Under Section 6 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (Public Law 78-534), the Secretary of the Army is authorized to make agreements with states, municipalities, private concerns, or individuals for surplus water that may be available at any reservoir under the control of the Department. Terms of the agreements are normally for five (5) years, with an option for a five (5) year extension, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This proposed action will allow the Omaha District to enter into surplus water agreements with interested water purveyors and to issue easements for up to the total amount of surplus water to meet regional water needs. During the temporary period the Corps recommends that a comprehensive strategy to address long-term regional water needs be developed that may involve the Administration, Congress and stakeholders. The Proposed Action (temporary use of surplus water) will not impede the capability and function of Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case to serve its authorized purposes. An Environmental Assessment, which is attached to this Surplus Water Report, identifies the baseline environmental conditions and provides an analysis of potential impacts from the proposed use of surplus water. There are no significant environmental impacts associated with implementing the proposed action.

Surplus water agreements with water use based on this process may be executed with existing and potential future applicants, pursuant to policy, upon approval of this Report by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) and completion of required NEPA analysis. The term of proposed temporary surplus water use is for up to a five (5) year period, renewable for up to an additional five (5) year period, subject to recalculation of reimbursement after the initial five (5) year period. This Surplus Water Report and accompanying Environmental Assessment investigate the engineering and economic feasibility and environmental effects of temporary use of up to 27,973 acre-feet/year of surplus water (71,890 acre-feet of storage) from the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case, SD Project. Surplus water, if available, may be used to meet existing and projected municipal and industrial (M&I) water supply needs in the region. The 27,973 acre- feet/year of yield (71,890 acre-feet of storage) evaluated for surplus water use in this report is an estimate that was selected to ensure that an adequate quantity of water was identified to meet the needs of both existing and future M&I water users. This Surplus Water Report will serve as the basis to enter into temporary surplus water agreements. A 10-year study period has been established for this surplus water study. The length of the study period was selected for several reasons. First, surplus water agreements may be executed for a five (5) year period, renewable for an additional five (5) year period. Second, prior to the end of the 10-year study period, the Corps recommends that a comprehensive strategy to address long- term regional water needs be developed that may involve the Administration, Congress and stakeholders. The surplus water agreements executed upon the approval of this Report will serve as measures to address temporary water needs of the region during the 10-year study period. The Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project is a unit of the comprehensive Pick-Sloan Plan for development in the Missouri River Basin. The operation of the upper Missouri River’s six mainstem reservoirs and the lower Missouri River’s levees and navigation channel provides for flood control, navigation, irrigation, hydropower, municipal and industrial water supply, fish and wildlife, water quality, and recreation. The temporary use of 27,973 acre-feet/year of surplus water in Lake Francis Case would result in additional net annual depletions of 2,543 acre-feet from the system for the ten year period, beyond existing usage levels. The primary difference between with and without project conditions is that under without project conditions, the additional 2,543 acre-feet will come from groundwater sources and under with project conditions, withdrawal of the additional 2,543 acre-feet will come from the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project. Both conditions assume continuation of existing use sourced from Lake Francis Case. The Daily Routing Model (DRM), developed during the 1990’s as part of the Master Manual Review and Update Study (Master Manual), was used as an analytical tool in this study to estimate the hydrologic effects that an additional 2,543 acre-feet of depletions would have at Lake Francis Case, the other system reservoirs, and free-flowing reaches of the Missouri River. Surplus Water Report i Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case, South Dakota A comparison of DRM simulated water surface elevations, stream flows, and river stages between without project conditions and with project conditions resulting from an additional depletion of 2,543 acre-feet from Lake Francis Case was performed to assess the magnitude of changes resulting from the proposed temporary use of surplus water from the Project. Modeling results indicate that stage and flow reduction estimates throughout the system are extremely small because the projected depletion is very small relative to total storage at Lake Francis Case (5.4 million acre-feet). Because the Missouri River projects are operated as an integrated system taking into account system withdrawals both in and outside of the Federal projects, no changes to system operations will be required as a result of the temporary use of surplus water from the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project. Under current policy pricing, the annual payment for surplus water would be $51.86 per acre- foot of yield (equivalent to $20.18 per acre-foot of storage) at FY 2012 price levels. In a memorandum dated May 8, 2012, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works (ASA CW) directed the Corps of Engineers to initiate action immediately to purse notice and comment rulemaking to establish a nationwide policy for surplus water uses under Section 6 (Attachment 1). Pending completion of rule-making to establish a nationwide policy for surplus water uses under Section 6, surplus water agreements would be entered into at no cost. The term of these agreements would be for a period not to exceed the time needed to conclude the rulemaking process. All users of surplus water would need to enter into new or revised agreements implementing the nationwide policy price once the rule becomes effective. An alternatives analysis was conducted, which assessed non-structural measures (conservation, recycling, and temporary permits to convert irrigation water to industrial use) and structural measures (project modifications to increase storage capacity, temporary use of surplus water including associated infrastructure, groundwater withdrawals including associated infrastructure, and surface water withdrawals including associated infrastructure). The No Action – Next Least Costly Alternative is withdrawal from groundwater. A test of financial feasibility was conducted, which demonstrated that entering into agreements for the use of surplus water from the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project is a lower cost alternative than the most likely, least costly alternative for providing the needed water supply. An analysis of environmental impacts was conducted using the same DRM outputs that were used to assess impacts to project purposes. The analysis of environmental impacts identified no significant impacts from providing surplus water from the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project. The temporary use of surplus water assessed in this report is both economically and financially justified and will not affect the authorized purposes of the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project. It is recommended that 27,973 acre-feet/year of yield (equivalent to 71,890 acre-feet of storage) in the Fort Randall Dam/Lake Francis Case Project be made available for temporary use for municipal and industrial water users. Pending completion of rule-making to establish a nationwide policy for surplus water uses under Section 6, surplus water agreements would be entered into at no cost.

  • 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.

  • Research Report: Nebraska Pilot Test
    6.1 Nebraska pilot test Effective Designs for the Administration of Federal Elections Section 6: Research report: Nebraska pilot test June 2007 U.S. Election Assistance Commission 6.2 Nebraska pilot test Nebraska pilot test overview Preparing for an election can be a challenging, complicated process for election offi cials. Production cycles are organized around state-mandated deadlines that often leave narrow windows for successful content development, certifi cation, translations, and election design activities. By keeping election schedules tightly controlled and making uniform voting technology decisions for local jurisdictions, States aspire to error-free elections. Unfortunately, current practices rarely include time or consideration for user-centered design development to address the basic usability needs of voters. As a part of this research effort, a pilot study was conducted using professionally designed voter information materials and optical scan ballots in two Nebraska counties on Election Day, November 7, 2006. A research contractor partnered with Nebraska’s Secretary of State’s Offi ce and their vendor, Elections Systems and Software (ES&S), to prepare redesigned materials for Colfax County and Cedar County (Lancaster County, originally included, opted out of participation). The goal was to gauge overall design success with voters and collaborate with experienced professionals within an actual production cycle with all its variables, time lines, and participants. This case study reports the results of voter feedback on election materials, observations, and interviews from Election Day, and insights from a three-way attempt to utilize best practice design conventions. Data gathered in this study informs the fi nal optical scan ballot and voter information specifi cations in sections 2 and 3 of the best practices documentation.
