Part II:

A report released on Aug. 31 estimated moving or flood-proofing Perth-Andover would cost the provincial government about $7.5 million, while similar measures in Tobique First Nation would cost about $700,000.The New Brunswick government will pay up to $8 million to relocate or flood-proof low-lying homes in Perth-Andover that were hit by record flooding last spring, Local Government Minister Bruce Fitch announced on Tuesday.The relocation and flood-proofing measures come in addition to the nearly 200 claims for disaster financial assistance totalling $5 million that the provincial government processed and paid out in the weeks following the flood, Fitch said.The new flood mitigation plan also includes $360,000 to backfill a low area of River Street and to construct a small levee on Pit Road to protect properties from future damage.The provincial government will also spend $300,000 to update 800 metres of trail to allow emergency vehicles access to the Hotel-DieuHospital in Perth-Andover when high water events occur.In addition, $50,000 has been allocated for ice jam modelling.The review committee also recommended further investigation into how the provincial government can improve its risk assessment of potential ice break-ups and enhance its monitoring and flood forecasting capacity to provide real-time flow and water level monitoring, movement and ice jam formation.A follow-up report on three ice management options — ice control measures, ice growth suppression measures, and ice cutting and breaking measures — is expected in mid-October.Source: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2012/10/02/nb-perth-andover-flood-relocate-houses.html
