Marina fish station at 0900 this morning. After clearing the feed chute, fish carcasses were fed in one at a time and the grinder ate everything.
No problem.
The instructions work!
Easier to interpret than modern boat electronics.
Please take an extra few minutes to help keep our facilities operational for the next person.

Today we are celebrating National Hydropower Day!

For more than 140 years, the USACE Hydropower Program has been providing the nation with ready, reliable and resilient energy. USACE is the largest owner and operator of hydroelectric power plants in the United States, generating more than 25% of the nation’s hydropower and ranking among the nation’s top 10 power producers overall.

USACE directly operates and maintains 356 individual generating units at 75 multi-purpose power-producing projects across five USACE divisions and 16 districts (including here in the Omaha District)!

Along the Missouri River, the water used to produce electricity at Fort Peck Dam in Montana passes through five other powerplants, each producing more electricity on its way to the ocean. This makes hydropower one of the most efficient forms of power generation for use by the people of the Midwest.

Today we celebrate the hard work and dedication of all our USACE employees who maintain and grow this important service to the nation.
