The proposed Lake Darling flood control project (authorized by the 1982 Energy and Water Development Act) consists of an approximately 4-foot raise of Lake Darling plus associated upstream and downstream flood control measures, including those at Velva, North Dakota. This programmatic EIS covers all project features. In addition, a site-specific EIS for the Velva portion of the project follows this programmatic EIS. A site-specific EIS for the Lake Darling features will be released later.

The proposed Lake Darling flood control project, authorized by the 1982 Energy and Water Development Act, consists of an approximate 4-foot raise of Lake Darling and associated upstream and downstream flood control measures, including Velva, North Dakota. This programmatic EIS covers all project features. In the St. Paul District has been investigating flood control alternatives for the Souris River since 1963. A channel modification project in Minot was authorized in 1970 and construction is now complete. Construction of Burlington Dam was authorized in 1970. The 1982 legislation prohibits the Corps from doing further work unless directed by Congress. Most of the flood control features currently under evaluation were also features of the Burlington Dam project. The dam itself and the Des Lacs tunnel diversion structure are not part of the proposed project.

The Lake Darling project is the second phase of the total flood control plan for the Souris Valley in North Dakota. The completed Minot channel project and the existing Lake Darling Dam provide a channel capacity of 5,000 cfs, or protection against a 15-year flood. Four floods in the last 15 years have exceeded the 5,000 cfs capacity. The Lake Darling Dam has been identified as a high hazard dam because of its location above Minot. Known problems of the structure include inadequate spillway capacity and embankment slopes. (Author).
