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. 10
