Channel Condition Status Report - 05 June 2013
US
Army Corps of Engineers
St.
Louis District - Weekly Navigation Channel Condition
Dredge Status
Dredge Potter - dockside
UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER/ILLINOIS WATERWAY - SAFETY ZONE - UPDATE
Zone 28 (Mile 185.4 – Mile 109.9). A Safety Zone has been established in St.
Louis Harbor between Mile 184.0 and 179.0. Southbound tows greater than 600
feet in length, excluding the towboat, should limit their transit to
daylight hours and should have a minimum of 250-horsepower for each loaded
barge. Northbound tows must have enough horsepower to maintain a speed of
3-mph, while transiting through all St. Louis Harbor Bridges. All towing
vessels are prohibited from carrying barges on the hip. Assess bridge
clearance well in advance, pre-identify lay-up areas in the event of a river
closure. The COTP recommends that towing vessels have a pilot onboard with
experience in high water, similar size tows and all St. Louis Bridges.
Recreational traffic is prohibited from transiting within this zone. Towboat
operators should be experienced in high water operations and should proceed
at their slowest safe operating speed based upon prevailing conditions in
order to minimize wake damage. Towboats are prohibited from laying up on
levees. For additional information, please see the Local Notice To Mariners
below:

Illinois
Boating Legislation
Tougher Boating Laws May Be Coming........
Illinois
Governor Pat Quinn is considering signing a bill that would
grant the authorities the right to suspend a boater's driver's
license if they're caught boating under the influence of drugs
or alcohol. A first time offender that declines to take a
sobriety test may lose their license for a year. A first time
offender that fails a sobriety test would only lose their
license for six months. The Governor only has until the end of
July to sign the bill........

HIGH WATER SALE
Unfortunately, it appears we won’t be getting that dry spring
that was anticipated. Instead, we have received more rain than
we need. This has put a damper on an early season boating, but
there is a “silver lining” to this delay.
During this high water, Bloch Marine Service remains operational
at its Polestar Marina and Yacht Club of Saint Louis locations,
and continues to have service capabilities at our Harbor Point
location and other marinas such as Alton Marina and Grafton
Harbor. In an effort to save you precious boating time when the
water goes down, and to save you money, Bloch Marine is offering
“high water” discounts as follows
-
If it if feasible to get to your
boat, and a pullout is required for the work you
request, the pullout portion of your service bill will be
at no charge. This includes a credit of $6.00/per foot
on our bottom paint special package. (Boats weighing 30 tons
or less/fiberglass and aluminum only.)
-
We will also apply a 10% discount to labor
(excluding bottom paint special labor).
These discounts will apply if the work is
ordered by you when the water level at the Grafton gauge is
above 22.0 feet during this current high water event.
We know the high water is discouraging, but it won’t last
forever, and this is an opportunity for you to take advantage of
an otherwise unfortunate situation.
Give us a call today and schedule that work you have been
putting off, and you can save on downtime and money!

Lake Of The Ozarks
Men Injured As Car Crashes In The Lake........
Early Sunday
morning, two men were injured when their car crashed into the
Lake of the Ozarks. The Missouri State Highway Patrol stated
that at 2:30 am, Charles Ferry and Cody Taylor were driving
southbound on Highway F in a 2003 Volkswagen Beetle, when the
vehicle struck a barrier marking the end of the roadway. The
Beetle went down an embankment, and ended up partially submerged
in the Lake. Both men were injured, Taylor seriously. The men
were taken to the hospital........

Missouri
Department of Conservation
Frog Days of Summer Begin June 30th
JEFFERSON
CITY, Mo. — Celebrate summer with a favorite outdoor pastime for many
Missourians -- frogging season. It begins at sunset on June 30 and ends Oct.
31.
Frogging can be practiced with either a fishing permit or a hunting permit.
The Wildlife Code of Missouri allows those with a fishing permit to take
frogs by hand, hand net, atlatl, gig, bow, trotline, throw line, limb line,
bank line, jug line, snagging, snaring, grabbing or pole and line. With a
hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rifle
or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net. The
use of an artificial light is permitted when frogging.
Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents over the age of 65 are
not required to have a permit.
Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog.
Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after, but the legs of both
species are delicious. The taste and texture of frog meat is similar to that
of fresh-water fish.
The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined. Catch eight frogs
before midnight, and start frogging again at 12:01 a.m. to catch another
day’s limit. However, it is not legal to possess more than one day’s limit
while on the water and banks where daily limits apply. The possession limit
allows you to store no more than 16 frogs at a time.
Once a frog is speared, it must be harvested. The Wildlife Code of Missouri
prohibits the release of a speared frog as “wanton waste” because the animal
is not likely to recover. Any frog taken into actual possession, unless
immediately released unharmed after being caught, is included in the daily
limit.
For more information on frogging, including methods, conservation areas to
hunt them, recipes, and regulations, go online to mdc.mo.gov/node/15122

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
US Coast Guard Auxiliary Safe
Boating Class Schedule Change
Flotilla 3-13 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
will be offering the “About Boating Safety” course at
Grafton City Hall in June. The course runs on 2
consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 AM till 1:00 PM. We
regret to announce that due to flooding conditions, the
previously scheduled May 4 and May 11 class must be
cancelled. We encourage interested parties to register
as soon as possible for the
June classes to
be held June 22 and June 29.
Course Preregistration is necessary. Sign up or for more
information by dropping by Grafton Harbor, or calling
Jan at 618-786-7678 or by contacting Mark at msz@charter.net
or cell phone number 314-515-4280.
Boater Education Saves Lives
Missouri’s Mandatory Boater Education Law requires that
every Missouri resident born after January 1, 1984 who
operates a vessel on Missouri lakes must carry a boating
safety identification card issued by the State Water
Patrol and a valid photo ID. This includes personal
watercraft like Jet-Skis. The Boating Safety ID Card
indicates successful completion of a boating safety
education course. Illinois and many other states have
similar requirements.
Successful completion of this course will not only earn
the Boating Safety ID Card, but will also give you
invaluable information which will help you to remain
safe on the water. Whether you are required by law to
take the course or not, Boating Safety Education will
help you be a better, safer boater. Insurers recognize
this and most offer a discount on your insurance for
completing the course.
To learn more about boater education, Vessel Safety
Checks and other services provided by the Coast Guard
Auxiliary – or if you are interested in learning how to
become one of us – please visit us online at
www.uscgauxflotilla3-13.org or contact us at
