  • 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.

  • 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.

Hotchkiss, Chair E. James Nelson Gus Williams Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Brigham Young University June 2016 Copyright © 2016 Matthew William George All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Reservoir Sedimentation: The Economics of Sustainability Matthew William George Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, BYU Master of Science Despite mounting demand for a more sustainable worldwide water supply system, available reservoir capacity is relentlessly diminishing due to sedimentation. 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.

  • Montana Fishing Regulations
    MONTANA FISHING REGULATIONS 20March 1, 2018 — F1ebruary 828, 2019 Fly fishing the Missouri River. Photo by Jason Savage For details on how to use these regulations, see page 2 fwp.mt.gov/fishing With your help, we can reduce poaching. MAKE THE CALL: 1-800-TIP-MONT FISH IDENTIFICATION KEY If you don’t know, let it go! CUTTHROAT TROUT are frequently mistaken for Rainbow Trout (see pictures below): 1. Turn the fish over and look under the jaw. Does it have a red or orange stripe? If yes—the fish is a Cutthroat Trout. Carefully release all Cutthroat Trout that cannot be legally harvested (see page 10, releasing fish). BULL TROUT are frequently mistaken for Brook Trout, Lake Trout or Brown Trout (see below): 1. Look for white edges on the front of the lower fins. If yes—it may be a Bull Trout. 2. Check the shape of the tail. Bull Trout have only a slightly forked tail compared to the lake trout’s deeply forked tail. 3. Is the dorsal (top) fin a clear olive color with no black spots or dark wavy lines? If yes—the fish is a Bull Trout. Carefully release Bull Trout (see page 10, releasing fish). MONTANA LAW REQUIRES: n All Bull Trout must be released immediately in Montana unless authorized. See Western District regulations. n Cutthroat Trout must be released immediately in many Montana waters. Check the district standard regulations and exceptions to know where you can harvest Cutthroat Trout. NATIVE FISH Westslope Cutthroat Trout Species of Concern small irregularly shaped black spots, sparse on belly Average Size: 6”–12” cutthroat slash— spots
