Erosion at the fence of the wastewater lagoon.<br />

Brockton Lagoon Bank Stabilization<br />

Fort Peck Reservation, Montana<br />

The embankment of the existing wastewater lagoon is eroding and several areas<br />

are vertical and under cut by the erosion. Wind erosion could wash out the banks<br />

during times of high water depths in the cell. In the spring the City of Brockton<br />

has to hold water at high levels to ensure that treatment has occurred be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

discharging in order to meet the NPDES requirements.<br />

There are areas where the dike width has eroded to less than 10’ adjacent to a<br />

drainage channel and is most susceptible to erosion due to prevailing winds.<br />

The lagoon system is adjacent to the Missouri River and may present a threat to<br />

downstream individual and community water users. Continued erosion may<br />

cause dike failure within 3 years. This project served 94 American <strong>Indian</strong> homes.<br />
