Fort Randall Power Plant Development Plan Omaha District Hydropower Master Plan Final Submittal Aug 2016 1 Team Omaha, I am pleased to present the Omaha District Hydropower Master Plan. The Hydropower Master Plan provides a guide for future development decisions. The plan outlines the future requirements that will sustain our hydropower mission capability. Our purpose is to develop a strategic master plan that will guide future programming and funding for all hydropower sustainment, rehabilitation, and modernization requirements in a way that provides predictable funding and maximizes efficiencies to ensure the long-term resilience and reliability of this critical national infrastructure. There are several key tasks essential to our success: Plan for the future with a comprehensive, feasible, and efficient master plan. Program and secure predictable funding to sustain, rehabilitate, and modernize power plant infrastructure according to an established master plan. Prioritize repairs and improvements through risk-informed decisions and communication. Execute funding and complete programmed and funded projects according to contracts and agreements. Our desired end state is to ensure Omaha District hydropower infrastructure is rehabilitated and modernized no later than 2035 to maximize resilience and provide renewable, reliable energy production to the nation for an additional 50 years. I encourage you to become familiar with this plan and to foster greater partnership with every organization whose activities impact the physical development of hydropower in support of the larger U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mission. John W. Henderson, P.E.

To assist key decision-makers, district engineering staff. Collaboration included working stakeholders, and hydropower sponsors in understanding, sessions, interviews, site visits, and independent analyses of planning and conducting the District’s mission, the HMP power house requirements. Figure 1.1 depicts the three main provides current and future requirements, describes steps of the planning process to develop the HMP. constraints, and depicts future facility and infrastructure Identification: development plans. The initial step in the planning process focuses on outlining the project purpose, scope, and guiding principles. The vision, goals statement, and charter were established through interviews and a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis from Omaha District leadership and Operations Project Managers. Existing conditions presented in the Hydropower Asset Management Program (hydroAMP) were analyzed to identify constraints and opportunities. Facility requirements submitted on Operations and Maintenance Work Requests (OMWRs) and the Hydropower Modernization Initiative (HMI) for power houses were used to create the lists of candidate projects for further evaluation. Evaluation: A preferred alternative was selected through evaluating and validating the obtained data. Alternatives were developed and analyzed through work sessions to select the final plan Garrison Project surge tanks elements to ensure requirements, project scope, and schedules were met. 1 Introduction Implementation: the exception of Fort Peck, which was authorized by the River and delivers reliable, cost-based hydroelectric power for a 15- The plan is implemented by developing a project list, referred and Harbors Act of 1935 and the Fort Peck Power Act of 1938. state region of the central and western United States.

  • 1 Literature Review Costs and Benefits of Pick-Sloan Projects on North Dakota Paper Submitted to the Missouri River Joint Water
    Literature review Costs and Benefits of Pick-Sloan Projects on North Dakota Paper Submitted to the Missouri River Joint Water Board In completion of Step 1 of the Consultancy Robert R. Hearne Professor Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics North Dakota State University 14 February 2020 This literature review has been prepared under contract from the Missouri River Joint Water Board. The purpose of this review is to provide an understanding of the previously documented research pertinent to the costs and benefits of the Pick-Sloan program on North Dakota. The Missouri River Joint Water Board has remained concerned that the impacts of the Pick-Sloan dams upon North Dakota have been predominately negative. It is hoped that further documentation of these impacts would support policy and management initiatives that would eventually be more favorable to North Dakota. The documents reviewed were encountered via database searches, reference lists from subsequently published documents, and through material available in the North Dakota State University Library governments document repository. 1. Directly Pertinent Studies on Changes in North Dakota A number of reports have been developed over the last 60 years on the impacts of the Pick-Sloan project on North Dakota. Most of these have been the result of commissioned research and most have been released as reports of the NDSU Department of Agricultural Economics (later Agribusiness and Applied Economics). A standard algorithm has been employed for analysis with some variation. This algorithm, with frequent deviation, includes: 1) definition of a representative farm, both with and without irrigation, with a variety of crops suitable for the particular irrigated or non-irrigated area; 2) estimation of returns to land and management, using NDSU extension crop budgets for the representative farms, sometimes with simulated price variation; and 3) regional analyses, using input-output analysis and appropriate multipliers for impacts upon local agribusiness and commerce.

Stefanov The distance across the narrow neck of land (image lower right) associated with this meander is approximately 1 kilometer (0.62 miles). However, the river flow is controlled by the Big Bend Dam downstream, so the natural process of meander cutoff has been significantly slowed. Snow cover also highlights circular agricultural fields on the small peninsula within the meander bend. This type of field indicates center-pivot irrigation, where water is distributed from a central point radially outwards using sprinklers to cover the field area. Crops grown here include corn and soybeans, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's CropScape database.

  • Shallow Water Fish Communities in the Missouri River Downstream of Fort Randall and Gavins Point Dams in 2003 and 2004 with Emphasis on Asian Carps
    Shallow water fish communities in the Missouri River downstream of Fort Randall and Gavins Point dams in 2003 and 2004 with emphasis on Asian carps Prepared for the Aquatic Nuisance Species Coordinator, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service – Region 6, 134 Union Boulevard, Lakewood, Colorado 80228 By Robert A. Klumb – Fish Biologist U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Great Plains Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Office Pierre, South Dakota 57501 November 21, 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2003 and 2004, fish were collected during late-spring through summer with conical minnow traps (two mesh sizes), bag seines, and mini-fyke nets in shallow water habitats in the unchannelized Missouri River downstream of Fort Randall and Gavins Point dams in South Dakota and Nebraska. Presence of three Asian carp species, bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, silver carp H. molitrix, and grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, have been documented in the Missouri River downstream of Gavins Point Dam but have not been found upstream of this barrier. Whether Asian carps are reproducing in this reach of the Missouri River in South Dakota and Nebraska is also unknown. Adult silver carp were observed downstream of Gavins Point Dam in the mouth of the James River, South Dakota in 2003 and 2004, but no young-of- the-year (YOY) for all three Asian carp species were captured downstream of either dam. Lack of YOY captures potentially resulted from: 1) adult Asian carps migrating in summer to feed but, as of yet, are not reproducing in the South Dakota and Nebraska waters of the Missouri River downstream of Gavins Point Dam, 2) have only recently become established in this part of the Missouri River, 3) gears used in this study were deployed in habitats not inhabited by YOY Asian carps or 4) gears used were ineffective to capture this life stage.

This fact, coupled with a decrease in the rate of dam construction, indicate an impending water supply dilemma. In the future, dams should be designed following a life cycle management approach rather than the typical short-sighted design life technique. Neither sustainable reservoir lifespans nor intergenerational equity is achieved through conventional cost-benefit analyses (CBA), which render all benefits and costs projected to occur more than several decades into a project as negligible.
