9-Foot Navigation Channel Project; Channel Maintenance Management Plan, Upper Mississippi River, Head of Navigation to Guttenberg, Iowa


Book Description

The purpose of this Environmental Impact Statement is to analyze the environmental impacts of actions proposed in the Channel Maintenance Management Plan (CMMP) for maintaining a 9-foot navigation channel, along with commercial and small-boat harbors, on the Upper Mississippi River between Guttenberg, Iowa and the head of navigation at Minneapolis, Minnesota. The proposed actions analyzed in this document include dredging; dredged material placement; recreational beach maintenance and development; repair, construction, modification, and/or removal of channel structures; clearing and snagging operations; and future site planning for dredged material placement. Site specific social and economic effects of the CMMP range from slightly negative effects to significantly positive effects.

Improving Channel Reliability and Protecting the Environment: A Balanced Approach at Reads Landing


Book Description

The Upper Mississippi River (UMR) 9-Foot Navigation Channel extends from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to the mouth of the Ohio River at Cairo, Illinois, a distance of 857.6 miles. The St. Paul District of the Corps of engineers is responsible for operation and maintenance of the northernmost 243.6 miles. The states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and a portion of Iowa border this stretch of the river. Channel depth is maintained through a series of locks and dams, channel control structures, and by dredging shoals that build in the navigation channel. The typical towboat and barge configuration using this navigation project is 1, 200 ft long, 105 ft wide, and drafts 9 ft.
