The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, is hosting a public meeting on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, in Jamestown, N.D., to present the Pipestem Reservoir as a location of interest in the Sustainable Rivers Program (SRP).

Pipestem Reservoir has been accepted as part of the SRP, with plans to continue water quality sampling, updating the water quality model, analysis of release alternatives to improve water quality and more. 

The intent of this meeting is to discuss additional potential environmental benefits for the reservoir with local stakeholders. All are welcome, and participants are encouraged to visit and share their thoughts on both current and future operations regarding environmental benefits for the reservoir. 

The meeting will have presentations that cover the history of SRP and its involvement with the Pipestem Reservoir and James River Basin.  There will be stations to talk with subject matter experts on multiple topics in the basin, and a place to leave comments for review.

The event will be held at St. James Basilica in Jamestown, N.D., from 4-8pm on Sept. 17, 2024. For more information on the SRP, please see the links below:
