Plan has been deliberately designed to be flexible , permitting phased, coordinated,
but independent implementation of most of its elements. Accordingly,
the schedule propo~es acquisition by 1990, but the schedule is not critical to
the success of the Plan.
G. TRIER DITCH CUT-OFF
Some form. of the Trier. Ditch Cut-Off has been considered a viable flood control
measure for this area since 1913. The Cut-Off proposed here is a diversion
channel designed to carry approximately 40 percent of the St. Marys River
flood flow around Fort Wayne. Because the Trier Ditch Cut-Off is such a major
proj ect in the Plan in terms of cost and time, the task of constructing the
channel is further broken into subtasks. . These subtasks include.design,
right-of-way acquisition; bridge construction, St. Joseph River channel improvements,
constructing the diversion structure, and the Maumee River channel
improvements.
The design subtasks should begin in 1983 and be completed in 1985~ Right-ofway
acquisition should commence in mid-1983 and be completed by 1986. Highway,
railroad, and bridge construction should begin in 1985 with a completion
date to coincide with that of the balance of the Trier Ditch construction.
The St. Joseph River channel improvements, diversion structure, and :t'laumee
River improvements should. commence in 1987 . These dates could be staggered if
found advantageous. However, it is probable that the funding will come from a
single source and thereby allow all phases of work to begin concurrently. The
Trier Ditch Cut-Off should be completed by 1990.
