Project Profile Fort Randall Dam Pickstown, South Dakota Project Profile(2013) Project Summary Completed in 1952, Fort Randall Dam encloses Lake Francis in south central South Dakota. The Spring of 2011 brought historic flooding to Fort Randall Dam and the entire Missouri River corridor. As a result of this flooding, inspections made it apparent that numerous repairs were needed to rehabilitate the dam. Part of the repairs included extensive hydrodemolition and partial replacement of large portions of the spillway slab. Concrete shrinkage was already a concern given that the replacement concrete would be highly restrained by the underlying remaining concrete and the surrounding concrete. Of additional concern - since more than 8” of concrete was being removed in most areas, reinforcement steel for temperature and shrinkage would need to be installed, requiring 130,000 dowel anchors to be drilled into surrounding concrete. The dowels could put additional strain on the concrete both during installation and during service. In lieu of the 130,000 dowels and temperature and shrinkage steel, the owner opted to use PREVent-C® admixture at a 5% dosage rate along with a macro polypropylene fiber at 5 lbs/yd in addition to other adjustments to their specialty concrete mix design.

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.

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.

Fort Randall Power Plant Development Plan
Omaha District Hydropower Master Plan Final Submittal Aug 2016 1 Team Omaha, I am pleased to present the Omaha District Hydropower Master Plan. The Hydropower Master Plan provides a guide for future development decisions. The plan outlines the future requirements that will sustain our hydropower mission capability. Our purpose is to develop a strategic master plan that will guide future programming and funding for all hydropower sustainment, rehabilitation, and modernization requirements in a way that provides predictable funding and maximizes efficiencies to ensure the long-term resilience and reliability of this critical national infrastructure. There are several key tasks essential to our success: Plan for the future with a comprehensive, feasible, and efficient master plan. Program and secure predictable funding to sustain, rehabilitate, and modernize power plant infrastructure according to an established master plan. Prioritize repairs and improvements through risk-informed decisions and communication. Execute funding and complete programmed and funded projects according to contracts and agreements. Our desired end state is to ensure Omaha District hydropower infrastructure is rehabilitated and modernized no later than 2035 to maximize resilience and provide renewable, reliable energy production to the nation for an additional 50 years. I encourage you to become familiar with this plan and to foster greater partnership with every organization whose activities impact the physical development of hydropower in support of the larger U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mission. John W. Henderson, P.E. Colonel, Corps of Engineers District Commander 2 Charter PARTNERING CHARTER We are committed to work together through a positive, effective, and enduring partnership to ensure success of the ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ goals and objectives as outlined in the Omaha District JOHN W.

MATTES CONTENTS PAGE Introduction 5 The Missouri Basin 7 The National Park Service and the Missouri Basin 9 Historic sites investigations 13 Literature cited 20 3 HISTORIC SITES ARCHEOLOGY ON THE UPPER MISSOURI ' By Mekrill J. JVIattes ^ INTKODUCTION The Flood Control Act of 1944 laid the groundwork for a compre- hensive water-control plan for the Missouri River Basin, involving the survey of over 100 potential reservoir sites, and the early creation of several of these reservoirs by the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. The construction of large dams, inundating extensive river valleys, posed a grave threat to important historical and archeo- logical values quickly recognized by two other Government agencies which have primary responsibilities in these fields—the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior, and the Smithsonian Institution. Under the aggressive leadership of chief historian R. F. Lee and assistant chief historian Herbert E. Kahler, of the National Park Service, and Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., of the Bureau of American Ethnology, a program was launched for the sur- vey and salvage of archeological sites threatened or doomed by the prospect of inundation (Corbett, 1949; Johnson, 1951; Mattes, 1947; Roberts, 1952). Conceived in 1945, the program was actually implemented in 1946 when a field office of the Smithsonian Institution was set up at the Laboratory of Anthropology of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and the positions of historian and liaison archeologist were set up by the National Park Service at its Region Two Office in Omaha (Wedel, 1947) .
