BISMARCK, N.D. - The U.S. Army Corps is increasing the flow from Garrison Dam to 52,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) according to a press release sent Monday.
The 8,000 cfs increase will put about 60,000 gallons per second more into the river. The Corps expects the Missouri River near Bismarck to 12 feet, which will put the levels just below the action stage.
The increase comes as levels at Garrison Dam rise to 1,851.1 feet, less than three feet from the dam’s maximum capacity of 1,854 feet.
The 52,000 cfs release rate is expected to continue into early July. Due to the 11,000 cfs releases being made through the regulating tunnels, there will be no public access to the wing walls. The west tailrace access will remain fully open to the public.
