My name is Judy Denzer . I'm with the

00:05.239 --> 00:07.072
ST Paul District , Army Corps of

00:07.072 --> 00:09.295
Engineers and we are here today at Lock

00:09.295 --> 00:12.220
and Dam Five in Minnesota City and I'm

00:12.229 --> 00:15.100
the Lock Master here in charge of this

00:15.109 --> 00:17.739
site . So we've been experiencing high

00:17.750 --> 00:20.799
water . So we are actually in flood

00:20.809 --> 00:23.739
conditions . It's beginning to go over

00:23.750 --> 00:27.170
the top of our upper gates here and the

00:27.180 --> 00:29.860
upper wall . So we are close to all

00:29.870 --> 00:32.224
navigation . What we did to prepare for

00:32.235 --> 00:34.402
the high water coming over the wall is

00:34.402 --> 00:36.764
we placed sandbags along the wall and

00:36.775 --> 00:39.404
as close together , wrapped in plastic

00:39.415 --> 00:41.784
trying to keep any of that water , the

00:41.794 --> 00:45.564
debris from floating in too far from

00:45.575 --> 00:48.104
getting into our machinery , our

00:48.115 --> 00:48.924
equipment .
