The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning a public meeting later this month to discuss updating the manuals which guide the operation of Kanopolis and Wilson dams.
According to the Corps, the event will be on Jan. 29th in Ellsworth.
The public is encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more about how USACE uses the Water Control Manuals at each of its reservoirs, how updates to the manuals will be accomplished and to provide their input to the technical team. USACE is interested in what physical, social and environmental changes the community has observed around the reservoirs and below the dams since the projects were built.
