Army Engineers Hear Unified No to Lower Missouri Dams
At a Wolf Point hearing the Army Corps of Engineers heard over 50 witnesses oppose any water storage dam on the Missouri River below Fort Peck. Opponents from Roosevelt County urged erosion control and small watershed work, while the Landowners Protective Association led the opposition to dam construction. The Corps will study the 180 mile river section east of Fort Peck after hearings conclude.
