Orwell ROPE (Reservoir Operation Plan Evaluation). Problem Appraisal Report.
Abstract
This problem appraisal report summarizes the problem identification information gathered during the initial stages of the St. Paul District Corps of Engineers Orwell Reservoir Operation Plan Evaluation (ROPE). Significant concerns were gathered through public involvement and inhouse experiences with the project. Concerns about flood control, summer low flows on the Otter Tail and Red Rivers, sedimentation, fish and wildlife, recreation, shoreline erosion, hydropower, and cultural resources will be addressed in the remaining activities. Long-term water supply and water quality problems for the Red River basin are outside the scope of this study and will not be considered further in the Orwell ROPE. This problem appraisal report recommends that the Orwell ROPE be completed as described in this report. The draft ROPE report is scheduled to be completed in September 1985, and the update of the reservoir regulation manual is tentatively scheduled to be completed by the St. Paul District's Hydrology Section in fiscal year 1987.
