Minnesota has asked a federal judge to block construction of a $2.1 billion flood control project in the Fargo-Moorhead area until it issues permits for the project.

After several dry springs, communities are keeping a wary eye on the Red River in case it's due for another flood.

Fargo officials plan to scale back flood protection efforts after a lower Red River crest prediction by the National Weather Service. The weather service on Wednesday updated its forecast to show the range of the river peak to be between 38 and 40 feet, down a couple of feet from earlier predictions.

Fargo's neighbors are ramping up their flood fight against the Red River. The National Weather Service last week warned residents in Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., to prepare for possible record flooding, which would likely force more than 300 homeowners in the two cities to build sandbag dikes or provide other protection.

The National Weather Service says residents along the Red River in Fargo and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., should prepare for one of the top five floods in their history. Flood stage for the river is 18 feet. The flood outlook released Thursday says there's a 50 percent chance that the river will top 38 feet.

A Minnesota city is fighting a new state policy intended to protect water quality in Canada. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is seeking to cut phosphorus emissions from Moorhead's wastewater treatment plant.
