    The image shows a large concrete dam structure with multiple spillway gates arranged in a curved arc formation. The dam appears to be a gravity-type or ogee spillway dam photographed during dry or low-water conditions, with the downstream apron largely exposed. The surrounding landscape features dry grassland vegetation and bare deciduous trees, suggesting late autumn or winter conditions.

    Garrison Dam, in North Dakota, saw unprecedented releases through its structure during the Missouri River flood in 2011. The St. Louis District’s rope access inspection team was called upon to inspect it’s 28 tainter gates, plus the gates on the five other dams on the Missouri River - 95 gates total. Teams from Philadelphia and New England districts were called in to complete this task in the short timeline needed by the Northwestern Division.
