Corps reducing Baldhill Dam release

St. Paul (CSi) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is reducing outflows into the Sheyenne River at Baldhill Dam, to around 50 cubic feet per second, or CFS, beginning Friday, August 7, 2015.

The Corps says outflows are being reduced in order to perform gage maintenance and pipeline infrastructure maintenance downstream of Baldhill Dam.

Corps staff lowered Lake Ashtabula water levels to elevation 1,265.4 feet in order to store the water. The pool is expected to climb to an elevation near 1,266.3 feet during this time.

Corps staff plan to resume normal outflows of 800 cfs by August 12, 2015.
