The proposed project includes the construction of an earth-fill dam across the Wild Rice River upstream from Twin Valley, Minnesota. The project would convert a 7-mile reach of the Wild Rice River from a free-flowing stream to a reservoir-type environment. A permanent recreation and silt storage pool of about 540 acres would be created. An additional 1,100 acres of flood pool would be allocated for floodwater storage. The total project area acquired in fee would be approximately 3,500 acres. Additional information regarding project features can be found in the Final Environmental Impact Statement dated February, 1975, and Design Memorandum No. 2 (Phase 1) dated February, 1975.
