Flooding was the result of a minor early melt dislodging a stop log on a dam upstream of Belcourt along Ox Creek. Contributing to this flooding through Belcourt was the inappropriate disposal of heavy snow from the season into the creek bed. Flooded was a number of homes and the dialysis center at the local hospital. There were 26 Project Worksheets (PW). Estimated damages were $200,000.
