so how many phases of the Comite have they completed?


I don't know that anything beyond some broad, basic plans have been done. Most of the plans have been ignored, and the dynamic of houses, farms etc. has changed since they started studying it in the 1970's.

Here is a decent article that talks about a lot of the efforts, and lack thereof.

The outfall structure and pump station has been completed for the comite diversion. Got the chance to tour it a few years ago. They are currently building the re-route of hwy 61 so they can build the bridge across hwy 61. Funding of property acquisition, wetland and environmental issues have been the hold ups.
