Zach Haddix, a civil engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, led a public stakeholder meeting, Sept. 17, 2024, in Jamestown, North Dakota. The meeting focused on Sustainable Rivers Program opportunities available at Pipestem Dam and Lake, and along the James River. USACE, the National Weather Service and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department presented on Pipestem Dam operations and history, as well as basin information. Following the presentations, participants held open house style discussions on the potential opportunities and interests at Pipestem and in the James River Basin. Potential opportunities may include reservoir pool management strategies to promote nearshore vegetation to improve fish spawning and rearing habitat, releases to mimic natural flows that existed prior to regulated flows from the dam, and downstream flows to improve river flood plain connectivity to restore riparian and off channel habitats to the extent possible. The Sustainable Rivers Program explores federal projects for opportunities to promote environmental benefits through operations. A proposal for Pipestem Reservoir was accepted, and the scope includes water quality sampling, an update to the water quality model and stakeholder meetings to gauge interests and opportunities at Pipestem and along the James River. #OmahaUSACE #BuildingStrong #Essayons
