The ENDAWS Draft Environmental Impact Statement examines the use of existing Garrison Diversion Unit facilities to meet contemporary needs in the state. This project will evaluate a bulk water supply to deliver an alternate water supply to the State of North Dakota’s Red River Valley Water Supply Project. The proposed action includes construction of ENDAWS project features, issuance of a water repayment contract for Garrison Diversion Unit facilities, and issuance of permits to construct and maintain ENDAWS facilities on Reclamation rights-of-way.
