CORPS OF ENGINEERS
MINIMUM FLOW
Representatives from the Corps of Engineers met with the Commission to discuss
the continued process for Minimum Flow. Mike Biggs indicated that the allocated uses
for the lakes from the Corps perspective were Flood Control, Hydro Power, Fish &
Wildlife, Water Supply and Recreational. And when working towards the minimum flow
issue, the Corps has to look at the National Economic Development Plan and determine
the value of the impact to that area.
Mr. Biggs noted that from the 2004 report only the Norfork and Bull Shoals
Lakes were chosen, so they were present to speak about the roads that the Corps
identified as areas of concern.
Mr. Biggs pointed out that Slough Hollow, Beaver Creek and River Run were
areas that they took a look at. Data from 1942 through 2002 was reviewed for daily
levels the lakes were at, as well as looking at seasonal and annual reviews. They then ran
the minimum flow scenarios to compare information at the 660 level which revealed only
a 15% change. Mr. Biggs stated that River Run is still usable at the 660 level; the
average change on a typical day is only 2 feet.
Mr. Biggs added that Slough Hollow would have to be fixed prior to minimum
flow being implemented and would be the responsibility of the Fish & Wildlife. It is
estimated that Slough Hollow would cost 1.5 million and that the Fish & Wildlife will
either go in and take on the project themselves or should the county wish, they would
issue a one time lump sum payment and the county perform the work.
Mr. Biggs noted that the County will be receiving copies of the new report by the
1 of August for a chance to review prior to going public on the 8th of August.
