Local Officials Meet to Discuss Apple Creek Sloughing - September 5, 2024

Local officials from Burleigh County, Burleigh County Water Resource District, ND Department of Emergency Services, ND Department of Water Resources, US Army Corps of Engineers, and University of Mary representatives met to discuss the history of the sloughing along Apple Creek, recent activity, short-term planning, and long-term mitigation opportunities.

Burleigh County officials have been actively monitoring several areas of sloughing along Apple Creek since 2020. The area along Sibley Drive (south of Dogwood Drive) has become more active in the last month. The Burleigh County Highway Department has installed rip rap to stabilize the west bank to protect the roadway with regulatory permitting obtained through the US Army Corps of Engineers. 

The University of Mary is completing a multi-year slope stabilization project east of Apple Creek and west of their campus which is not the cause of the historically documented sloughing.

Currently, Apple Creek is naturally widening in the areas of recent activity and continues to be monitored with drone surveillance and onsite visits.

The Burleigh County Water Resource District in coordination with Burleigh County Emergency Management will be developing an emergency action plan to address the potential for larger Apple Creek slope failures. Modeling will also be developed to evaluate potential long-term mitigation project(s) and determine associated costs. 

ESTIMATED TAX NOTICES
Estimated tax notices will be mailed to all Burleigh County property owners whose estimated
property taxes will be $100 or more.

The estimated tax notices are a result of legislation intending to explain in dollars the effect of
each taxing entity’s preliminary budget and to increase taxpayer participation in the budget
process by providing the date, time, and location of each taxing district’s final budget hearing.

Please do not pay these estimated notices. This is not a billing, but rather an estimate of
what your taxes may be when the statements are delivered in December. The notices do not
include special assessments nor the 5% discount for early payment. The notices DO list any
Homestead or Disabled Veterans Credits as well as the Primary Residence Credit, if qualified.
For any questions regarding the Primary Residence Credit, please contact the ND State Office of
State Tax Commissioner at (701) 328-7988 or visit their website at https://www.tax.nd.gov/prc

The direct cost of these estimated tax statements will be allocated between the taxing entities.

If you have questions about taxes levied by any of the listed entities, please contact that entity
directly.
