Once a full review has taken place and all revisions are made, the revisions will be presented to the full board for approval. Vice Chairman - - Vice Chairman Walter, who chairs the Contract Review Committee, said that the committee last met on January 19. Legal counsel is researching and preparing additional information that was requested by the committee regarding liability issues. Once that information is compiled, the committee will meet to discuss the results. The committee should then be able to present its findings to the board, and the contract review process should be complete. Vice Chairman Walter also reported on the Family Farm Alliance’s annual meeting he recently attended in Reno. Trip Reports - - Directors D. Anderson, Haak and Tweed reported on the Family Farm Alliance’s annual meeting they attended in February and the key issues they took away from the meeting. Public Relations Committee - - Director Marquart, Chairperson, Public Relations Committee, provided a summary from this morning’s committee meeting. At that time, the committee reviewed various Garrison Diversion communication activities and projects. Red River Valley Committee - - Director J. Anderson, who chairs the Red River Valley Committee reported on activities and meetings taking place in regard to the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP). MCCLUSKY CANAL UPDATE O&M Update Kip Kovar, District Engineer, gave an update on operation and maintenance (O&M) related issues, including a report on recent summer hires and other job openings. Pre-Slide Repair Construction Agreement Mr. Kovar said the Pre-Slide Repair Construction Agreement, which allows for the purchase of equipment and negotiations with landowners has been extended until September 30, 2018. Five-Year Slide Repair Agreement Mr. Kovar stated that the Five-Year Slide Repair Agreement was submitted to the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) last year. They approved task one in the work plan and approximately $7 million of the $15 million budget. The other items have not yet been approved. This allows for the O&M crews to start moving dirt, but does not approve work on surface water drainage. Current Five-Year O&M Agreement Mr. Kovar reported that the current Five-Year O&M Agreement expired December 31, 2017. It has also been extended until September; however, no funding was added at that time.
18-73 This means that Garrison Diversion will need to transfer General Fund dollars into the O&M Fund to pay for expenses. Draft Five-Year O&M Agreement Mr. Kovar commented that the Draft Five-Year O&M Agreement has been submitted, and it is going through Reclamation’s review process.
Irrigation Update Irrigation Summary Mr. Kovar referred to and reviewed the table listing irrigation projects located along the McClusky Canal as well as the amount of acres irrigated and producer names for each project. There are currently a total of 7,241 irrigated acres. Another 4,500 acres are being irrigated at the Oakes Test Area (OTA). Resolution Creating Fund for Irrigation Improvement District No. 2018-1 Mr. Kovar reminded the board of the action taken at the January board meeting creating improvement districts for MM42L and MM42R and approving the engineer reports. This is required in order for irrigators to use special assessment authority. The Executive Committee then approved the order for each project, as well as the application for Clean Water Act funding and ratified the assessment lists. They also approved awarding the construction and power contracts for MM42L. Mr. Kovar said today the board is being asked to approve creating a fund for Irrigation Improvement District No. 2018-1 (MM42L) and authorize issuance of an improvement bond. Work is being done with the Public Finance Agency and the State Department of Health on these two issues in order to access the State Revolving Loan Fund for irrigation projects. Interest on these funds is one and a half percent plus 0.5 percent for administration for a term of up to 30 years. Garrison Diversion has been approved for $5 million in funding for irrigation projects. The amount approved for this particular project is $900,000. Motion by Director Hanretty to approve the resolution creating a fund for Irrigation Improvement District No. 2018-1 (MM42L) and authorize issuance of an improvement bond. Second by Director Klosterman. Upon roll call vote, the following directors voted aye: D. Anderson, J. Anderson, R. Anderson, Bischoff, Boote, Breker, Cayko, Cook, Fenstad, Haak, Hanretty, Johnson, Kaiser, Klein, Klosterman, Koeser, Krivarchka, Krueger, Marquart, Metzger, Ongstad, Pellman, Peyerl, Rogers, Royse, Tweed and Walter. Those voting nay: none. Absent and not voting: Vein. Motion carried. A copy of the resolution is attached to these minutes as Annex V. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION REPORT Arden Freitag, Area Manager, Bureau of Reclamation, provided highlights from Reclamation’s quarterly written report, a copy which is attached to these minutes as Annex VI.
18-74 Budget - - Mr. Freitag reported that the 2018 Reclamation-wide MR&I budget was increased to $163 million and $66.5 million was added for 2017 Reclamation-wide. This needs to be allocated among the authorized projects. Congress is allowing 45 days to report back on the allocation. He anticipates this will happen sometime in May.
Mr. Freitag added, prior to getting any additional money, there is $9.6 million in the budget for FY2018 for Garrison Diversion Unit (GDU) rural water projects. The amount allocated for the GDU in FY2019 is $4.98 million. NAWS - - Manitoba and Missouri appealed the NAWS lawsuit, and Manitoba has proposed a settlement agreement. Reclamation was not in agreement with this and has proposed entering into a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an adaptive management plan. Mr. Freitag added that work is proceeding on the Biota Water Treatment Plant design. Central North Dakota EA - - Reclamation submitted a revised draft Environmental Assessment (EA) on Central North Dakota for review to Garrison Diversion on March 20, with comments due back to Reclamation by March 30. Comments are being incorporated, and a revised draft will be released for a second public comment period in the next couple of weeks. Cooperative Agreements - - Mr. Freitag provided Reclamation’s status update on the cooperative agreements between Reclamation and Garrison Diversion. Mr. Freitag informed the board that a trip is being planned for the regional grants officer to tour the GDU facilities in June to get a better understanding of the project. A tour is also being planned for the new regional director, Mike Black, for the end of June. Snake Creek Embankment - - Mr. Freitag commented on the Corps of Engineers proposal to impose operating level restrictions at Lake Audubon to alleviate concerns with seepage, stating that Reclamation has been visiting with the Corps of Engineers regarding potential studies to repair the embankment and eliminate the restrictions. The Corps was receptive to that, and they have a couple of different proposals they are floating to their management staff preceding the studies. It looks like their EA on the operating restrictions and the water control plan update will come up for public comment in the next month or two with a public meeting to follow. The Corps also indicated that they would like to have a meeting with the agencies, including Garrison Diversion, prior to that to discuss the studies. MR&I PROGRAM Construction Report - - Secretary DeKrey referred to the MR&I construction report dated March 31, 2018. MR&I expenditures in 2018 total $813,123. A copy of the report is attached to these minutes as Annex VII. Secretary DeKrey reported that a letter was received from the City of Carrington, stating they were not going to proceed with the city’s water tower so that will free up $1.9 million that was allocated to Carrington. He has visited with the State Water Commission, Reclamation and the ND Rural Water Systems Association, and it was agreed to hold these funds in reserve until needed.
18-75 GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT Secretary DeKrey reported on the Red River Basin Commission’s annual meeting that he attended in January. Office Space Secretary DeKrey said at the direction of the officers and chairman of the Red River Valley Committee, he has been in contact with the president of the CrossRoads Golf Course regarding the possibility of renting the former Farm Credit Services building. Once funding and construction picks up on the RRVWSP, additional office space will be needed. He has made an offer on a rental price of $2,800 per month for one year, which the golf club counter offered in the amount of $3,250 per month. Garrison Diversion would also like an option to renew the lease or purchase the building when the lease expires. He asked the board for their approval to continue negotiations and execute a rental agreement.

He added that he, Merri Mooridian and Kip Kovar will meet with Mr. Knutson to discuss how to proceed next week while in Washington, DC, for the NWRA conference. The board recessed at 4 p.m. and reconvened on April 6 at 8:30 a.m.
18-76 GDU LITIGATION HISTORY Tami Norgard, Vogel Law Firm, provided a broad outline on the history of the Garrison Diversion Project regarding NEPA and how the courts have been involved in the Project over the years. It is important, as the RRVWSP is being planned without a federal nexus, to have an understanding of the Project’s legal history. RED RIVER VALLEY WATER SUPPLY PROJECT Central North Dakota EA - - Mr. Kovar commented on the Central North Dakota EA, stating that Garrison Diversion has reviewed the draft EA and submitted comments to Reclamation. He expects there will be a request to extend the comment period from either Canada or Missouri. Presentation on Preliminary Design Report - - Mr. Kovar provided a PowerPoint presentation on the RRVWSP Preliminary Design Report (PDR), which summarizes the preliminary design activities and decisions for the RRVWSP by expanding upon the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) that was completed in January. Paul Boersma, Black & Veatch, commented that this board was previously presented with a Conceptual Engineering Report, which provided context for the PDR. The PDR was presented to the LAWA TAC for comments, which have been addressed and incorporated into the report. The PDR will be finalized in the next few weeks. Individual portions of the PDR will now be moved to a more high level of detail for design. Mr. Boersma said preliminary design is really the culmination of the last two and a half years of work and sets, in a fair amount of specificity, the scope and the cost of the project. Upper Sheyenne River Analysis - - Mr. Kovar gave an update on the Upper Sheyenne River Analysis, reminding the board that the state engineer had requested the feasibility, including the costs, be evaluated for an alternative discharge location about 190 river miles farther north and west of Lake Ashtabula. As a result of the analysis, a draft technical memorandum has been prepared. The next step is to meet with the City of Devils Lake to review the memo. Work Plan Update - - Mr. Kovar referred to the RRVWSP Work Plan Update dated February 26 and reviewed the approved task orders. A copy of the update is attached to these minutes as Annex IX. Task Orders Missouri River Intake Mr. Kovar presented and reviewed the Missouri River Intake Preliminary Design Task Order. This task order is for preliminary design of the Missouri River Intake (MRI) and Missouri River Intake Pumping Station (MRIPS) portion of the RRVWSP. It also includes the final design of the pumping station wet well and access road. The intake and pumping station will be located approximately six miles southeast of Washburn on the eastern bank of the Missouri River. The cost of the task order is $1,985,000.
18-77 Motion by Director Fenstad to approve the Intake Preliminary Design Task Order in the amount of $1,985,000. Second by Director Bischoff. Upon roll call vote, the following directors voted aye: D. Anderson, J. Anderson, R.

Those voting nay: none. Absent and not voting: Boote. Motion carried. Unmanned Aircraft Services Mr. Kovar also presented the Unmanned Aircraft Services Task Order. The objective of this task order is to provide supportive visuals through oblique view videos that can be reviewed by multiple parties in order to gain a better understanding of areas and corridors. Specifically, the videos will provide a great perspective of trees, highline poles, steep topographic relief, farmsteads, and crossing of wetlands, rivers, railroads, and roads. This will prove valuable when doing detailed design work. The oblique view videos will be incorporated into a GIS interface allowing project team members to view the videos while simultaneously being able to view the spatial location of the video on top of design layers in the GIS. The cost of the task order is $71,343. Motion by Director Metzger to approve the Unmanned Aircraft Services Task Order in the amount of $71,343. Second by Director Cayko.

User Commitment Round 2 Merri Mooridian, Administrative Officer, Garrison Diversion, presented the task order for round two of the user commitment meetings, stating that a new round of meetings is required for each of the current 35 participants to provide them updated information, which is the precursor to the participants signing a Participation Agreement and Water Use Contract. This task order provides funding for support at those meetings. Meetings are expected to begin this summer and end in the fall. This task order also includes overall project management and development of a status list showing the progress with each user and any issues associated with that user. The overall objective is to keep the project on schedule and on budget given the scope and timeline of the assignment. The anticipated cost of this task order is $400,000.

NAWS On January 31, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals issued an order putting the Province of
Manitoba and the State of Missouri appeals on hold for 90 days pending settlement
negotiations. This order also revised the briefing schedule to account for the 90 day stay
which pushes the final briefs out until mid-July 2018. Manitoba initiated the settlement
discussions; however, the State of Missouri is not interested in joining in the discussion.
On February 14, 2018, the Province of Manitoba provided a settlement proposal for
consideration. DKAO is working with the Department of Justice, solicitor’s office and GP
Region to review the proposal and prepare a response. We are also in communication with
the State of North Dakota and their legal counsel regarding this proposal.
Reclamation, GDCD and the State Water Commission have formed a design team to oversee
the design of the Biota WTP which will be located near Max, ND. Reclamation will also
establish an Adaptive Management Team. This includes identifying stakeholders, entering
into a Memorandum of Understanding with each stakeholder and eventually identifying the
objectives and goals for the Adaptive Management Plan. Reclamation will also provide
continual oversight of other environmental commitments made in the FSEIS released in
2015.

BUREAU OF RECLAMATION: APRIL 2018
Central North Dakota Water Supply Environmental Assessment Garrison Diversion requested a water service contract and project pumping power to
withdraw up to 20 cubic feet per second of water from the McClusky Canal, at Mile Marker
42, to serve areas of Stutsman Rural Water District/Jamestown, Central Plains Water District,
Tuttle, and potentially other communities within the Missouri River Basin.
A draft Environmental Assessment was completed by Reclamation. Public notices were
published in the McClusky Gazette, Bismarck Tribune, and Jamestown Sun on the release of
the draft EA and comments were due September 22, 2017. Seven agency responses were
received and no private party responses were received. Missouri Department of Natural
Resources sent a letter dated September 19, 2017, that requested a 30-day extension to
review the draft EA. Reclamation granted an additional 15 days for public review, which
ended October 7, 2017. Reponses were received from Global Affairs Canada, Manitoba
Sustainable Development, Missouri DNR, and the Coalition to Protect the Missouri River
that requested clarification on several items. Reclamation submitted a revised draft EA for
review to Garrison Diversion March 20, 2018 with comments due back to Reclamation
March 30, 2018.
South Central Regional Water District Contract 2015-1, North Logan and Kidder Country Rural Distribution Project – This
project was awarded to Swanberg Construction Inc., of Valley City, North Dakota, in the
amount of $8,945,685.50. The work reached substantial completion on December 20,
2017. The contractor has some minor work activities yet to complete.
Contract 2015-1A, Kidder County Rural Distribution System – On June 20, 2017, this
project was awarded to Northern Improvement Company, Inc., of Fargo, North Dakota in the amount
of $2,667,667.00. The project consists of furnishing and installing approximately 80 miles of 6-inch
through 1½ -inch PVC gasketed joint pipe, 135 services, road crossings, connections to existing

The Substantial Completion date is June 1, 2018. As of the March 2018, the project is in winter
shutdown. There is about 6 to 7 miles of pipe yet to be installed and some additional users.
Southwest Pipeline Project Contract 1-2A, Supplementary Raw Water Intake – This contract was awarded to James
W. Fowler Company of Dallas, Oregon, in the amount of $12,994,000. The contractor has
completed the installation of the caisson shaft. Tunneling operation for the intake pipeline
began on July 15, 2015. Tunneling operations were halted in early November 2015, due to a
failure within the tunneling section. The Fowler recovery plan consisted of stabilizing the
existing pipe to stop the inflow of sand and water into the pipe and caisson, replacement of a
concrete plug in the bottom of the caisson shaft and tunneling with a new microtunnel boring
machine. The new pipe alignment was rotated 7 degrees east and located 12 feet above the
abandoned pipe. The contractor started tunneling operations again in July 2017 (second
tunneling attempt). On October 10, 2017, cracks were noticed in pipe No. 58. A report
prepared by Fowler’s tunneling consultant concluded that the ground between pipes 57 and
63 had moved down and is overloading the pipes. Fowler has advised that the pipe string
cannot be advanced any further and an alternate plan will be required to complete the intake
pipe. Fowler is currently working on an option to complete the intake. One option would
BUREAU OF RECLAMATION: APRIL 2018
include the construction of a shoreline shaft that would intercept the existing tunnel and then
launch a new Micro-tunnel boring machine to complete the intake tunnel.

Other State Municipal Rural and Industrial Projects
DKAO entered into a new Cooperative Agreement with Garrison Diversion in September
2017. In December 2017 a modification to this agreement was issued which added the
construction of the Burlington, Rugby and Wahpeton projects to the list of approved
construction activities. Garrison has requested several other projects be approved for
construction and provided the necessary documentation. DKAO has submitted these
requests; however, Department of the Interior review of all cooperative agreement
modifications has slowed the progress of issuing the modification. Projects included in the
pending modification are the SWPP Dickinson WTP Residual Handling Facility, Kindred
Water Tower, Casselton Water Tower, SCRWD-Logan County Booster Station, Sherwood
Water Main Improvements, Mohall Water Tower Improvements, NAWS Minot Water
Treatment Plant (WTP) Improvements-Phase II, Westhope Water Main Improvements and
Cass Rural Water User-Leonard Area Water Supply. The pending modification would also
move the McLean-Sheridan Water Resource District-Blue and Brush Lake Expansion project
from the previous agreement into the 2017 agreement. Timing of the Departmental review is
uncertain.
Garrison has also submitted a request to increase in the funding available for design work to
include the NAWS Biota WTP design which is estimated at $5.5 million. DKAO is
preparing a separate modification request for this because it will require more extensive
cost/price review than the other projects included in the pending modification.
BUREAU OF RECLAMATION: APRIL 2018
Substantial progress has been made on the environmental compliance required for several
proposed projects. The majority of the community projects are being evaluated with a
Categorical Exclusion Checklist (CEC) and only one project review remains to be completed
(Glenburn Water Improvements) once the project sponsor provides the necessary information
to DKAO. The Northeast Regional Water District Expansion project, requires an EA and
DKAO initiated public scoping in March.

Standing Rock Irrigation Project The Tribe is working on getting easements to allow for construction of four additional
pivots on their Eagle Irrigation Unit, near Wakpala SD. They are also considering
rehabilitation and expansion of the Porcupine Unit, which was approved but not completed
in 2017. The Tribe has been focusing on using their construction funds to rehabilitate their
existing irrigation rather than expand the acreage. The Tribe rehabilitated their Eagle Unit
pumping plant near Wakpala, South Dakota in 2016 and rehabilitated and relocated the
center pivots in 2017 to increase the irrigated acreage of the Eagle Unit to about 1,000
acres.
Oakes Irrigation Reclamation offered an annual water service contract to Dickey-Sargent Irrigation District
at their March Board meeting. The contract will be the same as prior year contracts,
allowing the District to irrigate up to 5,000 acres.

RRVWSP Work Plan Update March 16, 2018
Goal Spring 2016 Completed Conceptual Design and Cost Estimate Summer 2017 Complete Preliminary Design and Cost Estimate for pipeline and pump
station(s) 2017 - 2018 Complete Phased Final Design and Cost Estimates 2019 - 2027 Phased Bidding and Construction Total draft budget to complete Conceptual, Preliminary and Final designs is $66 million. The ND legislature appropriated $12.359 million for the RRVWSP for the 2015-2017 biennium. The conceptual design phase has been completed; therefore, no further updates will be included in this report. The ND legislature appropriated $30 million for the RRVWSP for the 2017-2019 biennium. Preliminary Design The conceptual design was released in September 2016. The majority of the preliminary design has been completed; of the $10 million cost estimate, approximately $500,000 remains to be expended on the task orders. Moving forward with limited funds, it is cost effective to start project phasing. The Implementation Plan will provide a road map to move forward with items that have to be completed first, which include permit phasing, design phasing, and construction phasing.
Final Design The draft preliminary design is almost complete and was released early October 2017. Moving forward with limited funds, it is cost effective to start project phasing. Priority items to move forward first with final design and construction are discharge structure, trenchless crossings and portions of the intake. 1) Pipeline segment 28 miles – This task order will begin final design on a portion of the RRVWSP and is the first of several pipeline design task orders that will be executed to complete the project. Given the current level of state and local funding allocated for the project’s design and construction, the length of the initial segment selected for final design and preparation of construction contract documents is approximately 28 miles. The general location of the 28-mile pipeline segment is in Foster and Wells Counties. The alignment and limits of the pipeline being designed under this task order are identified on the RRVWSP route overview map. This task order will deliver bid ready documents for this 28-mile segment. Estimated cost is $3,840,000.
Status – The engineering team held a kickoff meeting November 8 starting the final design. The team was in the field reviewing alignment and working with the geotechnical boring team. Letters have been sent to utility companies asking for facility locations and details where crossings might occur.
2) Geotechnical – This task order will allow engineers to drill supplemental borings along the Preliminary Design Report (PDR) pipeline alignment and discharge site and to complete
2
laboratory testing of soil samples collected. These supplemental borings are necessary to characterize subsurface soil conditions not covered by the 2008 investigation. Relevant existing soils data from the 2008 investigation will be used to the maximum extent practical to support activities. Estimated cost is $544,000.
Status – Letters to landowners informing them of the upcoming geotechnical work were sent October 17, 2017. Work started October 30, 2017. All borings and soil resistivity tests are complete.
3) Sediment Transport Analysis – This task order will provide information as requested by the North Dakota State Water Commission (SWC) to evaluate the Sovereign Lands Permit for the Missouri River intake, as well as support the overall design of the intake screens. Estimated cost is $396,000.
Status – All field work was completed prior to the river freezing. A request was made to USACE for a river analysis model HEC-RAS.
4) Trenchless Crossings – This task order is for final design of tunneled or trenchless crossings in the first 28-mile section of pipeline selected for final design. The general outcome of this task order will be the preparation of construction contract documents. Estimated cost is $452,000. 5) Discharge Site Structure – This task order is for final design of the discharge structure. The general outcome of this task order will be the preparation of construction contract documents. Estimated cost is $508,000. 6) Land Services – This task order is for survey support services, easement and option acquisition for RRVWSP parcels. The RRVWSP pipeline is separated into segment 1, 2a and 2b, 3 and 4. Authorization has been approved to move forward with only segment 1. Estimated cost for segment 1 is $556,446.
Financial 1) Financial Modeling/Cost Allocation – Financial costs to the local users of the RRVWSP under various funding methods, project implementation scenarios, and cost-share scenarios will need to be evaluated. Financing strategies will be generated from these scenarios. The task order will assist GDCD in this effort. Estimated cost is $363,800.
Status – The cost allocation model was refined to include a tiered allocation structure, which considers how project users will benefit from the project by assessing water supply needs, as well as access to project water. Feasibility and ability to pay studies are being conducted for roughly ten systems - both large and small systems. This work is in conjunction with the work being completed by Ernst & Young Infrastructure Advisors (EYIA).
2) Municipal Advisor – EYIA was selected through an RFP process to provide municipal advisory services for the RRVWSP. In addition, Springsted will be retained on an as-needed basis for the issuance of bonds and related efforts. These firms have a fiduciary responsibility to GDCD. Estimated cost is $374,835.
3
Status – EYIA is refining a financial model using capital spend rates based on different financing scenarios and construction periods. The financial modeling includes quantified market risks, costs associated with continued project operations, maintenance and renewal for project long-term and recurring replacement assets. EYIA’s work is jointly occurring and being incorporated into modeling being completed by AE2S and Black & Veatch. The models are reviewed by the LAWA Financial Advisory Committee.
Program 1) Program Management – The overall RRVWSP is expected to spend $30 million in the 2017-2019 biennium and potentially $180 million or more the next biennium. The objective of this task order will support the development and maintenance of a variety of program management support tools to help successfully execute the project. The tools and processes are expected to be developed and implemented during this biennium and be ready to support a significantly increased program size in the following biennium. Estimated cost is $491,000.
Status – Program management meeting #1 focused on all aspects of PM, PM #2 focused on the schedule and other meetings were held developing PM tools and gaining knowledge about program delivery models.

March 9, 2018 Arden Freitag Ted Streckfuss US Department of Interior US Army Corps of Engineers Bureau of Reclamation 1616 Capitol Avenue, Suite 9000 304 East Broadway, Suite 110 Omaha, NE 68102 Bismarck, ND 58501
Re: Request for Feasibility Study for Lake Audubon Embankment
Dear Mr. Freitag and Mr. Streckfuss,
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) recently raised a structural concern with the Lake
Audubon Embankment, an earthen berm between Lake Sakakawea and Lake Audubon on which U.S.
Highway 83 lies and provides a valuable transportation corridor from Canada to Texas and shares land with
an adjacent railroad line. The crux of the concern is that there are two gravel lenses under the embankment
that have pressure relief wells that are reportedly not working adequately. The very purpose of the Lake
Audubon Embankment, which is an integral component of the federal facilities of the Garrison Diversion
Unit, was to allow the water in Lake Audubon to remain at a sufficiently high elevation for water to flow into
the McClusky Canal for the federally authorized purposes. The Corps raised a concern that if the water
differential between Lake Audubon and Lake Sakakawea becomes greater than 43 feet, the Corps questions
whether the resulting pressure on the embankment could cause the embankment and roadway to fail,
assuming the pressure relief wells are not adequately working. It is noteworthy that Garrison Diversion
Conservancy District requested the technical information underlying the Corps concern over the pressure
relief wells and found the responsive information to be of insufficient detail to address a concern of a major
roadway failure.
The Corps initiated an Environmental Assessment in June 2017 to identify an interim solution to assuage
their concerns. Rather than seek a permanent solution, the Corps indicates that the only alternative that is
within its current authorization and budget is an operating restriction requiring Lake Audubon to be lowered
or raised in conjunction with Lake Sakakawea's levels, always remaining within 43 feet of each other's water
surface elevation. The proposed operating restriction is not acceptable to North Dakota, since reducing Lake
Audubon too low will not allow water to flow in the McClusky Canal, which is a vital water supply for many
interests. A dry McClusky Canal negatively impacts domestic water supplies, agriculture, industry, livestock,
recreation, fishing, cabin owners, U.S. Fish & Wildlife wetlands, North Dakota Game and Fish management
areas, McLean County interests and stream augmentation. A dry canal would also increase operation and
maintenance significantly, since the canal's clay liner would dry out and crack, leading to more seepage,
landslides, long-term diminished water quality, and fish kills.
Insufficient water in the McClusky Canal could reduce or eliminate water supplied for existing canal-side
irrigation. Farmers and the State have invested heavily in irrigation equipment for high value crops. The
proposed operating restriction adds significant risk that irrigators will be unable to access water at the very

time the water is needed most. North Dakota State University is currently drafting a report summarizing the
regional economic impacts if the ability to irrigate is lost. The regional economies will suffer with family
farms potentially lost. One of the authorized purposes of the Garrison Diversion Unit is irrigation, yet
Garrison Diversion cannot encourage irrigation investment and development given the uncertainty that
would result from the Corps' operational restriction.
New industrial development will be at risk. Last winter, Garrison Diversion requested a water supply
contract for 20 cubic feet per second (cfs) from the McClusky Canal, in part to serve as a future water supply
for industrial development in the Spiritwood area near Jamestown. A few years ago, the State lost an
opportunity to locate a $3 billion CHS nitrogen fertilizer facility in the Spiritwood area, due in part to the lack
of a reliable water supply. The requested 20 cfs water contract from the Bureau of Reclamation is intended to
provide a reliable water supply for additional industrial development in central North Dakota. The Bureau of
Reclamation released an Environmental Assessment on the proposed water contract for 20 cfs in early
August 2017. The Corps' suggested interim measure will make it more difficult to attract water-intensive
businesses like CHS due to the continued uncertainty in the reliability of a water supply.
Garrison Diversion may also request another possible water contract from the McClusky Canal to obtain 165
cfs of water as an option for the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP), which is a municipal,
rural and industrial water delivery system that will provide a supplemental water supply to over 350,000
people. The RRVWSP would save $171 million in construction costs and $3 million to $4 million annually in
operating costs if the McClusky Canal is used as a water source rather than requiring an additional 30 miles of
pipeline and the pumping costs required for the current plan, which obtains water directly from the Missouri
River. As such, the Corps' operating restriction, with potential to limit the ability to access a water supply for
half of the state's population for domestic and industrial uses, causes significant additional expense for
RRVWSP and unacceptable risk for RRVWSP stakeholders.
An interim operating restriction is no solution; it creates a host of other issues. The Corps also acknowledges
that the interim solution will likely continue indefinitely, as there would be little inertia to develop and
establish a permanent solution. It is of the utmost importance to the State that the technical basis for the
Corps' concerns is sound and that we can work together to find a permanent solution.
I understand there is precedent to have a three-party agreement between the State, the Corps and the Bureau
of Reclamation to cost share in the development of a feasibility study that would identify the technical
information underlying the Corps' concern, as well as develop needed permanent solutions. On behalf of the
citizens of North Dakota, I request that we move forward with a cost share agreement for a three-party
feasibility study.
I look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely, Doug Burgum Governor cc: Brenda Burman, Commissioner, Bureau of Reclamation Garrison Diversion Conservancy District
