CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) The operating plan at Bald Hill Dam may have to be revised according to the top official with the U-S Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District.

Major General John Peabody says the plan is decades old and doesn’t take into account Devils Lake and the new Tolna Coulee control structure dedicated in Nelson County last week.

Peabody says the control structure is one more tool of protection for downstream residents nervous about the lake rising to the breakout level of 1458 feet.

The lake reached a record elevation 1454 feet last year before backing off to slightly below 1453 feet as of July 19.
