The US Army Corps of Engineers will hold its annual spring public meeting next month (April 12, 2022) in Fort Pierre to update the region on current conditions.
Corps officials will also discuss the planned operation of the mainstem reservoir system during the coming months.
The Oahe Reservoir meeting is at 10am CDT at the Casey Tibbs Rodeo Center in Fort Pierre (210 Verendrye Drive).
Other meetings will be held in Fort Peck, Montana; Bismarck, North Dakota; Sioux City, Iowa; Smithville, Missouri; and Nebraska City, Nebraska.
Public meetings are held each spring and fall across the Missouri River basin.
Spring public meetings provide a status of mountain snowpack, a runoff forecast for the year, and how operations during the runoff year will meet the authorized purposes for the Missouri River Mainstem System.
Fall public meetings provide an update on current year’s runoff and reservoir operations as well as planned operations for the next year’s runoff season. The Annual Operating Plan for the next year’s runoff season is released for public comment in September, presented at the public meetings and finalized at the end of the calendar year.
