Sen. Cramer Welcomes Dismissal of Missouri's Lawsuit Against the Central North Dakota Water Supply Project

Press Release

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), a Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee member, issued the following statement today on a federal court rejecting a lawsuit brought by the State of Missouri against the Central North Dakota Water Supply Project:

"Missouri's lawsuit was without merit and would have significantly and unnecessarily interrupted North Dakota's water supply efforts in the middle of a serious drought. I am glad it was thrown out and look forward to working with the Bureau of Reclamation and relevant local agencies to advance all of the important North Dakota projects to utilize Missouri River water without the threat of needless litigation."

As an EPW member, Senator Cramer has been working with federal and local leaders at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Garrison Diversion to advance this and other North Dakota water projects.
