    The Heart Butte Dam Safety of Dams Modification project aims to address identified seepage issues and potential backward erosion piping beneath the dam structure. Observations since 2013 revealed significant seepage through various paths in the foundation sandstone, requiring a proactive design response. The proposed mitigation strategy involves creating a filter and drainage system, a seepage berm, and implementing jet grouting to effectively divert water flow and reinforce the foundation. Key design components include earthworks, structural repairs, and dewatering systems to ensure dry excavation. Contractor engagement will focus on a two-phase dewatering strategy and construction within two or three seasons, depending on conditions. Cost estimates for the project range from $35 million to $55 million, with procurement processes aimed at open competition. Special conditions include adherence to safety protocols and "Buy American" requirements. The project's timeline indicates a planned solicitation release in June 2026, with construction scheduled to mobilize in Spring 2027. The Bureau of Reclamation is overseeing the initiative, soliciting contractor input to refine project execution strategies. This project underscores the federal commitment to infrastructure safety and environmental protection, ensuring the integrity of the Heart Butte Dam.
