The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is hosting a public open house event today to seek input on the Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual Feasibility Report.
The Integrated Environmental Assessment describes the alternatives considered and makes a recommendation on revisions to the manual, which includes the water control plans for Saylorville Lake and Lake Red Rock. Proposed updates will be discussed during the meetings and staff will be on hand to answer questions and discuss comments. The open house will be held at the Central College Graham Annex Building from 3 – 7 p.m. on Wednesday, with presentations at 3:15 and 5:30 p.m.
