Added Sunday Drowning Deaths In Missouri Increasing This Year........
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that during the first six months of 2021, Missouri has recorded more drowning deaths than in the same time period of any year since 2008.
As of Thursday, 47 people have drowned in Missouri since the year began. Since the Missouri State Highway Patrol started keeping records in 2008, the state had averaged 39 drowning deaths during the first six months of the year.
According to Kyle Green, a spokesman and education officer for the MSHP, he has been unable to find an obvious reason for the increased number of drownings this year..........

Added Sunday Creve Coeur Lake Missouri Disabled Water Ski Association Held Annual Event Saturday........
On Saturday, Creve Coeur Lake hosted the annual Missouri Disabled Water Ski Summer Splash event where people get to water ski, go boating and more.
Rainfall put a damper on this year's event, which was running from 8 am to about 10:30 am when the rains began. Jody Higgins said that it was the first time in 20 years that the event was delayed by rain.
Participants in the water felt the rain fall, heard thunder and saw lightning. Higgins said she was already in the water and in her ski, hoping to get a second run in when officials said it was a no-go........

Added Sunday Underwater Oddities SpongeBob And Patrick Spotted On The Sea Floor........
This week marine scientist Christopher Mah was doing some remote research on the Atlantic Ocean's sea floor, when he spotted two critters that bore an uncanny resemblance to the cartoon characters SpongeBob and Patrick Star.
Mah was studying the Retriever seamount, which is an underwater sea mountain off of the east coast. Mah was using a remotely operated vehicle capable of making and documenting deep sea dives.
Mah, who has ties to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration posted his SpongeBob SquarePants find on Twitter. There was no word on whether a pineapple was found in the area........

Mississippi River At East St. Louis, Missouri Underseepage Wall To Be One Of The Largest Infrastructure Projects No One Will See.........
The St. Louis region is home to many landmarks and engineering marvels such as the Eads Bridge, the Gateway Arch and Union Station. Soon, it will be home to another engineering marvel, however, this one will not be visible.
Colonel Kevin Golinghorst, commander of the St. Louis Engineer District says that the East St. Louis cutoff seepage wall project is one of the largest infrastructure projects that St. Louisans will never see.
The reason people won't see the project is that it is completely underground, as it's job is to protect the levees along the Illinois side of the Mississippi River from underseepage and sandboils.
When completed in 2022, this cutoff wall will be the larges and deepest of it's kind. It will run 4,600 feet parallel to the existing levee on the Illinois side of the river, just north of downtown St. Louis........

Mississippi River Near St. Cloud, Minnesota How Do The Current River Levels Compare To Other Drought Years?
This summer, the level of the Mississippi River in the St. Cloud region is very low, with many rocks and sandbars exposed that many people have not seen before.
According to Tracy Hodel, the Public Services Director for St. Cloud, there are a lot of similarities between this year and 1988 as far as drought conditions are concerned, and water levels are approaching the 1988 levels.
Hodel adds that the two years are so similar because in both years, the dry period began in the spring and early summer. In 1988, that trend lasted until mid-August, when a wet weather pattern started bringing river levels back up........

Boat Maintenance Don't Lose Your Cool When Your Boat Overheats........
Hot summer days are perfect for being on the water, and luckily, boats are designed to run just fine on hot summer days. It is possible, however, for boats to overheat, and that could add up to big trouble as well as big repair bills. According to BoatUS Marine Insurance data 9 percent of boat fires are caused by an overheating engine.
Boaters have a variety of ways available to tell is their boat is overheating. The first is to look at the temperature gauge, if it's headed for the red, there is trouble brewing. If an engine feels as if it is losing power, or doesn't want to restart until cooled down, that could be a sign of trouble. A large amount of steam from the exhaust could indicate a problem as well.
If you determine that an engine is running hot, some troubleshooting will need to be done to determine the cause of the problem. Some of the more common failure points include water pump impeller failure, an issue with the belt driving the water pump is damaged or broken, or the raw water strainers or intakes are clogged........

Mississippi River At Memphis, Tennessee The Interstate 40 Bridge Will Reopen Next Week........
On Wednesday, transportation officials said that the Interstate 40 bridge linking Arkansas and Tennessee that was shut down after a crack was found in span will begin to reopen to traffic next week.
The Arkansas and Tennessee departments of transportation announced that the eastbound lanes of the Hernando De Soto over the Mississippi River will reopen to limited traffic on Monday morning. The westbound lanes are scheduled to open on August 6th.
The Interstate 40bridge was closed on May 11 after a crack was discovered in one of the two 900 foot horizontal steel beams crucial to the bridge's structural integrity.
An inspector with the Arkansas Department of Transportation reported that the bridge inspector that missed the crack in 2019 and 202 has been fired. The crack has been visible since 0216........

Mississippi River At Hannibal, Missouri Work Continuing On Hannibal's Riverfront........

Mississippi River Journeys Paddlers Stop In Vicksburg On Their Trip Down The Mississippi River........
Early Tuesday afternoon, Hank Kohler got out of his canoe in Vicksburg, Mississippi on his trip down the Mississippi River which is intended to raise funds for nature conservation.
42 years ago, Kohler, his brother and two friends left central Minnesota and paddled northwards to Hudson Bay, where they spied a polar bear. Now, Koehler left from the same spot and turned his canoe south, heading towards the Gulf of Mexico.
This trip isn't about the challenge, but rather to raise funds through donations for the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa. The museum has a youth program called CAARE, which affects some 5,000 middle school to college students each year by teaching them about conservation........

Mississippi River Near Grafton, Illinois Corps' Project Will Restore Island Habitat........
This summer, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin a two year project intended to restore island habitat in the Mississippi River near Grafton, Illinois.
The Corps has awarded a $7.2 million contract to Luhr Brothers Inc. of Columbia, Illinois for the project, which according to Corps' public affairs specialist Janet Meredith, will involve dredging and the installation of rock structures. She adds that locks and dams have reduced the amount of island habitat.
This project is part of the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program, which over 35 years has completed approximately 55 projects on 100,000 acres between Minneapolis-St. Paul to St. Louis........

Lower Mississippi River Levees Corps' Airborne Levee Assessments Causing Concern.........
Earlier this month, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been using a helicopter equipped with light detection and ranging or LIDAR to collect data on the depth and soundness of the levees on both the land and river sides of the levees.
According to Kent Parrish, senior Mississippi River project manager for the Corps, the process is like an MRI on the brain. THe LIDAR can look 150 feet down into the ground and reveal what is sand, silt, clay or gravel.
5th Louisiana Levee District President Reynold Minsky says that his office has received several calls from concerned citizens reporting a helicopter hovering over the levees carrying what appears to be a torpedo.
The helicopter and it's crew will be making three passes over some 800 miles of mainline levee between the Arkansas state line and New Orleans. Parrish says that the data collected will help the Corps mitigate sand boils and seepage........

Upper Mississippi River Corps Keeping Tabs On Low Water Levels........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District is keeping a close eye on the Mississippi River levels as the drought conditions continue throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
At this time, however, the low water conditions are not affecting shipping conditions along the Mississippi River, and as a result, navigation is continuing.
According to Dan Faching with the St. Pail District, these low flow conditions along the Upper Mississippi River are exactly why the locks were constructed. The locks, in conjunction with dredging operations is what maintains the navigational channel........

Missouri River Shipping The Missouri River Navigation Season Has Been Reduced........
Even with all of the rainfall across central Missouri a few weeks ago, it might be difficult to believe drought conditions along the northern reaches of the Missouri River have prompted U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reduce the Missouri RIver navigation season by one month.
THe outflow from the Gavins Point Dam in South Dakota will be reduced to 1,500 cubic feet per second, meaning that the navigation season will be eight months instead of nine. This year, it will end on December 1 at St. Louis.
Corps officials say that with drought conditions continuing in the Upper Missouri River Basin, reducing navigation is a necessary water conservation measure to guarantee continued service to all authorized purposes of the river in the short and long term........

The Redneck Fishing Tournament is slated for August 6 - 7, 2021. This tournament is one of the more creative responses to the Asian carp invasion into the Illinois River.

Mississippi River Personalities The Last Mississippi River Gauge Reader Reflects On Career........
Recently, a short ceremony marked the end of an era, as 81 year old Art Denkmann was presented with a certificate of appreciation by the St. Louis Engineers District's water control team for 56 years of service.
Denkmann was the last remaining manual Mississippi River gauge reader. He says that they have become dinosaurs, as technology has taken over. He was the last man to visually verify the gauge reading on a daily basis.
The manual gauge readers have been replaced by an electronic data collection platform. This system can provide a river level reading every 15 minutes, and send it via satellite telemetry to update the numbers online........

Multi-trillion Dollar Infrastructure Legislation Inland Waterways Secretary Of Transportation Says Plan Will Benefit Inland Waterways........
While Congress kicks around the multi-trillion dollar infrastructure legislation intended to invest in roads, bridges, rail, ports and broadband across the United States, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is on tour to promote the deal.
Buttigieg recently discussed the benefits he believes that the bill will bring to the Midwest, a major hub for shipping. He adds that the plan would invest billions in Midwestern ports.
Buttigieg says that transportation is all about connections, however, those connections have become rusty because of lack of investment in the past. He claims that now is the time to get it right for the future........

Wikipedia: Gammel Dansk is a bitters (herbal alcoholic preparation) produced by Arcus-Gruppen in Oslo, Norway, originally developed and produced by Danish Distillers in Denmark.[1][2] Traditionally it is drunk by Danes at certain festive occasions, often in connection with breakfast meals, brunch or at wedding anniversaries and birthday celebrations (which in Denmark traditionally begin in the morning).[3] The name "Gammel Dansk" translates directly from Danish as "Old Danish"

Mississippi River At Cape Girardeau, Missouri Smoke On The Water.... A Fire Burns Out West....
While Trolling The Internet.... We reeled in a photo showing the hazy sky along the Cape Girardeau riverfront on Thursday. The haze is caused by the wildfires burning in the western portion of the United States and Canada.
National Weather Service meteorologist Derrick Snyder says that visibility has been reduced by the haze, and that the smoke is usually in the upper atmosphere, but has been closer to the ground lately....

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Mayor Goins: Riverview Repair Funds Still In Place.........
Alton mayor David Goins reports that the federal funding for the Riverview Drive repair project is still in place. He adds that the city had been receiving calls from concerned citizens alleging that the city had lost the FEMA funding for the project.
Back in 2019, officials started keeping tabs on the sidewalk and retaining wall on Riverview Drive near Riverview Park after cracks developed following heavy rains. A few months later, part of the bluff collapsed, taking the retaining wall and sidewalk with it.
Following two years of negotiations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency announced that Alton would receive $3,759,186 to help with the project. The federal guidelines require that the project's design work be created differently........

The riverfront project addressed multiple infrastructure problems, provided docking locations for two large riverboats as well as the Mark Twain Riverboat and Canton Marine Towing. The project also involved the construction of a new marina and boat ramps among other improvements.........

Mississippi River Near Cahokia Heights, Illinois New Lawsuit Filed Over Sewage Flow Into River........
On Tuesday, residents of Cahokia Heights, Illinois filed a federal lawsuit against the city for violating the Clean Water Act by allowing wastewater to continue to flow into local rivers and creeks.
Filed on behalf of twenty four residents and the Centerville Citizens for Change, the lawsuit is seeking compensation for damage caused by flooding and sewage problems that have been around for decades.
There has been no movement on making repairs to damaged pump stations which move sewage to treatment plants. The stormwater drainage ditches are clogged as well, allowing rainwater to mix with sewage and flow into the ground and waterways........

Duck Boat News Captain, 2 Managers Facing 17 Counts Of Involuntary Manslaughter In 2018 Duck Boat Sinking........
On Friday, July 16, 2021, the Missouri Attorney General and the Stone County prosecuting attorney Announced that they were filing criminal charges against 3 employees of Ride the Ducks on Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri, where the vessel sank during a storm in 2018.
The charges stem from the decisions made by Ride the Ducks employees, who allowed 31 people to board an excursion boat ahead of a severe storm, which pounded the region and caused the vessel to sink.
The charges were filed against the captain, 54 year old Captain Kenneth Scott McKee, 38 year old Curtis Lanham, the general manager of Ride the Ducks Branson and 79 year old Charles V. Baltzell, the operations supervisor that was the acting manager on duty that night.........
