Missouri River Level To Drop For Dam Assessment
Gavins Point Dam
The Army Corps of Engineers plans to cut the
flow of water coming out of Gavins Point Dam in southeast South
Dakota next week to check for damage from last year's flooding.
The corps said Friday it will conduct the test on Tuesday to
look for damage caused by last summer's sustained high water
releases.
People who live downstream from the dam in Nebraska and Iowa
could see the Missouri River drop more than a foot on Tuesday
because of the test.
The corps' John Remus says preliminary inspections indicated the
dam sustained minor damage to its spillway, so officials want to
get a better look.
If the test is successful, officials will plan to reduce the
flow for a longer period in May to complete damage assessments.
