This alternative proposes a combination of the Red River, other North Dakota in-basin water, and imported Missouri River water to meet future water demands. The principal feature of the option would be a pipeline from the McClusky Canal to the Fargo and Grand Forks metropolitan areas sized to meet peak day shortages. It would include a biota water treatment plant at the McClusky Canal and a pipeline to serve industrial water demands in southeastern North Dakota. The option would rely on the existing storage and regulation capability of Lake Ashtabula to meet some of the downstream municipal, rural, and industrial water demands. The biota treatment process would use coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and ultraviolet disinfection.
