PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This annual report has been prepared in accord­ ance with paragraph 12-C of ER 1110-2-1400 to summarize significant tributary reservoir regulation activities of the Omaha District. The period covered is August 1980 through July 1981. II. RESERVOIRS IN THE OMAHA DISTRICT. a. Reservoirs with Flood Control Storage. There are 33 tributary reservoirs with allocated flood control storage covered in this report. The darns are listed below. Included are 22 Corps of Engineers darns and 11 Bureau of Reclamation darns. The reservoir locations are shown on Inclosure 1 and pertinent data are presented in Inclosure 2. Inclosure 3 tabulates the numerical buildup of Corps reservoirs in the Omaha District. Pictured on the preceding page is the Bureau of Reclamation's Buffalo Bill Darn and Reservoir in Montana. Although this reservoir has no storage allocated to flood control, it prevented considerable flooding during June when it stored a flood estimated to be at least a 100-year event.

In the spring of 1982 rehabilitation of the spillway is expected to be complete. 1 b. Reservoirs without Flood Control Storage. There are two Corps of Engineers tributary lakes without allocated flood control storage included in this report. They are both subimpoundments of the Missouri River Main Stem Projects and were formed by the construction of relocations for transportation facilities and utilities. Lake Audubon, a subimpoundment of Lake Sakakawea, is located just northeast of Riverdale, North Dakota. The lake is a key feature of the Bureau of Reclamation's Garrison Diversion Unit Project. Lake Pocasse, a subimpoundment of Lake Oahe, is located near Pollock, South Dakota. The Bureau of Reclamation planned to use the lake as a regulating reservoir for the proposed Pollock-Herreid Irrigation Unito At this time, construction on these diversion units has been halted pending solution of environmental and economic factors. Both lakes are used for fish and wildlife and recreational purposes. Their locations are shown on Inclosure 1 and pertinent data are presented in Inclosure 2. III. WATER SUPPLY. Water supply in the Omaha District during the reporting period was generally below average, prolonging the pattern of drought set in 1979. Little or no winter snowpack accumulated in the plains area. The mountain snowpack was about 50 to 60 percent on 1 May. Soon after mid-May, a combination of heavy rainfall and early mountain snowmelt caused record floods in areas around Deer Lodge, Helena and Bozeman, Montana. In early June, heavy rains augmented by snowmelt runoff caused flooding in north­ western Wyoming. Peak discharges of several streams in this area exceeded thelOO-year incidence. In southeastern Wyoming and the eastern slopes of Colorado, snowpacks recorded near record low water equivalents on 1 May. Runoff into the South Platte River was near 70% of normal above Chatfield Reservoir. Drought conditions generally prevailed during much of the period in Colorado and in parts of North and South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska. In extreme western Nebraska, flooding occurred along Lodgepole Creek as a result of runoff from a 9-inch rainfall on 1 July. The peak discharge at the gaging station at Bushnell was approximately equal to that of a 100-year event at that site. Despite above normal rainfall at many reporting sta­ tions during July, total runoff for the April-July period was much below normal and for many points in the Missouri River Basin, the runoff was the lowest of record. Inclosure 4 gives the percent of normal runoff at pertinent locations in the Omaha District. Atabulation of pertinent peak high water discharges given below indicates the magnitude of some of this year's maximum flows. See page 4. IV. RESERVOIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS. a. Corps of Engineers Dams. Flood damages prevented by the Corps dams in 1981 and accumulative totals are estimated as follows: FLOOD DAMAGES PREVENTED IN DOLLARS BY CORPS DAMS Dam 1981 Accumulative Total Bull Hook (Havre Project) 0 $ 20,663,500 Spring Creek (Lake Pocasse) 0 33,000 Bowman-Haley 0 1,838,000 Cottonwood Springs 0 0 Cold Brook 0 0 2 --~.

  • 2021 Adventure Vacation Guide Cody Yellowstone Adventure Vacation Guide 3
    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.

  • Section One S Ection O Ne
    Section One Waterton Canyon to County Line Road Recreation districts in charge: Douglas County Parks, Trails & Buildings Grounds Metro District of Highlands Ranch Parks and Open Space General Information The segment from Waterton Canyon past Chatfield Reservoir is rural in nature and passes over both private property and Chatfield State Park land. Some 50,000 people annually use this section of the path. Akin to a sandy, country road, the trail here is difficult for road bikes but well suited for horseback Section One riders, mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers, who will see an abundance of wildlife. The extraordinary design and construction of the canal is evident throughout this segment. The High Line begins nearly two miles up the canyon at a diversion dam on the South Platte River that funnels the water into a 600-foot- long tunnel. The water is siphoned beneath the river at one point and carried in aqueducts (or flumes) around several gulches before it emerges into the high plains, where the trail beings. 6 • Length: 16 miles across two major segments that are not connected. • Access: Wadsworth Boulevard (Colo. 121) and South Platte Canyon Road (Colo. 75) lead south to the Kassler Center, site of Denver Water’s old Kassler Water Treatment Plant. Trailhead parking is available in lots at the nearby Discovery Pavilion and at the Waterton Canyon parking lot. Cross the bridge over the South Platte to get to the trail. • Regulations: Campfires, dogs, unauthorized motorized vehicles, swimming and boating are not allowed in Waterton Canyon. Hours are half-hour before sunrise to half-hour after sunset.
