Gavins Point Dam
(KLZA)-- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is boosting releases from Gavins Point Dam and other mainstream Missouri River dams to prepare its reservoirs for the upcoming runoff season.
The release rate at Gavins Point Dam will increase from 17,000 cubic feet per second to 24,000 cubic feet per second this month. The release rate may be adjusted at Gavins Point and other dams in the Missouri River system later this winter based on ice conditions.
Runoff in December was 155-percent of normal because of the warm weather conditions prohibiting the formation of ice.
