 New bill would set level of Fort Peck - billingsgazette.com
Called the "Fort Peck Lake Protection Act," Rehberg's bill would have a great deal of impact on the entire management of the Missouri River system and would force the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to manage the lake closely so that it didn't hit the 2,226 level.
If Rehberg's bill were to become law, Thursday's outflows through Fort Peck Dam would not have been able to exceed 4,000 cfs, likely having a lack-of-ripple effect on all other dams downstream, including Gavins Point in South Dakota, which supplies the water to support the barge industry on the Lower Missouri River.
On the other hand, a lake level holding at 2,226 on Fort Peck would put all boat ramps in service and provide adequate water for all of the lake's four marinas to be in operation.
