PAUL, MN – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reducing outflows into the Sheyenne River at Baldhill Dam northwest of Valley City to around 50 cubic feet per second beginning Friday, August 7.

Outflows are being reduced in order to perform gauge maintenance and pipeline infrastructure maintenance downstream of Baldhill Dam.

Corps staff lowered Lake Ashtabula water levels to elevation 1,265.4 feet in order to store the water. The pool is expected to climb to an elevation near 1,266.3 feet during this time.

Baldhill Dam Resource Manager Rich Schueneman said the staff plans to resume normal outflows of 800 cfs by August 12.
