useful to you. As explained further below, your cemetery will experience no water depth from the Project.

In September of2013, after the Supplemental Environmental Assessment for the Project was finalized, the St. Paul District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Authority (Sponsor) gathered information from various map and air photo sources, through interviews with cemetery representatives, and during on-site visits to cemeteries on both sides ofthe Red River from Georgetown, Minnesota, in the north to Abercrombie, Nmih Dakota and McCauleyville, Minnesota, in the south. The purpose of this effmi was to get a better understanding of potential Project impacts and benefits to cemeteries in the region, to identify potential mitigation measures that could be used to offset Project impacts, and to form a general understanding of existing flooding issues associated with regional cemeteries.

Based on that information, a Cemetery Study Report was prepared which lists (1) cunent and potential impacts to the cemeteries from flooding, (2) current and anticipated clean-up effmis after flooding, and (3) mitigation options to remedy or prevent potential Project-related impacts. The repmi also includes maps showing the approximate size and location of each of the 54 cemeteries identified as pmi of the study and gives water elevations and duration of water above natural ground level both with and without the Project in place for the 1 0-year, 50-year, 100-year, and 500-year flood events. The complete Cemetery Study Report is posted on the Sponsor's website at www.fmdiversion.com.

Enclosed is a map with water elevation and duration infmmation for the Christine Cemetery from Attachment 1 of the Cemetery Study Repmi. At the 100-year or 1-percent chance flood event, there is no change in water elevation between the without Project and with Project conditions. The same is true for 10 ofthe other 15 cemeteries upstream ofthe Project staging area.

The next step is to develop mitigation plans in consultation with the seven cemeteries in the staging area and the four cemeteries upstream of the staging area which may be impacted by the Project. The Corps' goal is to develop an actual site-specific Mitigation Plan within a year. It is impmiant to note that actual implementation of any mitigation will be completed prior to the completion of the Project.

Once again, the Christine Cemetery will experience no direct impacts from the Project and therefore will not be included in a mitigation plan. We hope this infmmation is useful to you. The point-of-contact for this action is Mr. Jon Sobiech, PD-Environmental, U.S. Atmy Coips of Engineers, St. Paul District, 180 Fifth Street East, Suite 700, St. Paul, MN 55101-1678, phone (651) 290-5428 or by email at [email protected].
