...INCREASED RELEASES OUT OF GARRISON DAM...
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced a 2000 cubiuc feet
per second increase in discharge from Garrison Dam beginning
today. This will put the total release from Garrison Dam at 48,000
cfs. Downstream areas, such as the Bismarck and Mandan area, will
see an increase of about 0.3 feet in water levels. Missouri River
levels at the Bismarck gage have been between 11.0 and 11.2 feet
as of late and this new discharge suggests river stages may range
as high as 11.5 ft well into the first half of November.
The river has been running bank to bank all summer, and is currently only about 1 foot below "action stage". I would imagine these flows this late into fall are near historic levels.They sure are not in any rush to empty the lake. Seems like that could come back to bite!

Trust me, the Corps is plenty anxious to get Garrison and all the rest of its reservoirs down to where they need to be. Hence kicking it into a slightly higher gear. Last thing they would want to do is be trying to move water like this once we get to ice forming weather. And that will be here before you know it.
