December 31, 1981

Introduction

The Narrows Unit was originally authorized as a unit of the

Missouri River Basin Project (now the pick-Sloan Missouri Basin

Program) by the Flood Control Acts of 1944, 1946 and 1950.

Public Law 88-442, approved August 14, 1964, subsequently

required that all Missouri River Basin Projects not under

construction at that time he reauthorized by an Act of Congress.

Accordingly, a feasibility report was published in January, 1967,

and approved by the Secretary of the Interior in September,

1967. This report was transmitted to Congress in May, 1968.

Following Congressional hearings, the Narrows Unit was authorized

for construction and operation by Public Law 91-389, August 28,

1970.
