The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a public open house event Wednesday to seek input on the Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual Feasibility Report.
Chief of the Hydrology Branch for the Rock Island District Kevin Landwehr tells KNIA/KRLS News the Corps has gathered a recommendation on revisions to the manual, which includes the water control plans for Saylorville Lake and Lake Red Rock. Proposed updates were discussed during the meetings and staff was on hand to answer questions and discuss comments. Public comment is being accepted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers until August 17th. Hear more about the latest with the plans for Lake Red Rock on today’s Let’s Talk Pella.
