PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This annual report summarizes significant tributary reservoir regulation activities and tributary flooding within the geographic boundaries of the Omaha District. The period covered by this report is 1 August 1993 through 31 July 1994 and is referred to as the report period. II. REFERENCES. a. ER 1110-2-1400, 24 April1970. b. ER 1110-2-240, 8 October 1982. c. Missouri River Division Letter, 1 October 1970, subject: Reservoir Regulation Reports. Ill. RESERVOIRS IN THE OMAHA DISTRICT. The Omaha District, Corps of Engineers, civil works boundaries include 414,900 square miles that comprise the Missouri River watershed above Rulo, Nebraska. a. Reservoirs with Flood Control Storage. There are 36 tributary reservoirs with allocated flood control storage covered in this report. The dams are listed on the following page. Included are 25 Corps of Engineers dams and 11 Bureau of Reclamation dams. The locations of these 36 tributary reservoirs are shown in Appendix 1 and pertinent data are presented in Appendix 2.

There are two Corps of Engineers tributary lakes without allocated flood control storage included in this report. Both are subimpoundment of the Missouri River Main Stem Projects and were formed by the construction of relocations for transportation facilities and utilities. Lake Audubon, a subimpoundments of Lake Sakakawea, is located just northeast of Riverdale, North Dakota. Lake Audubon and Snake Creek Pumping Plant were to be major facilities of the Bureau of Reclamation's proposed Garrison Diversion Unit (GDU) Project. Lake Pocasse, a subimpoundment of Lake Oahe, is located near Pollock, South Dakota. The Bureau of Reclamation planned to use this lake as a regulating reservoir for the proposed Pollock-Harried Irrigation Unit. The development of this unit, however, has not materialized. Both lakes are used for fish and wildlife and recreational purposes. Their locations are shown on Appendix 1 and pertinent data are presented in Appendix 2. 2 IV. TRIBUTARY RUNOFF. Tributary flows during the report period were near normal or above normal in most of the basin. Table 1 presents calculated percentages of normal runoff at pertinent locations within the basin. The Long Term Palmer Reports for Drought Severity from years 1991 through 1994 are shown on Figures 1 and 2. Table 2 lists peak discharges at selected gaging stations including many reservoir release control points used by the Omaha District. Areas of extremely low runoff (less than 50% of normal) occurred in the Bear Creek basin and the South Platte River basin above Chatfield Dam in Colorado. Areas of 50% to 70% of normal runoff were the upper Wind River basin in western Wyoming above Boysen Reservoir and the Heart River basin in North Dakota. River basins that experienced

Since that time, the Service's Fisheries Program, including the National Fish Hatchery System (NFHS), has been involved in, among other things, mitigating the losses of fish habitats, fish populations, and fishing opportunities. The U.S. Congress and the Courts have provided laws, appropriations, and orders which have authorized the construction and operation of dams, and other water diversion projects. The construction and operation of these Federal water resource development projects have had impacts on many water systems and their respective fish populations. The construction and operation of these projects have resulted in the need to build and operate fish hatcheries to provide direct mitigation (e.g., provide disease-free fish eggs or fish for stocking) for waters impaired by Federal water resource development projects.
