  • Artificial Drainage Report.Pdf
    HH3: Souris River Basin Artificial Drainage Impacts Review July 15, 2019 FINAL REPORT Submitted to the International Souris River Study Board by the HH3 Working Group Report prepared by Bob Harrison Executive Summary This project was undertaken as a portion of the Souris River Study. The governments of Canada and the United States asked the IJC to undertake studies evaluating the physical processes occurring within the Souris River basin which are thought to have contributed to recent flooding events. The public expressed a high interest in the issue of agricultural drainage impacts. Thus an “Artificial Drainage Impacts Review” was added to International Souris River Study Board’s (ISRSB) Work Plan to help address their questions and provide information to the public regarding wetland drainage. This report summarizes the current knowledge of artificial drainage in the Souris River basin. The study involved a review of drainage legislation and practices in the basin, the artificial drainage science, the extent of artificial drainage in the basin and the potential influence on transboundary flows Artificial drainage is undertaken to make way for increased or more efficient agricultural production by surface or/and subsurface drainage. Surface drainage moves excess water off fields naturally (i.e., runoff) or by constructed channels. The purpose of using surface drainage is to minimize crop damage from water ponding after a precipitation event, and to control runoff without causing erosion. Subsurface drainage is installed to remove groundwater from the root zone or from low-lying wet areas. Subsurface drainage is typically done through the use of buried pipe drains (e.g., tile drainage).

  • An Examination of Ideology and Subject Formation Among Elite And
    AN EXAMINATION OF IDEOLOGY AND SUBJECT FORMATION AMONG ELITE AND ORDINARY RESIDENTS IN THE BAKKEN SHALE, NORTH DAKOTA, 2015-2016 A Dissertation by THOMAS ANDREW LODER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Christian Brannstrom Committee Members, Forrest Fleischman Wendy Jepson Kathleen O’Reilly Head of Department, David Cairns August 2018 Major Subject: Geography Copyright 2018 Thomas Andrew Loder ABSTRACT The US shale energy boom of the late 2000s and 2010s has brought both economic growth and negative externalities to communities undergoing extraction. Building on previous research on fracking landscapes – as well as geographies of energy and natural resources and case studies of environmental subjectivity in extractive zones – this dissertation employed a suite of qualitative methods to examine the discourses and ideology used to support and oppose fracking-led development in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale. The dissertation consists of three substantive chapters. The first employs key actor interviews and participant observation to examine how pro-oil ideology is advanced by economic and political elites in North Dakota. This chapter concludes that elites frame support for oil as an extension of existing conservative ideologies prevalent in the state. The second substantive chapter consists of content analysis of coverage of oil- related events in state-level newspapers, specifically concentrating on a 2014 conservation ballot measure and the Keystone XL pipeline. This chapter concludes that pro-oil writers are more effective in their messaging due to focusing on economic and emotional appeals.

Dear Secretary Kerry and Minister Baird: The unprecedented flooding in the Souris River basin in 2011 prompted calls from both sides of the border to review the existing agreement that deals with water supply and flood control in the Souris Basin. The governments subsequently requested that the Commission develop a “Plan of Study” (POS) to identify what needs to be done to address this issue. In particular, the focus should be on evaluating the Operating Plan, but also on identifying potential additional measures to help alleviate flooding in the basin. An integral part of this analysis should be to assess the impacts of climate change in light of the increasing magnitude of floods.

  • 2011 Souris River Flood—Will It Happen Again?
    North Dakota State Water Commission 2011 Souris River Flood—Will it Happen Again? A By taking into consideration historical climate record and trends in basin response to various climatic conditions, it was determined flood risk will remain high in the Souris River Basin until the wet climate state ends. During a wet climate state there is about a 0.2-percent chance, in any given year, that there will be another flood like the 2011 flood (or greater). In other words, if the current wet climate state continues during the next 10 years, there is about a 2-percent chance that there will be another flood like the 2011 flood (or greater). Specifically, when looking at Rafferty Reservoir (the primary flood-control structure for downstream communities), there is a 3-percent chance in any given year that the annual capacity will be exceeded. This means that if the wet climate state continues during the next 10 years, there is about a 30-percent chance Rafferty’s annual capacity will be exceeded.

    Plan of Study: For the Review of the Operating Plan Contained in Annex A of the 1989 International Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America Photo credit: Collage developed from images obtained from the USGS library of photographs following the floods in June 2011. Prepared for The International Souris River Board February 2013 by the 2012 Souris River Basin Task Force EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Context The sharing and management of water across the International Boundary between Canada and the United States has its origin in the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 between the two countries. The Treaty also established an International Joint Commission (IJC) to have jurisdiction over the use, obstruction or diversion of these waters. Over the decades, various bi- national boards have been established by the IJC to address the management of the trans- boundary waters of the Souris River basin and its major river, the Souris River which is also known locally as the Mouse River. Currently, the International Souris River Board (ISRB) is responsible for ensuring compliance with flow apportionment and low flow measures adopted by the two countries and for performing an oversight function for flood operations in cooperation with the designated entities identified in the 1989 Canada-United States Agreement for Water Supply and Flood Control in the Souris River Basin, including the terms of Annexes A and B of the Agreement and subsequent Amendments to Annexes A and B in 2000. The Board operates under a 2007 Directive from the IJC and reports to the Commission annually.

  • Chapter 2: Existing Conditions
    CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS The Existing Conditions chapter of the Airport Master Plan for Minot International Airport provides the baseline framework to evaluate the airport facility. This chapter will be used to compare the existing facilities to the requirements determined in the following chapters of the plan. This process will lead to a plan developed for the future of the airport. Background information and data has been gathered from various sources and compiled into this chapter and appendices. Please refer to the various appendices referenced within this narrative for more detailed technical information. Background General Minot International Airport (FAA ID: MOT) is North Dakota’s 3rd busiest airport for enplaned passengers and 4 th busiest for aircraft operations. The airport is located in Ward County in north central North Dakota. The airport is a commercial service airport providing scheduled passenger service, overnight cargo, and complete general aviation services. The airport served 30,966 aircraft operations and enplaned 220,552 passengers in Federal fiscal year 2014. Location Minot is located in north central North Dakota, the county seat of Ward County. Minot is the 4 th largest municipality in North Dakota and is located along the Souris (Mouse) River which starts in Saskatchewan, Canada then loops down into the United States through Minot before returning back into Manitoba, Canada. Minot is approximately 210 miles west of Grand Forks, North Dakota; 110 miles north of Bismarck, North Dakota; 125 miles east of Williston, North Dakota; and 245 miles southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan.
