Flood Control Burlington Dam, Souris River, North Dakota. Final Environment Impact Statement.

Abstract

The proposed plan includes a dam near Burlington, North Dakota, on the Souris River; a raise of Lake Darling Dam; a diversion tunnel to carry flood flows on the Des Lacs River to the Souris River above Burlington Dam; and downstream channel works consisting of levee improvements in developed subdivsion areas between Burlington and Monot, North Dakota; channel modifications through and below Minot and levee improvements at the communities of Sawyer, North Dakota, and Velva, North Dakota. This world provide protection for occupants of the Minot area floodplain of the Souris River floodplain downstream from Minot. Upstream from the reservoir and above Lake Darling Dam, terrestrial vegetation, such as grasslands, wetlands, and bottomland hardwoods would be significantly affected by periods of flood water storage.
