Will that have to be rebuilt?

all of us need to reach out and do all that we can to work with Spirit Lake Nation.

We have to begin working with the Corps to address the permanent structures that we have to change.

We have had, in our experience with Devils Lake, I think, 3 or 4 years in which we've had the 1 and 2 percent chance actually realized.

I think all of us understand the urgency and the tension whenever we hear, again, a flood threat.

Now, I chair the subcommittee in Congress that funds the Corps of Engineers, so I have a little bit of acquaintance.

Hopefully, in 4 or 5 months, we can have an informal visit and believe that we got through all of this.

Mr. Dummer, how periodic will your new forecasts be as we lead up to this potential spring event?

Are there any estimates about what the aggregate costs of dealing with those roads would be?

We appreciate that you continue to understand the challenges that lie ahead of us, and we hope we are able to work together to find workable solutions.

the concern would be, as Mr. Frink said, that it would go south, it would go what's referred to as the Surry Route.

this has been lake flooding that is chronic; comes and stays, and now apparently is set to substantially increase.
