Omaha, NE (USACE)— The U.S Army Corps of Engineers has announced planned release changes at Jamestown and Pipestem Dams.
On Friday, Pipestem Reservoir was currently at pool elevation 1442.4 feet with approximately 20 cubic feet per second (cfs) inflow and a water quality release of about 5 cfs. Jamestown Reservoir was at pool elevation 1429.8 feet with approximately 5 cfs inflow and no release. All of the flood storage at Jamestown and Pipestem Reservoirs is currently available for the spring runoff.
During the spring snowmelt emphasis will be placed on evacuating Jamestown Reservoir flood storage by June 1. Pipestem Reservoir flood storage will be primarily evacuated in June, July, and August. Current forecasts indicate that combined releases are expected to stay below 750 cfs; however, additional snow accumulation or significant spring or summer rainfall could necessitate release levels of 1,200 cfs or higher. An agency meeting will be held in Jamestown, N.D. in early April and a release schedule will be developed after that meeting.
The National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center’s (NOHRSC) model currently shows an average of 2-3 inches of snow water equivalent (SWE) in the upper James River and Pipestem Creek basins. These estimates are down from the peak modeled SWE values averaging between 3-4 inches. Soils are still frozen in the upper basin, and soil moisture conditions are currently drier than normal.

ALEXANDER, N.D. (AP) — Authorities have identified an 89-year-old man who was killed after he was pinned between a livestock trailer and a fence post in northwestern North Dakota. The North Dakota Highway Patrol says Arne Skedsvold was taken to a Montana hospital, where he died because of injuries from the accident. Officials say a 33-year-old man was backing up a tractor and trailer to a fence to load cattle Friday morning.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota lawmakers are setting procedures for handling reports of sexual harassment in the Capitol, but it’s a process that will take some time.
State policy already says sexual harassment won’t be tolerated, but there’s no process for handling complaints. A new proposed policy crafts such a process.
Members of the Legislative Procedure and Arrangements Committee discussed numerous concerns and potential problems with the proposal at a recent meeting. They’ll continue fine-tuning it in June.
Others are watching the process. Media attorney Jack McDonald says public access to investigation information might be an issue.
Janelle Moos is a registered lobbyist and head of a nonprofit that represents domestic violence and sexual assault crisis intervention centers. She says the proposed policy is “a good first step” but needs work.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — The city of Mandan is considering using some of its vacant spaces for an entertainment district dubbed “The Railyard.”
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the city purchased the former Central Market and Thrifty White Drug properties for $1.5 million last summer with a grant from the Mandan Supplemental Environmental Projects Trust.
The city commission hasn’t yet approved plans for the project, but says it’s open to suggestions for the redevelopment.
ICON Architectural Group’s has proposed splitting the former grocery store into a modern library and an event hall with potential for shared conference space and restrooms.
Mandan officials intend to vacate the Morton Mandan Public Library’s current freight house location and move it to occupy the east portion of the former Central Market building. The library’s board of trustees is determining if the space fits their needs.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge has set a Monday deadline for environmental group Earth First to explain what he says appears to be discrepancies in its argument that it can’t be sued for opposing the Dakota Access oil pipeline.
Pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners last August sued Earth First, Greenpeace and BankTrack for up to $1 billion, alleging the groups worked to undermine the $3.8 billion project.
The Center for Constitutional Rights maintains Earth First is an unstructured social movement or philosophy, similar to Black Lives Matter, and thus that can’t be sued.
But U.S. District Judge Billy Roy Wilson says Earth First has been a listed plaintiff in three other federal lawsuits. He says that if Earth First can sue, it seems to him that it’s also subject to being sued.
