The Company will produce over eight miles of engineered steel water pipe for this water supply project in North Dakota .
VANCOUVER, Wash. , March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Pipe Company (Nasdaq: NWPX), a leading manufacturer of water-related infrastructure including engineered pipeline systems and precast products, has been selected by Garney Construction to manufacture engineered steel water transmission pipe for the latest segment of the Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP) in central and eastern North Dakota ,
The Garrison Diversion Conservancy District and Lake Agassiz Water Authority are co-sponsors of the RRVWSP, which will create a buried pipeline to carry water from the Missouri River near Washburn, ND , along Highway 200 to the Sheyenne River, above Lake Ashtabula. When complete, the RRVWSP will provide an emergency water supply to central and eastern North Dakota during times of water scarcity and drought.
The water will also provide opportunities for industrial development, as a current lack of industrial water supply has driven industries out of North Dakota . Without the pipeline, the state estimates that a 10-year drought similar to the 1930s dust bowl would have a $32 billion economic impact, which would be devastating to the state's communities and industries.
Northwest Pipe Company is manufacturing over 7,500 tons of 72-inch-diameter engineered steel pipeline for the Contract 5B of his project. The pipe, which is being manufactured at the Saginaw, TX facility, will start being delivered to the job site this summer. In addition, the Company is also supplying PermalokÒ steel casing pipe for the intake on the Missouri River.
"The Red River project is a large-scale water program that will effect nearly half of the population of North Dakota . More than 35 cities and rural water systems will benefit from this drought mitigation project," states Scott Montross , President and CEO of Northwest Pipe Company. "We appreciate being part of the team on this massive water infrastructure project that will ensure adequate public water systems and economic stability for North Dakota ."

With the expense of mitigating the effects of climate change becoming more onerous, more than two dozen cities, counties and states are suing more than 40 fossil fuel companies, accusing them of making false and misleading claims about climate change. The lawsuits are modeled after those brought against tobacco companies in the 1990s. Correspondent Ben Tracy looks at a new legal movement taking on the fossil fuel industry.

In a move that could help temper high gasoline prices, President Joe Biden is bringing back leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land -- but the reversal of a 2020 campaign promise has angered climate activists ahead of midterms that will determine Biden's ability to get his agenda through Congress. The administration was set to start selling leases for drilling on public lands -- putting 144,000 acres of lands up for lease in nine states as soon as Monday -- as Biden faces massive pressure to boost oil production in the U.S. amid soaring prices partly from the war in Ukraine, what Biden calls "Putin's price hike."

Between vast almond orchards and dairy pastures in the heart of California’s farm country sits a property being redesigned to look like it did 150 years ago, before levees restricted the flow of rivers that weave across the landscape. The 2,100 acres (1,100 hectares) at the confluence of the Tuolumne and San Joaquin rivers in the state’s Central Valley are being reverted to a floodplain. The Dos Rios Ranch Preserve is California’s largest single floodplain restoration project, part of the nation’s broadest effort to rethink how rivers flow as climate change alters the environment.
