[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 220462, member: 843"] I'm not sure they have a lot of options at this point. What would a 65k, 70k, or 75k release look like for the Bismarck area right now? The water level has surpassed some of the existing rip rap in some areas and no doubt is causing some erosion and bank loss in others. I don't think any homes are flooding or experiencing any major issues right now but would they if releases were bumped to 70k? Are you saying the Corp should make the decision to 100% flood out and ruin the lives, as you put it, of a select few to POTENTIALLY save others? I guess my point is if you had interest in one of the low lying areas or homes that might see damage if the releases are cranked up you are going to say hold at 60k and lets pray the rain doesn't come in the next 7 days. If you have no personal interest in any property or a property that might not see any issues until flows hit 80k you are going to say up it to 75k and give us more buffer. [/QUOTE]
