Design and Cost Estimates for a Connecting Channel between East Devils Lake and West Stump Lake, Devils Lake Basin, North Dakota

Abstract

The water surface elevations of the Devils Lake chain of lakes have been rising over the past several decades. Several alternatives are being considered to alleviate the rising lake levels which are approaching levels where potential for significant damage to adjacent property exits. A connecting channel approximately 10 miles long from East Devils Lake to West Stump Lake, which is an important segment of several different alternatives for an outlet channel for the Devils Lake chain of lakes, is the subject of this report. Preliminary design for thirteen alternative connecting channel cases have been developed. The preliminary designs are the basis for the generation of cost estimated for each of the 13 cases.
