North Dakota National Guard members lean across the plastic covering a sandbag dike at Mandan’s waste water treatment plant May 31 as Sgt. Aaron Pallansch (right), of Devils Lake, N.D., uses sandbags to weight the plastic down. Wind gusts up to 60 mph made covering the dikes more difficult, but the non-commissioned officer-in-charge of the project said that it was still progressing quickly due to the level of teamwork. About 75 Guardsmen were working to build a large ring dike around the area, a project that began yesterday afternoon.
