Higher Burlington Dam Would Double Reservoir Capacity
Army engineers plan raising the John Redmond dam at Burlington by seven feet, nearly doubling flood control and conservation storage. Col. John D. Bristol said the expanded project is feasible but awaits Washington approval. The larger dam would be 86 feet high, about four miles long, with a flood pool around 600 000 acre feet and a conservation pool near 6 000 acres, benefiting downstream to the Arkansas river and attracting a projected one million visitors yearly. Construction could start spring 1960 with completion planning in progress and potential relocations for Strawn, Hartford, roads, and cemeteries under consideration.
