RIVERDALE, N.D. (AP) — Army Corps of Engineers officials have been busy in recent days inspecting the emergency spillway at Garrison Dam on the Missouri River in North Dakota.
The corps opened the spillway gates for the first time in the dam’s half-century history last summer due to the flooding Missouri River.
The river has since receded, and corps project manager Todd Lindquist told the Minot Daily News that crews are doing follow-up inspection and maintenance. The dam itself underwent inspection earlier. Lindquist said no significant problems have been found.
