  • Facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin Above and Including Guernsey Dam and the Four Inland Lakes Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska
    PREFACE This report documents the operation of all Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin above and including Guernsey Dam and the four Inland Lakes near Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This area of the North Platte River Drainage Basin is simply referred to in this report as the Basin. References to average in this document will refer to the average of the historical record for the years 1981-2010, except for water year 2012 information which uses the years 1982-2011. In each coming year this period will be advanced by one year to maintain a running 30-year average. INTRODUCTION The System of dams, reservoirs, and powerplants on the North Platte River (referred to as the "System" in this text) is monitored and in most cases operated and managed from the Wyoming Area Office in Mills, Wyoming. The operation and management of the System is aided by the use of a Programmable Master Supervisory Control, computerized accounting processes, an extensive network of Hydromet stations, control crest measurement weirs at gaging stations, SNOw TELemetry (SNOTEL) stations, and a snowmelt runoff forecasting procedure used by the Water Management Branch. The System consists of a number of individual water resource projects that were planned and constructed by Reclamation. The individual projects and features are operated as an integrated system to achieve efficiencies that increase multipurpose benefits. The drainage basin which affects the System covers an area from northern Colorado to southeastern Wyoming, encompassing 16,224 square miles. Storage reservoirs in the System include four off stream reservoirs known as the Inland Lakes in western Nebraska as shown in Figure 21.

  • PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact: Rick Young, Manager [email protected] (307) 235-8462 Bozeman Trail is the Topic of Lunch & Learn at Fort Caspar Casper, Wyoming – The Fort Caspar Museum Association announces its winter Lunch & Learn program which will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2017. There will be an optional lunch beginning at 12:00 pm, followed by a lecture at 1:00 pm given by Douglas R. Cubbison who will present “Defeat Along the Bozeman Trail.” There really was gold in “them thar hills.” In May 1863, gold was discovered in Alder Gulch in what is now southwestern Montana. As the Civil War came to a close, the new goldfield lured Frontiersman John Bozeman unemployed veterans and was viewed by the federal government as a solution to the war debt. The problem was how to get there. One route led west over South Pass into Utah, then north to the gold camps around Virginia City. This route was long, arduous, and time consuming. A shorter and more efficient route, located by John Bozeman, led from the Oregon Trail along the North Platte River, northwest through the Powder River Country. In the fall of 1865, the federal government directed the 18th U.S. Infantry to establish the Bozeman Trail to the Montana goldfields the next spring. Between 1866 and 1868, the U.S. Army would struggle with providing route security along the Bozeman Trail. Mr. Cubbison, Curator of the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Museum and First Vice President of the Wyoming State Historical Society, will provide a preview of his new book on the route to Montana by discussing how the U.S.
