    MDU Retires

    Size isn't everything:;:smokin but just by the sheer scale of the difference between the two plants now is pretty substantial! Red is the 88 MW peaking plant they have now vs all the rest of the main plant.

    MDU Retires

    No I just had the same question a few years ago when they put in the first peaking plant so did a little digging into the unit they run.

    MDU Retires

    No they are just adding a second peaking plant to the one they already have there which is a GE7EA. Since these are just stationary jet engines and do not require water for their generating process the warm water plume will no longer be there..

    Little heart pond

    How did you end up? That pond is so shallow I would have to think most trout don't last to long in the summer heat. That pond would definitely work better with catfish or some other warm water fish.

    NDDOT land question

    Pretty much but it can get a bit sketchy on some of the small stuff. normally A good rule of thumb is if the county mows it the county owns it. It's sort of like the 440 rule lots and lots of hunters think it's a law that applies to all situations but in reality it's doesn't. For instance 440...

    NDDOT land question

    Hell you can stand in the median of the interstate and blaze away if you want. If you really want to be goofy with it you can do it standing a hundred feet from somebody's house ....not saying it's a good idea but it is in the end legal.

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    Someone should send out a letter to all the representatives making it sound like you're at least somewhat Pro this law just to see if you can bait in any of the bad voters to show us who they are.

    Noise Ordinance for Boats

    Big difference in floodplain in the area I live vs that ground... almost 10 feet difference as a matter of fact. That ground out there floods every single year and the only way to raise it would be to do something along the lines of Southport. Worse yet filling in that area you removes an area...

    Noise Ordinance for Boats

    But like has already been pointed out how do you develop that that's all flood plain out in front there so you'd either have to backfill it in which would be stupid or have whatever you have located three hundred yards from the water. As for the original topic I see they've not changed the...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    The group to get involved in this are all the hotel and bar owners because they tend to be quite the force when they become organized.

    Cat in Lincoln

    That's not how it works with cats. Hell where I lived worked and hunted in Colorado I only ever saw one and that was for about 1.25 seconds! Cats are super sneaky and super hard to hunt without something dramatically tilting in your favor. Some guys have had some success with calling them in and...

    Cat in Lincoln

    Why don't you try hunting mountain lion sometime without a dog and see just how easy it is guarantee you it's a shit ton harder than hunting pheasants without a dog! So if it's okay to use dogs for pheasant and grouse birds that far simpler to hunt without a dog why is it not sporting when using...

    Weather

    Apparently when it comes to snow in Bismarck we are operating under the slow and steady wins the race mantra. Haven't had much for any real storms but there definitely seems to be some snow starting to pile up. Which I guess for wildlife is good cuz no storms really to smack them around too hard...

    Noise Ordinance for Boats

    Harleys are maxed out at 80 dbs off the line where airboats often fall in the 90 to 120 range. - - - Updated - - - The city has no plans the new mayor has an idea but he clearly has never been down there since there is nowhere to build such a place! The only stretch that could be developed is...
