Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri Key Vote Allows $1.2 Billion Riverfront Plan To Move Forward........
On Thursday, the St. Louis Port Authority Board approved a proposed $1.2 billion master redevelopment agreement with developer, New York-based Good Developments Group, which establishes the developer's responsibilities for the project.
The proposal, which is located on the 95 acres along the St. Louis riverfront south of the Poplar Street Bridge known as Choteau's Landing, calls for the construction of high-rise residential towers, an entertainment district and advanced manufacturing center that would produce construction materials for projects all over the nation.
The project, referred to as Gateway South, needed the Port Authority's approval, as it is located within it's boundaries. The agreement still needs to get the approval of the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, which is expected to be granted at an upcoming meeting........

Mississippi River Near New Madrid, Missouri A Look Bach At The Earthquake That Left The Mississippi River Flowing Backwards........
Over the winter of 1811 - 1812, there were a series of earthquakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which straddles the Mississippi River valley north of Memphis, Tennessee. The worst of these earthquakes occurred at 3:45 am on February 7, 1812.
The temblor measured at a magnitude around 7.5, which devastated New Madrid and severely damaged homes in St. Louis, which is about 160 miles away. The earthquake caused portions of the Mississippi River bed to deform, with some areas rising and causing the river to flow upstream.
The quake also caused land in northeastern Tennessee to sink by 5 to 20 feet. Water from the Mississippi River rushed in to fill the newly depressed land, forming a new body of water, Reelfoot Lake........

Mississippi River At St. Paul, Minnesota Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock Project Switched To Native Leadership........
Friends of the Falls is releasing their preliminary design concepts for the area surrounding the decommissioned Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had announced the lock's closure in 2016 to avoid the spread of invasive species.
In 2017, the Corps began looking for possible new uses for the facility and in recognition of the cultural importance of the area to the Dakota people and other Native American cultures that lived in the area before the city was founded, Friends of the Falls committed to putting forth a Native-led plan for the site.
The early designs show places where people can gather for ceremonies, healing and places where they can gather to physically connect with the river. These designs pay tribute to Spirit Island, which was a sacred place that Dakota women went to give birth........

Mississippi River At Natchez, Mississippi Update: Search For Missing Barge Worker Called Off Due To High Winds........
On Wednesday, the search for the missing barge worker, who has been identified as 50 year old Donnie Mitchell, was called off at around 2 pm due to increasingly high winds.
On Tuesday morning, Mitchell was disembarking from the barge he had been working on via a ladder to a walkway above at the Buzzi Unicem USA's terminal when he apparently slipped and fell into the river. Witnesses tossed him a life ring and tried to grab him with a drag hook, but were not successful.
According to Robert Bradford, the Adams County Emergency Management director, the search for Mitchell will resume Thursday morning. He added that the company will be moving the barges that they believe he went under to see if they can find him........

Mississippi River Levels How Are The Mississippi River Levels Looking?
Only a few months ago, barge traffic was not able to safely move along the Lower Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, as record low water levels were recorded throughout the Mississippi River Valley. At Memphis, Tennessee, the Mississippi River had fallen to -10.81 feet below zero gauge.
Barges were backed up along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers after the appearance of sandbars caused them to run aground. Dredges were working around the clock to keep the channels open for barge traffic.
Fast Forward to February 2023, recent precipitation has helped to increase water levels on the Mississippi River at Memphis and the Ohio River at Cairo, Illinois, which were two of the more troublesome spots in 2022. As of February 5th, the Ohio River is looking good, however, without more rain, the Memphis gauge is expected to fall to a low-water stage by the middle of the month........

Ilinois River Shipping News Barge Disruption Looming As 120 Day Lock Closure Draws Near........
Between June 1 and September 30, the Brandon Road, Dresden Island, Marseilles and Starved Rock lock and dams will be closed allowing crews to perform necessary maintenance. These locks link Lake Michigan with the Mississippi River Valley and the closure will strand anything needing to move between the waterways.
River shipping interests are preparing for the coming closures and many will be relying on rail shipments during the closures. Shippers will likely begin shifting to rail in May or even earlier as shippers will want to make sure their barges are off the Illinois River well before it closes.
The locks are expected to reopen just in time for the grain shipping season, which is known as a time when barges are in short supply and their rental costs are high........

Mississippi River At New Madrid, Missouri New Madrid's Boat Ramp Set To Be Repaired........
Within the next several months, the City of New Madrid's Mississippi River boat ramp will be receiving repairs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District has awarded Graylee Construction of Ward, Arkansas the contract for the repair and rehabilitation of the boat ramp.
The $959,000 awarded for the project was part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Project Manager Zach Cook says that the project is significant as it allows the Corps to rehabilitate a crucial "on ramp" to the Mississippi River.
Cook adds that the ramp is important infrastructure to the public and the government. The Corps uses the ramp to launch survey boats for the Dredge Hurley and other mission-critical navigation initiatives along the river........

Mississippi River Near La Crosse, Wisconsin Investigation Reveals Initial Report Of 2019 Accident Was Inaccurate Bass Boat Driver Convicted of Negligent Operation........
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is wrapping up their investigation of a deadly 2019 boat collision along the Mississippi River and their investigators have found that the first story of what had occurred wasn't true.
The DNR statement recounted that on August 17, 2019, the boater was in a jon boat when it collided with a bass boat near French Slough and the Black River. After the collision, the jon boat driver refused treatment at the scene, but due to suffering multiple head injuries, died the next day.
Immediately after the crash, the victim and the driver of the bass boat spoke with the La Crosse Co. Sheriff's Office and the initial report was that the victim's jon boat had failed to yield the right of way at the blind corner.
After the boater's death, the DNR launched an investigation into the incident. The DNR investigators determined that the bass boat was in fact overtaking the jon boat at the time of the collision and should have given way. The bass boat driver was eventually charges with negligent operation and convicted in November in a plea agreement........

Lower Mississippi River River Levels Returning To Normal........
During what is normally considered to be the slow time of year, barge traffic is returning to normal. Tom Torretti with Consolidated Grain & Barge Co. says that the water levels are back up to normal south of Cairo, compared to where they were in September and October.
Torretti says that the low water problems last year were the worst we had seen since 1988. The low river levels, which Torretti said made parts of the Mississippi River look like a creek, delayed barge traffic and caused freight rates to skyrocket in 2022.
Thankfully, the barges are moving once again and freight rates are falling as the planting season approaches. Much of the fertilizer and other input products used on Illinois farms are shipped by barge........

The dustpan dredge began it's season on May 10, 2022 and spent 254 days on the water. The Dredge Jadwin relocated some 6.2 million cubic yards of material from the Mississippi River. A typical dredging season runs about 160 days.

For at least a few decades, a project to revitalize the swamp has been in the works, but now, it is proceeding. Over the next several months, work is expected to begin on a revitalization project utilizing water from the nearby Mississippi River.
The project is expected to help about 45,000 acres. It is intended to improve the region's storm protections and revive an ecosystem that once a prime spot for wildlife........

Mississippi River Journeys Paddlers Look To Resume Annual Mississippi River Trips........

Boat Propulsion Manufacturer ePropulsion Showcasing Electric Pontoon Boats........
Electric marine propulsion manufacturer, ePropulsion, recently announced their partnership with Tiny Boat Nation, to sponsor TBNation's all-electric custom Pond-Tini Series 12 pontoon giveaway.
Chris Ponnwitz, electric market manager for ePropulsion's U.S. distributor, Mack Boring & Parts Company, says that they are excited to be partnering with TBNation, as they have deep roots in DIY boats and recreational boating communities, but they are also leading the way for boat electrification.

Lake Ray Hubbard In Rockwall, Texas 40 Firefighters Battled Marina Blaze That Destroyed Several Boats........
On Monday evening, several boats were destroyed in a marina fire on Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall, Texas, near Dallas. Shortly before 5:30 pm Monday evening, the Rockwall Fire Department was called out for a report of a fire in Chandler's Landing Marina.
Upon arrival, Firefighters found the blaze had overtaken several boats and required several more fire departments to be called out. Firefighting efforts were hindered by the weather, the difficulty in accessing the fire at the marina and the remote location of available water to fight the fire.
Over 40 Firefighters from five Fire Departments fought the fire, which resulted in the damage to four boats and portions of the dock system. There were no injuries reported........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Work Continuing On Three Month Lock Project........
On Tuesday, scaffolding was visible in the main lock chamber of the Melvin Price Locks and Dam No.26 in Alton, Illinois, as crews are working on a three phase project to replace the vertical lift gate on the main lock chamber.
The project has slowed traffic through the lock, as tows must use the smaller auxiliary lock until work is completed. The main lock chamber is scheduled to reopen in the spring, but it will be shut down again in January 2024 to complete the project begun this year.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District says that he first phase, the actual construction of the lift gate, is currently in progress. Alabama-based G&G Steel was awarded a $7.7 million contract to construct the new gate........

Water Quality News St. Charles Investigating Ground Water Contamination........
This week, crews will begin installing permanent monitoring wells in 13 places in St. Charles, Missouri. On Tuesday, workers braved temperatures in the upper teens to install a pair of permanent monitoring wells.
Nick Galla, director of public works for the City of St. Charles, says that the EPA had completed their site investigation of the St. Charles water well field. He adds that the EPA performed "direct push testing", where soil samples are collected in an attempt to determine where contamination is coming from.
Galla said that the city believes that the contamination is coming from the Amren substation site, so they began sampling around city well six, which is one of the wells the city had to shut down last year........

Metro East Flood Maps FEMA, Community Advocates Call On Residents To Review Proposed Flood Maps........
Over the past two weeks, the Federal Emergency Management Agency recently hosted four open houses in several Metro East communities in order to release their preliminary flood risk maps for the region. The maps had not been updated since 2003.
The maps are in their preliminary phase and community organizers and FEMA are calling on residents to educate themselves about the threat of flooding in historically hard hit areas of the Metro East.
Dan Schulman with FEMA's Region 5 office in Chicago says that the potential changes vary from property to property. He adds that there could be significant changes, there could be none........

St. Louis Riverboat History A Look At the Music Of The St. Louis Riverboats........
During the golden age of riverboat music, St. Louis was a hotspot for musicians looking to make it big and there was no better place to play than aboard the Capitol steamboat, which was home to the Fate Marable band.
Fate Marable was a Paducah native who quickly became a piano prodigy after being taught how to play by his mother. By 1918, he had arrived in St. Louis where the demand for exciting music along the riverfront made him quite popular.
Fate Marable as well as fellow bandleader Charlie Creath dominated and defined St. Louis riverboat music at that time. Between their two bands, many great musicians were brought to St. Louis........

Mississippi River Outlook River Levels Rebounding, May Be Normal By Spring........
The river shipping crisis along the Mississippi River may finally be drawing to a close. Since July, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been dredging 24/7 in the problem areas as low water caused shipping backups. The Corps is expecting that dredging operations will wrap up by the end of the month.
Officials from the Soy Transportation Coalition say that the Corps has done a fantastic job dredging. They are also optimistic because of the improved snowpack in the Upper Mississippi River Basin and increased precipitation in the Mid-Mississippi River Valley.
Mike Steenhoek, Executive Director of the Soy Transportation Coalition says that looking at the river gauges at Memphis, Tennessee and St. Louis, Missouri, the water levels are equal to or at least comparable to where they were at this time last year........

More Information U.S. Waterways Supreme Court Ruling May Lessen Protections For Smaller Wetlands........
While there are remnants of the old levee still visible at The Nature Conservancy's Emiquon Preserve in Central Illinois, it is no longer holding back the Illinois River from the surrounding land. What was farmland 17 years ago is now close to 7,000 acres of restored wetlands.
Wetlands serve multiple purposes, including providing safe havens for wildlife to rest in, serving as natural water filters and acting as flood buffers during major rainfall events by providing space for water to collect and soak in.
An ongoing case before the U.S. Supreme Court, Sackett v. EPA, could roll back the federal government's authority to regulate wetlands and potentially pare away their protections altogether. This raises concerns amongst conservationists, who say that Illinois and Missouri have lost some 90 percent of their original wetlands........

Ohio River At Owensboro, Kentucky Riverport Traffic Increasing With Improved Mississippi River........
Last year's drought conditions along the Mississippi River had affected commercial shipping traffic causing delays and prompting light loading of barges. This in turn increased shipping costs as well as the costs of the goods being transported.
The end of the crisis appears to be in sight, as the Riverport Director, Brian Wright says that barges coming into the Ohio River port at Owensboro, Kentucky are returning to normal.
Wright says that the traffic started returning in December with the increase in precipitation. Wright adds that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were crucial in keeping traffic moving along the inland waterways.........

Mississippi River At Herculaneum, Missouri Jefferson County Helps Herculaneum With Boathouse For Their Fireboat........
The Herculaneum Fire Department, who has a 25 foot "safe boat" for responding to emergencies on the Mississippi River, was recently accepted for a $300,000 federal Department of Homeland Security Port Security Grant.
Fire Chief Kevin Baker say that the grant will be used to construct a boathouse along the river to house the "safe boat". Baker says that they have had the boat since 2013 or 2014 and have used it to respond to barge fires, drownings and other water emergencies.
Baker says that having a boat house will drastically cut their response time, as the boat is currently stored on a trailer in the firehouse. Baker adds that it takes about 45 minutes to respond to a scene........

Mississippi River At Quincy, Illinois Eagle Watchers Turned Out For Eagle Days Event........
On Saturday, visitors headed out to Lock and Dam No.21, south of Quincy, Illinois for the 2023 Great River Eagle Days event hosted by the Quincy Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Cindy Klebe, lead park ranger and natural resources specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says that this time of year is great for eagle watching. She added that there were also pelicans down there, swans flying overhead, in addition to kingfishers and gulls.
Klebe says that the QACVB has been presenting the event for many years and it is a great way to raise awareness for the public. She notes that a lot of the people are not aware of this location for eagle watching, so they invite them to the event and they're astonished by what they see........

Added Sunday Asian Carp Update Ground Broken For Kentucky Carp Processing Facility........
Earlier this month, the International Fisheries Park in Wickliffe, Kentucky broke ground on one of several businesses intended to transform invasive Asian carp into useful products.
Nutrifish will mostly be producing fish meal and fish oil for animal food additives, including both pet and livestock food. Construction of the new building is expected to be wrapped up in the next two to three months, just in time for the installation of manufacturing equipment.
Nutrifish is located adjacent to the existing Two Rivers Fisheries, who takes carp harvested by commercial fishermen, cleans, freezes and exports them primarily to the middle east for human consumption........

Added Sunday Mississippi River Near Memphis, Tennessee How The Diamond Lady Riverboat Ended Up Stuck In The Mud........
The recent drought and resulting low water levels of the Mississippi River fully exposed the sad, partly sunken remains of a once regal riverboat, the Diamond Lady, which is stuck in the mud at a marina in McKellar Lake, just off the Mississippi River at Memphis.
The Diamond Lady was launched on April 1, 1991 in Bettendorf, Iowa. Three thousand people attended the event, which saw game-show hostess Vanna White christen the vessel.
Over the years, the riverboat changed locations and owners, eventually ending up mothballed in Cummings Marine facility in 2002 0r 2003. Eventually, slack in the vessel's mooring lines allowed the Diamond Lady to become grounded. Flooding in 2006 ruined her engines. By 2008, the vessel was towed to nearby Riverside Marina and in 2021, the Diamond Lady sank during a hard freeze........

Des Plaines River Near Joliet, Illinois Brandon Road Carp Barrier Project Threatened By Funding Agreement Delay........
Funding for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project is currently in danger of lapsing, as there is still no project partnership agreement in place. The project includes a complex, multi-layered barrier intended to stop invasive species from migrating between the river and the Great Lakes.
The Brandon Road Interbasin Project consists of an engineered channel equipped with a flushing lock, an air bubble curtain and an acoustic deterrent intended to supplement an electric barrier already in place in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal south of Chicago.
The design funding for the project was expected to run out at the end of January without an agreement in place to acquire additional funds. Stakeholders have been trying to reach an agreement allowing $5.5 million from the non-federal sponsor to be advanced to keep the project in motion........

Missouri River Near Sioux City, Iowa How Snowpack Affect s Runoff Into The Missouri River........
The Upper Missouri River Basin recently had their largest snowfall event in the last 5 years and as a result, there is a considerable amount of snowpack on the ground. So far this year, there has been more snow than last year. Sioux City has seen 17.3 inches of snow this year compared to only 4.4 inches last year, and we are only about halfway through the winter season.
The snowpack is so important because the snow that is melted runs off into the Missouri River Basin. With the higher levels of snowpack this year, there is a greater chance for flooding once warmer temperatures arrive. One factor that will work in our favor is that the rivers are near all-time lows as we are coming off one of the driest years on record.
As of January 24th, the Missouri River at Sioux City was at 5.27 feet, thanks to the past two dry years. Considering that flood stage is 30 feet, there is no need to worry about flooding at this time........

Missouri River Near Brunswick, Missouri Port Receiving Grant For Container-On-Barge Shipping Services........
The Green Hills Regional Planning Commission recently announced that they will be the recipient of am $8,768,000 grant from the U.S. Maritime Administration under the Port Infrastructure Development Program for the development of Container-on-barge shipping services at AGRIServices of Brunswick, Missouri.
The grant will upgrade the existing Brunswick River Terminal, located along the Missouri River at Mile Marker 256, near the mouth of the Grand River. The facility will receive a new container dock and related mooring structures, which will offer 200 feet of frontage for loading and unloading barges. The facility will also get an new rail spur consisting of about 4,000 feet of track that can support a 36-unit train at the port.
Lucy Fletcher, business development manager for AGRIServices of Brunswick says that thanks to recent maintenance work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to address deferred maintenance the port had no shutdowns during the recent periods of low water, however, barges were required to light load coming upriver........

Marine Products Posts Record Fourth Quarter........
Marine Products Corp., parent company of Chaparral and Robalo boats recently announced a 42 percent increase in sales during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. For the quarter that ended on December 31, 2022, Marine Products Corp. posted net sales of $108.5 million, compared to $76.5 million during 2021.
Marine Products says that the growth is attributed to a 29 percent increase in the number of vessels sold during the quarter as well as a 12 percent increase in the average selling price per boat. Unit sales increased mainly because the company was able to finish boats more efficiently and shipping more boats for inventory.
Marine Products CEO Ben M. Palmer says that during the fourth quarter, the supply chain and transportation issues continued to improve, allowing them to increase shipments of boats, satisfying dealer demands for the new 2023 models........

Mississippi River Management 24/7 Dredging Operations May Wrap Up At The End Of The Month........
The drought conditions along the Mississippi River has been big news, as barges were being stranded and the falling water levels had revealed long-hidden historic artifacts. In October, traffic was halted briefly, however, when the channel reopened, the drought was still on.
Traffic was only able to resume along the historically low Mississippi River because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had been constantly dredging the river channel. At one point, there were three dredges working 24/7 to deepen chokepoints in the St. Louis area.
Lou Dell'Orco, chief of operations and readiness with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' St. Louis District says that it is normal to have one dredge operating 24/7 during the navigation season, but not two or three........

Mississippi River Near Red Wing, Minnesota Woman Charged With Leaving Newborn To Die On Sandbar Pleads Guilty........
On Wednesday, Jennifer Matter, who was accused with leaving her newborn baby to die along the Mississippi River in 2003 has pled guilty to second degree murder.
Matter admitted to giving birth on Methodist Beach in 2003 and leaving the baby. Prosecutors stated that DNA evidence also links Matter to a baby girl found in the Mississippi RIver four years earlier, however, no additional charges have been filed.
Investigators say that DNA samples from both infants, one found in 1999 and the other in 2003, were tied to Matter by a genealogy search that led to potential relatives in Goodhue County........

Boating Infrastructure Are Boaters, Paddlers Paying Equal Share For Ramps, Conservation Programs?
A recent report released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office indicates that those who recreate on the water in motorized and nonmotorized vessels that mutually benefit from the use of boat launch ramps, boating safety programs and conservation efforts may not be paying equal shares for these services.
Discussions on the equitability of contributions to the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which is a user pay/user benefit grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, arose from a mandate included in the Trust Fund's 2021 Reauthorization by Congress.
Revenue for the Trust Fund is sourced directly from import duties or excise taxes vessel operators pay for sportfishing equipment like fishing rods and tackle boxes, but the largest contributor (49%) to the Trust Fund is from a special tax motor boaters pay on fuel........

Missouri Waterways MDC Reports Jellyfish Found In Missouri Waters........
Jellyfish are actually more common in Missouri waters than one would think. The Craspedacusta sowerbyi is the freshwater jellyfish and the Missouri Department of Conservation reports even though they are native to Asia, they can be found around the world in appropriate habitats.
THe jellyfish has two phases of life, the polyp and medusa forms. A polyp is very small and attaches itself to things such as submerges plants or animals. The polyps form buds that separate to become new individuals. It is possible polyps were inadvertently transported on aquatic plants, in stock tanks or even on the feet of migrating birds.
These polyps transform into their medusa form when surface water temperatures reach about 80F, which is typically between July and September. The jellies can have a diameter of up to one inch and cannot tolerate much of a current and are usually found in calm or standing waters.
The MDC says that there have been reports of freshwater jellyfish in the Ozark, Stockton, Table Rock, Lake Pomme de Terre and Tom Sawyer lakes........

Mississippi River Near New Orleans, Louisiana "Forever" Chemicals Found In The Lower Mississippi River........
A New Orleans-based nonprofit has discovered the presence of "forever" chemicals are present in the Lower Mississippi River near New Orleans, Louisiana, prompting an increase in regulatory scrutiny.
The chemicals found in the Mississippi River industrial corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans belong to a family of chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated substances, or called PFAS.
These so-called "forever" chemicals do not easily break down, but they mix with water and penetrate the soil. Rebecca Malpass, policy director for The Water Collaborative says that the discovery of the chemicals shows the need for more water testing and regulations for the chemicals........

Illinois River Near Peoria, Illinois USGS Dispatching Low Flying Helicopter To Survey Watershed.......
Beginning this week, The U.S. Geological Survey will be sending out a helicopter towing a large "hula hoop" to make low level flights over the central Illinois RIver Basin as part of a groundwater study.
For the next three to four weeks, the helicopter will be collecting geophysical measurements as part of the USGS' Next Generation Water Observing System. The helicopter will be flying relatively low to the ground, only a few hundred feet above the surface.
The large round sensor array towed by the helicopter will be used to measure tiny electromagnetic signals which can be used to map underground features........

Ohio River Near Evansville, Indiana Divers Investigating Several Cars In The River........
On Tuesday, several YouTube divers were working in the Ohio RIver near Evansville, Indiana in an effort to find some clues about several cars under the water of the Ohio River.
The group had located several vehicles in the river using sonar equipment and their hope is that by examining the cars, they may be able to find clues that could assist law enforcement investigators to solve missing persons cases.
YouTuber Ronnie from Narked Divers and Brothers Underwater Recovery says that there are thousands of missing people and one of those cars could possibly be linked to them. He adds that they will try to bring up something to help officials identify the vehicle's owner........

Pearl River Near Jackson, Mississippi Retired Teacher Finds 40 Year Old Message In A Bottle........
On Monday, self-described treasure hunter and retired middle school principal Jeremy Weir found an old Grolsch bottle with a ceramic top in a big drift along the Pearl River.
Weir brought the bottle home and while cleaning it, he discovered a plastic bottle with a note in it. The note was dated June 4, 1983, and directed whomever found the note to contact David Blanks who was 3 years old at the time the note was written.
With the help of his daughter, Weir was able to contact Blanks, who was quite surprised that someone had found the bottle after 39 and a half years, Blanks was "ecstatic" that the bottle was found, but didn't remember writing the note as a 3 year old........

This order is a part of the broader damages lawsuit filed by Mississippi Gulf Coast local governments, fishermen and vacation businesses filed in 2019 against the Corps and the Mississippi River Commission.

Missouri River At Kansas City , Missouri Anglers Discover Possible Prehistoric Remains In The Missouri River.......
Anglers Mike Ruth and Dave Jamerson like to scavenge along the riverbanks looking for fossils and artifacts and over the years, have both found unique glass bottles, bones, arrowheads and pieces of petrified wood.
While checking out the Missouri River last weekend, the pair stumbled upon something a bit more unusual. Ruth tripped over what appeared to be a piece of driftwood, but was really a piece of skull with horns attached.
After a quick internet search, the men believed that they may have found an old bison skull. Their beliefs were confirmed by Dr. Melissa Eaton, chair of the social science department at Metropolitan Community College's Longview Campus and president of the KC Archaeological Society.
Dr. Eaton says that the skull may belong to and extinct species of bison which was larger than the buffalo of today........

Marine Oddities From Monterey County, California Hundreds Of Golf Balls Washing Ashore In California.........
Several hundred golf balls have been washing ashore on California's Carmel River State Beach. The recent winter storms appear to be responsible for carrying them along the Carmel River into the Pacific Ocean.
Back-to-back atmospheric rivers have raised river levels, freeing up golf balls that had been trapped in water hazards for years. Many of the golf balls appear to have come from Pebble Beach, as the 9th and 10th holes have ocean views.
Golfers have flocked to the beach to collect the golf balls, many of which are still in playable condition.........

Missouri River Near Washington, Missouri "Ice Surfer" Disappearance Concerns Missouri River Enthusiasts........
Last month's disappearance of "ice surfer" Aaron Duenke has been cause for grief, frustration and unease amongst the paddling community.
Kevin Tosie, operations manager for Missouri River Relief, said that the organization was saddened by the disappearance of Duenke, who had been a repeat MR340 finisher.
Missouri River Relief is a Columbia-based non-profit organization that promotes stewardship of the Missouri River Watershed through cleanups, workshops and field trips. The MR340 paddling race from Kansas City to St. Charles is the organization's marquee event.
Tossie says that river safety classes always start with the same rule, wear a personal floatation device at all times. He adds that water and weather conditions are nearly as important. Paddling is not recommended if there are strong winds, thunderstorms or ice.
Ice chunks in the river, which were present during Duenke's excursion, impede navigation and can cause watercraft to capsize and block access tot he takeouts where paddlers can get to dry land........
