More rain falling has meant snow melting faster and the rivers rising at an accelerated pace.The major rivers in the state are on flood watch, but tributaries could cause problems as well.As News 12's Erick Lind tells us the Blue Earth River is getting more attention, especially at the Rapidan Dam.Blue Earth County Public Works Director Al Forsberg is getting ready for a wet spring with small streams flooding over roads and closing small bridges.He's also contacting the right people so the Rapidan Dam will be ready if the Blue Earth River brings extra water from the snowier south.Forsberg says, "We are contacting the Corps of Engineers and the National Weather Service for predictions on the Blue Earth River by the Rapidan Dam, so we can be prepared for that."Now Forsberg says 'there isn't any specific concerns right now for the citizens', and the people working at the dam say they're looking forward to the water coming through.North American Hydro Western Regional Manager Ryan Weisz says, "There's really not much going over the dam at this moment. Predicting the next couple of weeks, we're going to see some water coming through and we're ready for it."Ryan Weisz is the North American Hydro's Western Regional Manager at the Rapidan Dam site.He says they are currently seeing 700 cubic feet of water a second go through the dam.They are preparing for that number to jump to 17,000 by next week, which is slightly above the flood stage.Weisz says, "If it comes we're ready to handle it, but it's still very exciting to see, you know a lot of water passing through. The power of the water coming through the dam is a magnificent site."It's a site that Weisz, and his coworkers have to keep an eye on 24 hours a day this time of year.They've had to break ice off the gates throughout the winter.Now they'll have to watch for debris that could potentially dam the gates.As long as they can avoid any problems, they feel this melt will keep flowing smoothly.In Rapidan, Erick Lind,News 12.
