  • System preparations for 2019 runoff season continue

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues to prepare the Missouri River Mainstem System for the 2019 runoff season. Current Gavins Point releases are 20,000 cubic feet per second. Gavins Point releases will be increased to 24,000 cfs this week. “The higher-than-average winter releases from Gavins Point will continue the evacuation of the stored flood waters from the 2018 runoff season,” said John Remus, Chief of the Corps’ Missouri River Basin Water Management Division. “These releases will provide additional hydropower generation during the winter, which is one of the peak power demand periods. In addition, the higher-than-average releases will benefit municipal and industrial water intakes below Gavins Point Dam, which can be impacted by low water levels during periods of ice formation,” added Remus. Gavins Point Dam winter releases normally range between 12,000 and 17,000 cfs.
