President Joe Biden’s proposed budget for the Army’s Civil Works program for Fiscal Year 2025 was released Monday and provides $280 million in federal funding to advance the Rough River Dam Safety Modification Project in Falls of Rough, according to a press release from the US Army Corps of Engineers.

If given final approval, the funds will be used to initiate Phase 2 of the project, which includes the construction of a new outlet works and a full-depth cutoff wall across the dam.
