Inland Waterways Corps Budget Request Contains No Funds From The Inland Waterways Trust Fund........
Earlier this month, the Biden Administration released their Fiscal Year 2024 budget which requests $7.41 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Civil Works program. This is an increase over FY23's $6.6 billion funding request and is the largest budget request for the Corps in recent years.
Chief of Engineers General Scott Spellmon said that he did not submit a request to the assistant secretary of the Army-civil works for any funding from the approximately $125 million annually available from the Inland Waterways Trust Fund because the Corps "does not have the capability" to use it due to work on ongoing projects funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
This announcement disappointed Waterways interests. Tracy Zea. president and CEO of Waterways Council Inc. says that the announcement was surprising since President Biden had stated that strengthening the supply chain was a major goal for 2024. Zea says that the decision will cause projects to take longer and cost more due to delays, affecting modernization efforts for inland waterways lock and dam infrastructure.......

Missouri River Near Bismarck, North Dakota Ice Jams Are Unlikely, But Still A Threat........
Longtime Bismarck residents may recall the Missouri River Ice Jam of 2009, as the potential for flooding was so severe that the National Guard teamed up with demolition experts to demolish the jam located south of the city.
Experts say that an ice jam is not likely this year, however, there is still a chance, as ice jams are not predictable. Hydrologist Alan Schlag says that ice jams are created in that area when a tributary releases it's ice into the Missouri River.
Schlag says that when an ice jam blocks the river channel, there can be flash flooding in that section of the river in just hours. Schlag adds that they are hoping for a slow, gradual melt which will allow ice to flow freely, avoiding any jams........

Mississippi River Near New Orleans, Louisiana Neptune Pass Has Widened Considerably........
What was once a small canal along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River has widened to become a major channel over the past six years, flowing five times more water than New York's Hudson River.
Neptune Pass, located about 25 miles upstream from where the Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico, funnels freshwater and sediment into the shallow coastal waters of Quarantine Bay and Bay Denesse.
Alex Kolker, a coastal geologist at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium says that this is the largest branch to open up in nearly a century. What was once a 150 foot canal in 2016 has widened into an 850 foot wide distributary in 2023, flowing over 118,600 cubic feet per second, which is about 16 percent of the Mississippi's total flow........

Added Sunday Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Work Continuing On Melvin Price Locks And Dam Project........
On Friday, workers and concrete forms were visible in the main lock chamber at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam No.26 in Alton, Illinois as work on the three phase project proceeds.
The project shut down the main lock chamber, causing a slowdown of barge traffic at the beginning of the year. This project is expected to take about three more months. Currently, crews are working on replacing the vertical lift gate in the main lock chamber.
This project marks the first time that a gate on the 1,200 foot main lock chamber has been replaced since the dam began operations in 1989. Currently, river traffic is being directed through the auxiliary lock chamber........

Added Sunday Upper Missouri River Basin Corps Prepping The Missouri River For Spring.........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are beginning to make adjustments to the operations of the Missouri River system as spring draws near. According to Mike Swenson with the Corps' Omaha office, the releases from the Gavins Point Dam near Yankton will begin increasing.
Swenson says that there is plenty of storage space in the Upper Missouri River Reservoirs, but due to the lower expected runoff into the basin, hydropower production from the dams is expected to be lower than normal.
Swenson adds that given the current runoff conditions, the Corps is expecting to cut the Missouri River navigation season short by about three weeks in the fall........

Flooding Floods Occurring More Often, More Severe Around St. Louis........
Major flooding in the Metro St. Louis region seems to be happening more often and is more severe than in years past. For example, the Mississippi River near St. Louis spent over a year of the 2010s - 373 days - at or above flood stage.
There are several factors that contribute to this issue, from the reliance on levees that constrict the rivers, pushing water levels higher to wetter weather trends.
Bob Criss, a professor at Washington University, has long been studying local flooding issues and his research reveals that official flood level predictions at sites along the Mississippi River have less than a 1 percent chance of being correct.........

Missouri Fishing News Paddlefish Season Has Arrived.... MDC Says Mind Your Fish Waste....
The Missouri spring paddlefish snagging season began on March 15th and will run through April 30th, and the Missouri Department of Conservation is reminding the public to responsibly disposed of waste when cleaning fish.
Every year, the MDC receives multiple nuisance complaints of fish waste on the banks near public fishing accesses, especially during paddlefish snagging season.
The MDC says that it is important for anglers to do their part in keeping fishing areas clean for others to use. Fish cleaning waste should be placed in trash receptacles or back in the water as opposed to the water's edge. It should be discarded into deeper water or in the flowing part of the stream........

Sad News Karen Halley Has Passed Away..... Karen L Halley (nee Forister) was called by God to take a walk on the stairway to Heaven on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 9:24am after her extensive battle with cancer. Karen was preceded on her walk by her father, Robert E Forister. Karen waits for others left to continue their paths on Earth. She was the loving wife of Michael (Mike) Halley, cherished daughter of Jacqueline Forister (nee Tappel), sisters Mary Kay Hermeyer (Rick), Pamela Kelley (Kevin), brother Robert Forister Jr (Kim). Karen was the devoted mother of son Jimmy Nix Jr, daughter Jaime Smith, son Cory Nix, Grandmother of Cory Nix Jr, Libby Nix, Liam Nix, Addy Nix, Erin Hannon, Marty Smith, Lexi Nix, Austin Nix. Karen was also stepmother to Crystal Hicks (nee Halley) and several more grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Karen now has her wings and there's a new angel and a bright new star in Heaven. Karen loved her life with Mike and all the great friends she made. She always made people smile and everyone loved her warm and caring heart. It’s not the years in the life that matter, it’s the life in the years, and Karen’s life with Mike was filled with joy, fun, family, friends and excitement. She loved the river life Mike introduced her to, and even bought her own boat. Karen was affectionately given the nickname of "Minnie" by her river friends, due to the high pitch of her voice when she was having fun. She had a special drink at the Yacht Club where we'd always get lunch or dinner when at our boat. Her drink has been named for her in her honor at the club and will now be called the "Minnie", a Malibu and water with a splash of cranberry. When at "The Yacht Club Of St Louis" ask for a "Minnie" in her honor. Karen loved working out to stay fit, and doing yoga with her yoga buddies, and going to breakfast afterward with a few of them. She really loved going to Yoga and talked highly of her instructor, Dawn, and the many different workouts she came up with. Karen will be missed by many and was loved by even more and will never be forgotten. With all our love our sweet angel, until we see you again when we take that walk on the stairway to Heaven. Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO. Visitation will be on Saturday, March 25th from 10:30am to 11:30am with a service immediately following, 11:30am to 12:30pm. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Mike and Karen Halley hail out of the "Yacht Club of St Louis" in the boat "Over Exposed". Memorials can be made in Karen Halley's name to the “Karen Weidinger Foundation” @ https://karensfoundation.org to help fight cancer. |

Missouri Department of Conservation MDC Hosting Invasive Species Webcast........
For anyone interested in learning about invasive animal and plant species in Missouri, the Missouri Department of Conservation will be hosting their Wild Webcast on Invasive Plant and Animal Species online on Wednesday, March 22nd from noon to 1 pm.
Invasive species are aggressive non-native plants and animals that reproduce and spread quickly, causing harm to the environment, human health and/or the economy. Being relocated from their native lands, invasive species have few, if any natural predators to keep their populations in check.
Angela Sokolowski, Invasive Species Ecologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation will be sharing her expertise during the webcast, discussing what communities, individuals and organizations can do to identify, control and even eliminate invasive species........

Fishing News From Orange Beach, Alabama Anglers Reel In A Great White Shark........
Earlier this month on March 7th, a rare event occurred off the coast of Alabama when shark fishing guides Dylan Wier and Blaine Kenney of Coastal Worldwide, LLC caught an 11 foot shark from the shore.
The anglers set the bait about 600 yards off of the beach when the shark hit the bait and took off. Wier was still out in his kayak placing the second bait around 250 yards when he heard the reel start singing. From the time that the shark took the bait until the anglers released the shark back into the water was only 32 minutes.
According to Jill Hendon, director of the University of Southern Mississippi's Center for Fisheries Research and Development, it is rare to catch a great white shark on the beach, however, they do inhabit the colder, deeper coastal waters of the Gulf. She added that catching the shark in early March was more likely due to the cooler water temps along the shore........

Sad News Karen Halley Has Passed Away..... Karen L Halley (nee Forister) was called by God to take a walk on the stairway to Heaven on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 9:24am after her extensive battle with cancer. Karen was preceded on her walk by her father, Robert E Forister. Karen waits for others left to continue their paths on Earth. She was the loving wife of Michael (Mike) Halley, cherished daughter of Jacqueline Forister (nee Tappel), sisters Mary Kay Hermeyer (Rick), Pamela Kelley (Kevin), brother Robert Forister Jr (Kim). Karen was the devoted mother of son Jimmy Nix Jr, daughter Jaime Smith, son Cory Nix, Grandmother of Cory Nix Jr, Libby Nix, Liam Nix, Addy Nix, Erin Hannon, Marty Smith, Lexi Nix, Austin Nix. Karen was also stepmother to Crystal Hicks (nee Halley) and several more grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Karen now has her wings and there's a new angel and a bright new star in Heaven. Karen loved her life with Mike and all the great friends she made. She always made people smile and everyone loved her warm and caring heart. It’s not the years in the life that matter, it’s the life in the years, and Karen’s life with Mike was filled with joy, fun, family, friends and excitement. She loved the river life Mike introduced her to, and even bought her own boat. Karen was affectionately given the nickname of "Minnie" by her river friends, due to the high pitch of her voice when she was having fun. She had a special drink at the Yacht Club where we'd always get lunch or dinner when at our boat. Her drink has been named for her in her honor at the club and will now be called the "Minnie", a Malibu and water with a splash of cranberry. When at "The Yacht Club Of St Louis" ask for a "Minnie" in her honor. Karen loved working out to stay fit, and doing yoga with her yoga buddies, and going to breakfast afterward with a few of them. She really loved going to Yoga and talked highly of her instructor, Dawn, and the many different workouts she came up with. Karen will be missed by many and was loved by even more and will never be forgotten. With all our love our sweet angel, until we see you again when we take that walk on the stairway to Heaven. Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO. Visitation will be on Saturday, March 25th from 10:30am to 11:30am with a service immediately following, 11:30am to 12:30pm. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Mike and Karen Halley hail out of the "Yacht Club of St Louis" in the boat "Over Exposed". Memorials can be made in Karen Halley's name to the “Karen Weidinger Foundation” @ https://karensfoundation.org to help fight cancer. |

STL Jury Awards $15 Million To Mother Of Worker That Drowned In The Mississippi River........
On Wednesday, a St. Louis jury ordered Osage Marine Services to pay $15 million to the mother of a barge worker that slipped and fell into the Mississippi River and drowned in December 2019.
Attorneys say that 22 year old Casey Redmond was working on a deck crew for Osage Marine Services for about nine months when he and a supervisor were called out to service a barge at around 1:30 am on a cold and dark night.
As Redmond followed his supervisor onto the barge, he slipped and fell into the river, disappearing under their boat. His body was never found. Attorney for Redmond's mother, Candace Love claim that Osage Marine Services did not make sure the barge was clean and safe and did not try to rescue Redmond after he fell........

Mississippi River Management MRCTI Mayors Seek Increased Resilience Of Mississippi River Basin........
Member mayors of the Mississippi River Cities & Towns Initiative recently released a policy platform that outlines their goals of directing the federal funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act to strengthen and benefit the river corridor.
The MRCTI is a group of 103 mayors of towns and cities lining the Mississippi River from north of the Twin Cities to the Gulf of Mexico. Their efforts are focused on channeling and directing investment throughout the river basin, reflecting coordinated plans involving public agencies and private businesses in order to make the river basin more efficient, productive and resilient.
The majority of the programs that the MRCTI advocates for are "navigation adjacent", as opposed to directly concerned with navigation. The MRCTI is calling on Congress to support the Marine Highway Programming by funding the grant account at $12 million........

More Information Mississippi River Near Granite City, Illinois Construction Begins On New Interstate 270 Mississippi River Bridge........
Work has started on the new Interstate 270 Chain of Rocks Bridge spanning the Mississippi River between Missouri and Illinois. The new Chain of Rocks Bridge will be constructed adjacent to the existing span, which was completed in 1966.
Once the new span opens, the existing four lane I-270 Chain of Rocks Bridge will be demolished and a new span will be built in it's place. Initially, the new span will open as a four lane, but will eventually have six lanes after the diverging diamond interchange at Riverview Drove is completed.
The project is expected to be wrapped up by 2026 and cost about $500 million. The existing span is nearing the end of it's design life and has undergone multiple repairs including to it's structural steel and substructure........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AG Coast
“A stretch of the Mississippi
River in and near St. Louis, Mo., has become America’s center of
gravity for grain-handling for transit and export. It is so
dense with grain- and fertilizer-handling facilities that can
handle all transportation modes—truck, rail and barge—that it is
being called “America’s Agriculture Coast” or “Ag Coast.”

Cahokia Creek In Madison County, Illinois AG Filed 2nd Order Related To Madison County Oil Spill........
Attorney General Kwame Raoul recently filed a second agreed interim order in an ongoing lawsuit against Marathon Pipe Line LLC concerning the spill of approximately 147,000 gallons of heavy crude oil from a pipeline near Edwardsville in March 2022.
The order requires Marathon to fully investigate the effects of the spill and determine whether additional corrective actions may be required. Raoul says that the order guarantees that Marathon takes the necessary actions to eliminate the human and environmental risks in the areas affected by the spill.
The lawsuit alleges that Marathon violated the Illinois Environmental Protection Act and endangered public safety and the environment by causing or allowing the release of heavy crude oil into Cahokia Creek, which is a tributary of the Mississippi River........

Sad News Karen Halley Has Passed Away..... Karen L Halley (nee Forister) was called by God to take a walk on the stairway to Heaven on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 9:24am after her extensive battle with cancer. Karen was preceded on her walk by her father, Robert E Forister. Karen waits for others left to continue their paths on Earth. She was the loving wife of Michael (Mike) Halley, cherished daughter of Jacqueline Forister (nee Tappel), sisters Mary Kay Hermeyer (Rick), Pamela Kelley (Kevin), brother Robert Forister Jr (Kim). Karen was the devoted mother of son Jimmy Nix Jr, daughter Jaime Smith, son Cory Nix, Grandmother of Cory Nix Jr, Libby Nix, Liam Nix, Addy Nix, Erin Hannon, Marty Smith, Lexi Nix, Austin Nix. Karen was also stepmother to Crystal Hicks (nee Halley) and several more grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Karen now has her wings and there's a new angel and a bright new star in Heaven. Karen loved her life with Mike and all the great friends she made. She always made people smile and everyone loved her warm and caring heart. It’s not the years in the life that matter, it’s the life in the years, and Karen’s life with Mike was filled with joy, fun, family, friends and excitement. She loved the river life Mike introduced her to, and even bought her own boat. Karen was affectionately given the nickname of "Minnie" by her river friends, due to the high pitch of her voice when she was having fun. She had a special drink at the Yacht Club where we'd always get lunch or dinner when at our boat. Her drink has been named for her in her honor at the club and will now be called the "Minnie", a Malibu and water with a splash of cranberry. When at "The Yacht Club Of St Louis" ask for a "Minnie" in her honor. Karen loved working out to stay fit, and doing yoga with her yoga buddies, and going to breakfast afterward with a few of them. She really loved going to Yoga and talked highly of her instructor, Dawn, and the many different workouts she came up with. Karen will be missed by many and was loved by even more and will never be forgotten. With all our love our sweet angel, until we see you again when we take that walk on the stairway to Heaven. Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO. Visitation will be on Saturday, March 25th from 10:30am to 11:30am with a service immediately following, 11:30am to 12:30pm. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Mike and Karen Halley hail out of the "Yacht Club of St Louis" in the boat "Over Exposed". Memorials can be made in Karen Halley's name to the “Karen Weidinger Foundation” @ https://karensfoundation.org to help fight cancer. |

Missouri River Near Riverside, Missouri KC Area Angler Finds Part Of A Gravestone In The River........
While on a fishing trip at the end of last month, angler Olen Lehman, operator of KC Rodbenders fishing charter company, found part of a gravestone in the riverbank near Riverside, Missouri.
Lehman says that the river level is particularly low right now and the gravestone was located in an area normally covered with water. He added that the grave marker could have come from the Flood of 1993, or it could have come from anywhere.
Lehman is looking to track down the owner of the gravestone and has spent two weeks researching the gravestone online, but has no concrete leads. The gravestone is engraved with what appears to be the last name "Emerson" and has a date of 1955. The letters "HER" are at the top of the marker, possibly the second half of the word father or mother........

Sad News Karen Halley Has Passed Away..... Karen L Halley (nee Forister) was called by God to take a walk on the stairway to Heaven on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 9:24am after her extensive battle with cancer. Karen was preceded on her walk by her father, Robert E Forister. Karen waits for others left to continue their paths on Earth. She was the loving wife of Michael (Mike) Halley, cherished daughter of Jacqueline Forister (nee Tappel), sisters Mary Kay Hermeyer (Rick), Pamela Kelley (Kevin), brother Robert Forister Jr (Kim). Karen was the devoted mother of son Jimmy Nix Jr, daughter Jaime Smith, son Cory Nix, Grandmother of Cory Nix Jr, Libby Nix, Liam Nix, Addy Nix, Erin Hannon, Marty Smith, Lexi Nix, Austin Nix. Karen was also stepmother to Crystal Hicks (nee Halley) and several more grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Karen now has her wings and there's a new angel and a bright new star in Heaven. Karen loved her life with Mike and all the great friends she made. She always made people smile and everyone loved her warm and caring heart. It’s not the years in the life that matter, it’s the life in the years, and Karen’s life with Mike was filled with joy, fun, family, friends and excitement. She loved the river life Mike introduced her to, and even bought her own boat. Karen was affectionately given the nickname of "Minnie" by her river friends, due to the high pitch of her voice when she was having fun. She had a special drink at the Yacht Club where we'd always get lunch or dinner when at our boat. Her drink has been named for her in her honor at the club and will now be called the "Minnie", a Malibu and water with a splash of cranberry. When at "The Yacht Club Of St Louis" ask for a "Minnie" in her honor. Karen loved working out to stay fit, and doing yoga with her yoga buddies, and going to breakfast afterward with a few of them. She really loved going to Yoga and talked highly of her instructor, Dawn, and the many different workouts she came up with. Karen will be missed by many and was loved by even more and will never be forgotten. With all our love our sweet angel, until we see you again when we take that walk on the stairway to Heaven. Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO. Visitation will be on Saturday, March 25th from 10:30am to 11:30am with a service immediately following, 11:30am to 12:30pm. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Mike and Karen Halley hail out of the "Yacht Club of St Louis" in the boat "Over Exposed". Memorials can be made in Karen Halley's name to the “Karen Weidinger Foundation” @ https://karensfoundation.org to help fight cancer. |

Despite some improvements in the drought conditions along the Upper Missouri River Basin, runoff into the river above Sioux City, Iowa has remained below normal.
Runoff into the Missouri River's Upper Basin during February was 1 million acre-feet, which is about 86 percent of average. The 2023 runoff forecast is for 21.5 MAF, or 84 percent of the average of 25.7 MAF.
According to John Remus, chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River Basin Water Management Division, the soil moisture has slightly improved in some areas, however, drought conditions are still present across the majority of the basin........

Mississippi River Shipping News Upper Mississippi Shipping Season Starting Early........
Several social media posts showed two river tows pushing barges through Lake Pepin in Saturday, marking the beginning of the 2023 shipping season along the Upper Mississippi River.
As of Saturday evening, the tows, Neil N. Diehl and the Phillip M. Pfeffer were just past Lake City, Minnesota and making their way through the ice at 1.5 knots.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported areas of open water in Lake Pepin last week. The latest ice measurements taken on March 6th showed more than 20 inches of ice in some areas, but close to half was more porous "white ice".
The average starting date for commercial vessels to begin navigating Lake Pepin is March 20th. The earliest that the shipping season has begun on the Upper Mississippi RIver was on March 4th, which has occurred three times over the past 40 years........

The Mississippi River Delta New Study Reveals What Human Actions Add To Land Loss........
A study from researchers at Indiana University and Louisiana State University has revealed new information concerning the role human activity has played in the large scale land loss within the Mississippi River Delta.
Up until now, scientists have been uncertain about what human related factors are the most consequential and why the most rapid period of land loss in the Mississippi River Delta has occurred between the 1960s and the 1990s and has since slowed down.
Doug Edmonds, the Malcolm and Sylvia Boyce Chair in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, says that it is tempting to link the land loss to the construction of dams in the Mississippi River Basin, but the research indicates that dam building has not had that big of an effect..........

Mississippi River Near Memphis, Tennessee Corps Looking At Ecosystem Restoration Project........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is studying a new Mississippi River restoration project that will begin with a 39-mile section near Memphis, Tennessee that could help save threatened and endangered aquatic species.
The Mississippi River levee system has disconnected the river from much of it's floodplain. This is an unintended consequence of the Corps' flood control and navigation projects, which has made the river have a more managed flow.
The Corps is now proposing a wide-ranging ecosystem restoration project for approximately one-third of the Lower Mississippi River, beginning with a 39 mile section near Memphis........

Karen loved her life with Mike and all the great friends she made. She always made people smile and everyone loved her warm and caring heart. It’s not the years in the life that matter, it’s the life in the years, and Karen’s life with Mike was filled with joy, fun, family, friends and excitement. She loved the river life Mike introduced her to, and even bought her own boat. Karen was affectionately given the nickname of "Minnie" by her river friends, due to the high pitch of her voice when she was having fun. She had a special drink at the Yacht Club where we'd always get lunch or dinner when at our boat. Her drink has been named for her in her honor at the club and will now be called the "Minnie", a Malibu and water with a splash of cranberry. When at "The Yacht Club Of St Louis" ask for a "Minnie" in her honor. Karen loved working out to stay fit, and doing yoga with her yoga buddies, and going to breakfast afterward with a few of them. She really loved going to Yoga and talked highly of her instructor, Dawn, and the many different workouts she came up with. Karen will be missed by many and was loved by even more and will never be forgotten. With all our love our sweet angel, until we see you again when we take that walk on the stairway to Heaven. Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO. Visitation will be on Saturday, March 25th from 10:30am to 11:30am with a service immediately following, 11:30am to 12:30pm. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Mike and Karen Halley hail out of the "Yacht Club of St Louis" in the boat "Over Exposed". Memorials can be made in Karen Halley's name to the “Karen Weidinger Foundation” @ https://karensfoundation.org to help fight cancer.Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO.
