Dunn County and Watford City, North Dakota: A case study of the fiscal effects of Bakken shale development

The Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana has experienced perhaps the greatest effects of increased oil and gas development in the United States, with major implications for local governments. Though development of the Bakken began in the early 2000s, large-scale drilling and population growth dramatically affected the region from roughly 2008 through today. This case study examines the local government fiscal benefits and challenges experienced by Dunn County and Watford City, which lie near the heart of the producing region. For both local governments, the initial growth phase presented major fiscal challenges due to rapidly expanding service demands and insufficient revenue. In the following years, these challenges eased as demand for services slowed due to declining industry activity and state tax policies redirected more funds to localities. Looking forward, both local governments describe their fiscal health as stronger because of the Bakken boom, though higher debt loads and an economy heavily dependent on the volatile oil and gas industry each pose challenges for future fiscal stability.

Methods for Testing Engineering Soils, Iowa Highway Research Board Bulletin no. 21, 1960

This bulletin is a further compilation of the reports on completed research done for the Iowa State Highway Research Board Project HR-1 The loess and glacial till materials of Iowa; an investigation of their physical and chemical properties and techniques for processing them to increase their all-weather stability for road construction. The research, started in 1950, was done by the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station at Iowa State University under its project 283-S. The project was supported by funds from the Iowa State Highway Commission.

Soil Stabilization with Cement, Iowa Highway Research Board Bulletin No. 23, 1961

This is the fourth publication in a series of compilations of the reports on research completed for the Iowa State Highway Commission. This research was done for the Iowa State Highway Research Board Project HR-1. The Loess and Glacial Till Materials of Iowa; an Investigation of Their Physical and Chemical Properties and Techniques for Processing Them to Increase Their All-Weather Stability for Road Construction. The research, started in 1950, was done by the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station under its project 283-S. The project was supported by funds from the Iowa State Highway Commission.

Soil Stabilization with Lime, Iowa Highway Research Board Bulletin No. 25, 1961

This is the fifth publication in a series of compilations of the reports on research completed for the Iowa State Highway Commission. This research was done for the Iowa State Highway Research Board Project HR-1, "The Loess and Glacial Till Materials of Iowa; an Investigation of Their Physical and Chemical Properties and Techniques for Processing Them to Increase Their All-Weather Stability for Road Construction." The research, started in 1950, was done by the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station under its project 283-S. The project was supported by funds from the Iowa State Highway Commission. The principal objectives of the project may be summed up as follows: 1. To determine by means of both field and laboratory studies the areal and stratigraphic variation in the physical and chemical properties of the loess and glacial till materials of Iowa. 2. To develop new equipment and methods for evaluating physical and chemical properties of soil where needed. 3. To correlate fundamental soil properties with the performance of soils in the highway structure. 4. To develop a scientific approach to the problem of soil stabilization based on the relationships between the properties of the soils and those of the admixtures. 5. To determine the manner in which the loess and glacial till materials of Iowa can be processed for optimum performance as highway embankments, sub-grades, base courses, and surface courses.

Iowa Highway Research Report No. 2, 1950-1951

During the fiscal year, July 1, 1950 to June 30, 1951, the Iowa State Highway Commission expanded its research program by adding to the work under way during the previous fiscal year, fifteen substantial projects recommended to the Commission by the Iowa Highway Research Board. The major portion of the projects under way in the previous fiscal year have been active in this fiscal year. All of the additional projects have gotten under way during this fiscal year. This year, as in the past, the work has been performed partly by Commission forces and partly by outside agencies such as the Institute of Hydraulic Research at Iowa City, the State University of Iowa, Iowa State College, the Iowa Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey. The major portion of the fifteen new projects has been assigned to these outside agencies.

Residual Stresses and Fatigue Behavior of Welded Structural Members, HR-94, 1967

A research project entitled "Residual Stresses and Fatigue Behavior of Welded Structural Members" was conducted at the Structural Research Laboratory of the Engineering Research Institute at Iowa State University under the sponsorship of the Iowa State Highway Commission. The objective of the project was to study experimentally the fatigue behavior of flange plates in welded beam sections as influenced by different residual stress distributions which are caused by different sizes of welds.

Study of Alternate Pavement Designs, 1968

This report is submitted pursuant to a contract dated August 30, 1967, between the Iowa State Highway Commission and Howard, Needles, Tammen & Bergendoff, Consulting Engineers, in connection with studies determining (11,A) alternate pavement designs, and (11,B) criteria for geometric design studies. Included herein is that portion of the report covering Paragraph 11,A, comprising preparation of alternate type pavement designs (Portland Cement and Asphaltic Concrete) for the Cedar Valley Freeway and proposed US-518 from 1-80 to US-30. These alternate pavement designs consider quality and availability of aggregates, soil conditions and traffic information, to determine details and dimensions of pavement design. Comparative cost studies were prepared from alternate design data and recommendations as to pavement type are presented for Commission review.
