Floods are deadly, floods are devastating.
I've witnessed too many floods. I don't think that the Fish and Wildlife Service and the people supporting this only want to flood out people downstream. Bond was defending his drive to prevent the Army Corps of Engineers from changing the river's flow. The corps is finishing a plan to revise its so-called master manual for operating Missouri River dams to comply with the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed that the corps release additional water to the lower Missouri River from the Gavins Point Dam in Yankton, S.D., every third spring and then reduce that flow significantly by mid-July.
