American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 Section 110 Compliance Report for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, NHPA, Cultural Resources Investigations, Technical Report No. 26, Geographic Information Systems and Bank-Recession Modeling along the Missouri River Reservoir System

Between July 20 and September 3, 2010, Statistical Research, Inc. (SRI), conducted geomorphic investigations of a sample of reservoir banks located on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) fee-title land around three reservoirs administered by the USACE, Omaha District (NWO): Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota, Lake Oahe in North and South Dakota, and Lake Francis Case in South Dakota.
SRI investigated a total of 105 field stations in order to develop field data in support of operationalizing in a geographic information system (GIS) an existing geomorphic model for predicting bank recession. As requested, the model variables and equations were operationalized in a GIS and evaluated for each of the three lakes by SRI and their subcontractor Miratek Corporation.
