GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK – The feds want to release another surge of Colorado River water through the Grand Canyon sometime in March.

The higher flows -- four times normal -- would be accomplished by releasing more water from Glen Canyon Dam upstream of the canyon. The aim would be to scour sand from the bed of the Colorado and rebuild beaches that support wildlife and are used for camping by rafters.

The Interior Department says bigger sandbars also provide habitat for endangered native fish and will protect archaeological sites.

If environmental reviews of the project are approved as expected and the releases happen, it would be the third time the dam has been opened beyond power-generating capacity. Similar experiments were done in 1996 and 2004.
