Missouri River Opinions Congress Should Get Involved In Flood Policies........
This year, too little water in the rivers has been the big concern, but with plenty of precipitation, that can change in a hurry. When that happens, the excess water will need somewhere to go, often times, heading downstream and flooding fields, roadways and homes.
During the past several years, heavy flooding along the Missouri River caused plenty of damage and prompted lawsuits from landowners and farmers seeking compensation from the federal government. The lawsuits claimed that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prioritized habitat restoration over flood control, causing substantial losses for those making a living near the river.
The litigation received a favorable ruling, however, the problem for the future is river management. People seeking improvements in flood control are wondering why Congress doesn't intervene and demand that the Corps make flood control a bigger priority........

There is a Christmas Eve tradition along the Mississippi River levees in Louisiana dating back several hundred years that will light up the way for Cajun Santa Claus Papa Noel.
The annual bonfires will light up the levee in St. James Parish in Louisiana on December 24th. it is believed that this tradition can be traced back to Europe as far back as Celtic times.
In 1994, historical author Emily Chenet Guidry wrote that the Christmas Eve tradition is believed to have traveled from Europe to Louisiana in the early 1700s with the arrival of French and German settlers........

River Ferries Ferries Are The Safest, Hardest Working Boats On The River........
Many rivermen looked down on the lowly river ferry, believing them to barely be boats. Early ferries were little more than floating platforms, just crude vessels propelled by oars, horses on a treadmill or even ropes strung across the channel.
While keelboat men and steamboat captains pretended not to notice them, the ferryboat was the only way to cross the river for hundreds of thousands of European immigrants and easterners heading west.
Over the years, progress in the form of railroads and interstates have taken over the workload of the ferryboat without so much as a tip of the hat from history books or river festivals. Could it be time for a revival of the ferryboat?

Mississippi River In The Riverbend Corps Looking To Solve Boater Concerns........
Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a series of public planning workshops for the Melvin Price Locks and Dam water control manual revision, current operations and the proposed increase in the maximum drawdown.
The meetings were attended by representatives of recreational and commercial river interests who had plenty of input for the St. Louis District Water Control Office representatives.
Topics discussed included land losses in Calhoun County and flash flooding in St. Charles, Missouri, as well as tows getting stuck in the Mississippi River and the proposed retaining of more water behind the Melvin Price Lock and Dam........

Water Pollution Illinois Aware Of 3M Chemical Pollution.... No Action Taken....
By the late 2000s, it was apparent that forever chemicals have found their way into the bloodstreams of many Americans. Concerned with the threats to public health, officials in Minnesota and Alabama pressured 3M to clean up the sites where they make the forever chemicals, known as per- and polyfluroalkyl substances.
For better than a decade, however, Illinois state regulators have failed to hold 3M accountable for the air and water pollution from their third PFAS plant, which is located along the Mississippi River approximately 15 miles upstream from the Quad Cities.
An investigation conducted by the Chicago Tribune indicates that Illinois officials knew of pollution problems at 3M's Cordova plant as soon as early 2008. Reportedly, the federal government failed to investigate well-documented hazards in locations where the PFAS are made.
High concentrations of the forever chemicals have been found in the drinking water in the Quad Cities as well as two dozen other cities located along the Mississippi River in Illinois and Iowa........

Mississippi River History A Look At Every Nation That Once Claimed The Mississippi River........
The Mississippi River is one of the United States' greatest rivers, running from Itasca State Park in Minnesota , down through Louisiana into the Gulf of Mexico. Over the river's history, there have been many groups of people living along it, with some claiming it as their own.
In the early 18th century, the French claimed the Mississippi River and the surrounding areas as part of their North American territory. They were mostly interested in the river for use as a potential trade route.
The French handed over control of the Louisiana Territory to Spain in the aftermath of the French and Indian War. After about four decades of rule, Spain eventually handed the territory back to the French in the secret Treaty of San Ildefonso.
The United States acquired the territory from the French in a land transaction known as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The U.S. gained 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million.
The first people to occupy lands along the Mississippi River were several Native American Tribes, including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Quapaw, Osage, Caddo, Natchez and Tunica tribes in the Lower Mississippi River Basin and the Sioux, Sauk, Fox, Ojibwe (or Chippewa), Pottawatomie, Illini, Menominee and Hochunk (or Winnebago) tribes within the upper Mississippi River Basin........

Mississippi River St. Francisville, Louisiana Spend A Day With The Corps' Revetment Team........
Colonel Brian Sawser, Commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Memphis District recently spent some time with the Memphis District Revetment Team to get an idea of what the crews do on a daily basis.
Revetment operations are mainly the preparation for and placement of articulated concrete mattresses from the water's edge out to it's design limits, with stone paving from the water's edge to the top bank.
The revetments stabilizes the riverbank and maintains proper channel alignment. These projects are typically carried out from mid-July through mid-November during periods of low water........

Added Sunday More Information Black Carp Threatening Illinois Waterways.........
Another invasive species is threatening Illinois waterways, threatening the ecosystem. Native to eastern Asia, the black carp were originally imported to control snails in fish farms. How they escaped captivity is unknown.
Several states have banned the possession of black carp and the importation of black carp into the U.S. has been prohibited since their 2007 listing as an injurious species under the Lacey Act.
Black carp have been found in several locations, but their exact abundance and distribution is not known, as the likelihood of catching them in the rivers they inhabit is low. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources believes that the fish have moved up the Illinois River as far as central Illinois........

Errick D. Simmons, mayor of Greenville, Mississippi says that one of the things that they are working on is deploying more than 66,000 acres of new natural infrastructure in eight states and over 30 cities along the Mississippi River.
The MRCTI and Ducks Unlimited plan to restore over 60 wetlands near the river. When the project is completed, these areas will provide wildlife habitat and help hold excess water during storms........

Duck Boat Legislation Congress Approves Tourist Boat Legislation........
Legislation requiring more stringent safety regulations following the 2018 sinking of a duck boat on Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri is headed to the White House for signature into law.
The bill, which was approved by the U.S. Senate on Thursday, directs the U.S. Coast Guard to draft new requirements for amphibious vehicles. The legislation calls for design changes that will guarantee that the vessels remain upright.
Many of the changes were recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board following the 2018 tragedy. If the Coast Guard had followed similar recommendations that the NTSB recommended after a similar boat sank in Arkansas in 1999, the Missouri vessel likely would not have sunk........

Mississippi River At Cape Girardeau, Missouri Missouri Dry Dock Will Close At The Year's End........
Rob Erlbacher II, owner and president of Missouri Dry Dock & Repair Inc. recently announced that he will be closing the company and it's facility located at Cape Girardeau, Missouri at the end of the year.
Erlbacher's father and uncle began building riverboats in the 30's and operated as the Erlbacher Barge Line. Following World War II, his uncle got out of the business and his father kept the business, renaming it Missouri Barge Line.
The elder Erlbacher formed Missouri Dry Dock and Repair Company in the early 50's because "he could not find people to repair his boats the way he wanted them to be repaired". Erlbacher II took over the business after his father passed suddenly in 1968........

The Kentucky Lock project will add a second lock chamber at the dam along the Tennessee River at Mile Marker 22.4 in Gilbertsville, Kentucky. The lock and dam is owned by the Tennessee Valley Authority, but operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
This decades-long project will construct a new 110 foot by 1,200 foot long lock. The new chamber will be twice the size of the existing 110 by 600 foot lock. It is expected to eliminate the 10 to 12 hours of delays that now occur with tows locking through........

Boating Legislation Biden Admin's Boating Proposal Described As "Greatest Regulatory Overreach" Of It's Kind........
Frank Hugelmeyer, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association says that a proposal made by the Biden administration to limit the speed of all motorboats over 35 feet in length from Florida to Massachusetts would be the "greatest regulatory overreach in American maritime law".
The far-reaching regulation, put forward by the U.S. Commerce Department with the support of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, would limit speed to 10 knots, or 11.5 miles per hour for all vessels over 35 feet for up to seven months out of the year and up to 100 miles out to sea for most of the East Coast.
This proposal is intended to prevent boats from hitting the endangered right whale. A NOAA spokesman said that there are only 350 right whales left in the ocean and the rule is intended to reduce the risk of mortalities from vessel strikes, allowing the species a better chance to recover........

More Information Asian Carp Update Black Carp Population Established Within Mississippi River Basin........
According to a recent announcement by the U.S. Geological Survey, research led by the Southern Illinois University has revealed that there is an established population of black carp in portions of the Mississippi River Basin.
The study, authored by SIU, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Missouri State University and the Missouri Department of Conservation, looked at black carp caught between May 2011 and September 2018 for size, age and their environments and whether they were bred in the wild or in captivity.
At this time, it is unclear how the black carp population managed to establish itself within the Mississippi RIver Basin, as the use of black carp in that environment is regulated and requires permits........

Asian Carp Update Black Carp Now Calling Local Rivers Home........
A recent study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey revealed that the invasive black carp are now naturally living and reproducing in the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. The black carp can grow rapidly, up to 3 feet in length.
Black carp prey on snails and mussels and are a threat to native mussel species as mussels improve water quality by filtering out algae, bacteria and pollutants as they breathe and feed.
The study examined black carp caught between May 2011 and September 2018 for age, size, the environments where they had lived and whether they were raised in controlled settings or reproduced in the wild........

Mississippi River Shipping River Levels Better.... More Rain Needed....
Shipping officials say that the water levels along the Mississippi River are improving, however, they are not out of the woods just yet, More rainfall will be needed to maintain the higher river levels.
Barge shipping has improved, especially south of St. Louis, but officials with ag transportation company CGB Enterprises say that they are cautious looking even a few weeks ahead, noting that more rainfall is needed.
In spite of all of the challenges, they state that no matter what happens along the Mississippi River next year, they will find a way to move products to their final destinations........

Mississippi River Shipping Rail Companies Cannot Pick Up The Slack For River Shipping........
The drought and subsequent low water conditions along the Mississippi River have caused shippers that usually rely on river barges to shift to rail freight, however, decades of constricted capacity has made rail a poor choice as well.
The historic drought in the Mississippi River Basin has restricted the barge shipping industry, forcing farmers and other shippers to seek out alternatives for getting their goods and crops to port prior to winter. Many have turned to rail shipping.
The railroads, however, are ill-equipped to handle the load causing shipping prices to skyrocket while reducing the capacity. Typically barges deliver more than 60 percent of the corn and soybean exports and close to $100 billion in cargo, including fuel, grain, industrial chemicals and building materials........

Mississippi River At New Orleans, Louisiana Officials Announce $1.8 Billion Port Expansion........
On Monday, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards announced that a historic public-private partnership between the state of Louisiana, the Port of New Orleans and two global maritime industry leaders has been established to build a $1.8 billion container facility on the Lower Mississippi River.
Port NOLA estimates that the new Louisiana International Terminal in St. Bernard Parish will be capable of serving vessels of all sizes which will dramatically increase Louisiana's import/export capacity while creating over 17,000 new jobs across the state by 2050.
This project is currently in the design and permitting phase of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' environmental review process. Barring unforeseen delays, construction work is slated to start in 2025, with the first berth opening in 2028........

Missouri River Near Maryland Heights, Missouri Warehouse Project Proposed Just South Of The Missouri River.........
NorthPoint Development of Kansas City recently filed plans for the construction of close to 1.9 million square feet of storage and distribution buildings just south of the Missouri River in Maryland Heights, Missouri.
NorthPoint is calling on the city of Maryland Heights to approve rezoning the land to allow for the industrial development. According to the plans filed with Maryland Heights, NorthPoint's potential tenants are expected to mainly be in the storage and logistics sector.
This project, called 364 Logistics Center, would be at least the fourth industrial park to be constructed in the region, including another project from NorthPoint called Riverview Commerce Center that would add 1.1 million square feet........

Waterway Legislation Water Resources Development Act Passed In The House........
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the Water Resources Development Act of 2022 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. The U.S. Senate is expected to take up the measure next prior to sending it to the White House to be signed into law.
The WRDA of 2022 is a bipartisan measure that will improve ports and harbors, inland waterway navigation, flood and storm protection and water resources infrastructure across the United States.
The legislation was introduced by Representative Sam Graves, (R-MO) and Peter DeFazio (D-OR). Graves says that the WDRA 2022 is a win for all who believe flood control and navigation should be the top priorities in the management of the nation's waterways........

Lower Mississippi River Corps Takes Delivery Of New Survey Vessel........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently took delivery of the 49 foot Tobin, which was constructed by Alabama-based Silver Ships. The aluminum-hulled Tobin is a hydrographic survey vessel that will be used to map the mouth of the Mississippi River.
The Tobin is named for Thomas G. Tobin, who worked fort the Corps' New Orleans District for over 30 years as an engineer and programmer developing systems that automate the processing and mapping of daily navigation condition surveys collected.
According to Silver Ships, the mission-specific Tobin will allow researchers to accurately and effectively gather and document data on the always changing waters of the Mississippi River........

Boat Handling A Short Primer On Beaching A Boat Bow-Out........
Most times boaters in the Riverbend beach their boats bow-in to the sandbar and power off when it's time to head out. There may be some instances when you may be inclined to beach your boat bow-out, such as if there is a concern about falling river levels. BoatUS put together a short training video showing the simple technique for anchoring your boat bow-out just off the shoreline allowing for easy departure from the sandbar later on........
