This exam, offered at this conference from 8:00 - Noon on Friday, November 16, covers the history and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), natural and beneficial value of floodplains, mitigation, flood map interpretation, Elevation Certificates, and floodplain ordinance administration. To apply to take the exam you must: 1) Fill out the eight-page exam application found on the ASFPM website at under Certification, and 2) Pay the exam registration fee to ASFPM. It is strongly recommended you start the exam application process at least three weeks in advance of the exam date. It is also recommended that those taking the exam attend this one-day review course. Go to for more information and to download the application and FEMA s 10-unit (500-page) manual Managing Floodplain Development through the NFIP for advance review. 8:00 am - 9:45 am Flood Damage Reduction Grant Money and Process Jen Nelson, HSEM & Pat Lynch, MDNR The Flood Damage Reduction Grant Assistance Program (FDR) was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 1987 to provide technical and financial assistance to local government units for reducing the damaging effects of floods. Under this program the state can make cost-share grants to local units of government for up to 50 percent of the total cost of a project. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a FEMA program administered by the State of Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM). As a 75% federal cost share program there are many requirements for eligibility. This training session will cover the application process and the coordination needed between the DNR, HSEM and the local jurisdiction. 8:15 am - 9:45 am GIS and Web Applications Jim Lind & Aaron Meilke, Barr Engineering Co. 9:45 am - 10:15 am Break This course will provide an overview of how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and web-mapping applications can be utilized to collect, organize, review and manage data related to flooding and floodplain management. The use of mobile devices for accessing and editing data and maps in the field using smart phones, tablet computers and other technologies will be covered. In addition, we will discuss the use of web-based mapping applications as a document/data management system used to access and view project related documents, photography, historical aerial photos, existing and proposed flood control features and flood inundation areas. The use of web or desktop based GIS for viewing real-time flood inundation and flood forecasts will also be highlighted. 10:15 am - 12:00 pm New Levee Certification Suzanne Vermeer, FEMA Region V Levee certification is the process that deals specifically with the design and physical condition of the levee, and is the responsibility of the levee owner or community in charge of the levee s operations and maintenance. Certification must be completed for the levee to be eligible for accreditation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Participants in this session will learn the Certification process, FEMAs role, and the differences between Certification and Accreditation. 10:15 am - 12:00 pm Geotechnical Aspects of Flood Protection Chuck Hubbard, Braun Intertech Earth dams and levees are not typical geotechnical structures. Part 1 of this session, The Hope of Design, will cover the geotechnical processes that govern earth dam and levee stability and performance, field and laboratory testing, seepage, stability and deformation analyses, and design for earth dams, levees, and the temporary structures that facilitate their construction. Part 2, The Truth of Construction, will cover construction equipment, excavations, dewatering, fill placement and compaction procedures, unforeseen conditions, inspections, testing and safety. The session will draw on experiences from four years of design and construction work on the Roads Acting As Dams (RAAD) project on the Spirit Lake Reservation in Devils Lake, North Dakota; on the flood protection work continuing within and expanding out of the Fargo/Moorhead, North Dakota/Minnesota area; and on impoundment structure construction in western North Dakota MnAFPM Annual Conference 5

Thursday, November 15 Conference Sessions/Events 7:00 am - 8:00 am Registration/Breakfast 7:30 am - 8:00 am MnAFPM Business Meeting 8:00 am - 8:15 am Opening Remarks Jeremy Walgrave, MnAFPM Executive Board Chair & Mayor Ardell F. Brede, City of Rochester 8:15 am - 9:45 am Plenary Session A: Meteorological Aspects and Impacts of Duluth Flooding Geoffrey Grochocinski, NOAA Jeff Hall, MnDOT Terry Colgan, Sutron Corp. 9:45 am - 10:05 am Break in Exhibit Area Historic heavy rains and flash flooding affected a large part of northern Minnesota and far northwest Wisconsin on June 19-20, Maximum rainfall amounts between 9.50 and inches fell across a large part of the City of Duluth, and adjacent areas of the north shore of Lake Superior near the City of Two Harbors. This presentation will discuss the scientific aspects of heavy rainfall and flash flood processes during this event, and the unique operational and topographic challenges this event encompassed. In addition, this is perhaps the most significant heavy rain/flash flooding event in the continental U.S. to yet be observed by a newly deployed dual-pol capable WSR-88D radar, and we will present a prelim nary analysis of the performance of the KDLH WSR-88D dual-pol data during this event. The presentation will continue with emergency operations, flood-warning systems and the long-term impacts to infrastructure, transportation, tourism and the recovery process across the region. 10:05 am - 11:45 am Concurrent Sessions A A1: Discharge - Frequency Analysis in Regulated Basins (Souris River) Greg Thompson, Houston Engineering Inc.

Matt Crawford, City of Rochester B2: St. Paul Inundation Mapping Christina Czuba, USGS 2:45 pm - 4:15 pm Plenary B: Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Project Brandon Barnes, Barr Engineering Co. Brett Coleman, USACE Greg Thompson, Houston Engineering Inc. Members of the Flood Diversion Authority are considering a list of options for changes to the Fargo-Moorhead Area Diversion Project that would save several million dollars in project costs, reduce upstream impacts and reduce risk of summer time project operation. The technical options are a result of value engineering and other studies as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers design process. This three-part presentation will focus on the feasibility analysis of potential impacts from the proposed diversion of the Red River of the North and some North Dakota tributaries as part of the Fargo-Moorhead Metro Flood Risk Management Project. One component of the proposed Fargo-Moorhead diversion channel is a meandering low-flow channel (LFC). However, a meandering LFC introduces the question of whether it is feasible to construct and maintain a LFC that is allowed to meander within a prescribed belt width. The study features the analysis of multiple sediment transport and geomorphologic datasets, including an intensive campaign to measure bedload and sediment transport rates and sediment gradations during the spring flood of A recently completed Extreme Rainfall Analysis related to the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion evaluates three historic events from southern Minnesota and Iowa. The events were processed using NEXRAD data, transferred to the Red River Valley, converted to runoff using HEC-HMS, then the output hydrographs were entered into the existing and with diversion HEC-RAS model for evaluation of how the diversion would be impacted by possible extreme rainfall events. 4:15 pm - 4:25 pm ASFPM Foundation Jonathan Johnson, ATKINS 4:25 pm - 4:45 pm Closing Remarks / Prize Drawings Andrew Judd, MnAFPM 2012 Conference Committee Chair Friday November 16 Conference Sessions/Events 8:00 am - 11:30 am CFM Exam Ceil Strauss, MDNR To apply to take the exam you must: 1) Fill out the eight-page exam application found on the ASFPM website at under Certification, and 2) Pay to ASFPM the exam registration fee.
