		Construction on the $294 million dam project began in 1947 and closure of the embankment occurred in April 1953.
		The reservoir impounded by this dam is Lake Sakakawea.

		Of major concern to the state of North Dakota and the District was the proposed elimination of Lonetree Dam and Reservoir and replacement with the Sykeston Canal.
		Lonetree Dam and Reservoir remained authorized features of the Commission Plan; and construction funds may only be requested after a finding of need by the Secretary and satisfactory consultation with the Government of Canada.
		In connection with the Administration's decision to terminate Garrison Diversion funding in FY 1991, the Secretary established a task group to develop a policy on support for future funding of the authorized project.

		Mainstem dams have eliminated migrational movements of fish, modified the hydrocycle, changed the depositional nature of sediment carried by the Missouri River and its tributaries, all but eliminated the periodic inundation of the flood plain, transformed the configuration of the river channel and associated backwaters, and caused colder summer water temperatures.
		The Garrison reach of the Missouri River extends from Garrison Dam (river mile 1390) to the headwaters of Lake Oahe approximately 75-150 miles downstream depending on the elevation of Lake Oahe.
		For example, maintaining high flows in the Garrison Reach of the river during drought years may deplete cold-water habitat in Lake Sakakawea, thus decimating the major forage base (the rainbow smelt population) in the lake and ultimately, severely impacting this major recreational fishery.

		The impetus for the metamorphosed Garrison Diversion is to deliver water for municipal, residential and industrial use in eastern North Dakota, principally to stabilize Devils Lake and to assure water for growth in the Red River Valley.
		Garrison's early nemesis was its staggering price tag: estimated at $529 million in 1957, when grandiose plans envisioned 6,773 miles of main and lateral canals - more miles than the state's highway system at the time - and eight reservoirs, 656 pumping stations to supply water to 41 towns.

		The long saga of Garrison Diversion is riddled with decades of intrigues and battles, but it might be summarized as awkwardly straddling two conflicting eras: the decline of big water projects followed by the rise of environmental concerns.

		Garrison Dam, a sloped embankment 2½ miles long, is so vast and so much a part of the landscape that Brian Keith Russell didn’t realize he was driving on top of it when he went looking for the subject of his research project.
		Garrison’s big payoff was to be the hydropower and especially the mammoth irrigation projects it enabled: 1,007,000 acres of cropland, mostly far away in northern and eastern North Dakota, that were to be watered by 6,773 miles of canals.
		But after Garrison was completed in 1957, economic and later environmental questions about the feasibility of diverting water for massive irrigation began to surface.

		The increasing water levels eventually floated the ice dam downstream where the whole process was repeated again and again down the Missouri River until it reached thinner ice farther south usually in central or southern South Dakota.
		The Garrison Dam was closed in late 1952 and the threat of ice jam floods were gone forever.
