The US Army Corps of Engineers regulates flows on the Chena River during flood events through the Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project immediately upstream of the Moose Creek Dam stream gage. The flood control project was authorized with an established flood control regulation of 12,000 cfs through the city of Fairbanks. Current operating thresholds for the project are between 8,000 cfs and 8,500 cfs depending upon the forecast meteorological conditions. Some low lying areas downstream from the project may experience minor flooding during a normal flood control operation.
