Lake Frances East Dam History

Project History Since inception, repairs and replacements have been conducted within the system. In 1969, with assistance from the USDA Soil Conservation Service, improvements to intakes, expansion of canal systems and floodwater structures were completed over a five year period. Minimal large scale improvements were completed again until 2002, when the SWUID received a DNRC RRGL Grant, for Phase 1, which improved water delivery for Districts 1 and 2. The NRCS also assisted in development of alternatives and design. From 2006 to 2009 improvements were conducted, primarily with SWUID equipment. A second RRGL Grant was obtained to assist with Phase 2 improvements. In 2009, the SWUID determined to continue improvements to the system and Phase 3 was implemented, which largely had to do with inefficient earth lined canals and seepage issues. |
