GDU Import to Sheyenne River Alternative:

Garrison Diversion Unit Import to Sheyenne River Alternative:
This alternative would use a combination of the Red River, other North Dakota in-basin sources, and Missouri River water to meet future water demands. The principal feature of this option would be a pipeline from the McClusky Canal to Lake Ashtabula that would release treated Missouri River water into the Sheyenne River. The pipe would be sized so peak day demands could be met by Lake Ashtabula releases. The option would include a biota water treatment plant at the McClusky Canal and a pipeline to serve industrial water demands in southeastern North Dakota. The biota treatment process would use coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and ultraviolet disinfection.
