The Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project is the most northern flood risk mitigation operation within the Corps and is responsible for protecting Fairbanks, North Pole and Fort Wainwright from high-water on the Chena River. The key components of the project includes Moose Creek Dam, an eight-mile-long earthen dam, four large flood gates and a 3,000 acre grassy floodway. Since its completion, the dam has been operated successfully 22 times most recently in the summer of 2014.
