Reader Commentary........
Ahoy Bill,
Perhaps the thanks for a job well done don't flow your way often
enough. However, consider this my thanks to you for keeping your
website up and running with relevant and entertaining postings.
Each morning I click on to get my daily update on all things
related to river happenings. With all that is going on currently
it sure is great to relax with a cup of coffee and let you guide

Mississippi River Flood Mitigation
Public/Private Group Offers Bonds For
Flood Mitigation Funding........
Early this month, members of the Mississippi
River Cities & Towns Initiative announced the creation of a new
public/private financing tool that will assist river communities
with handling problems brought about by more frequent flooding.
The MRCTI teamed up with Quantified Ventures
to form the Environmental Impact Bond Challenge, with the
support of the McKnight and Walton Family Foundations.
An EIB is an outcome-based financing tool
that offers funding up-front for innovative environmental
programs, either to guide a new method that has yet to be
proven, or to ramp up solutions that have bees tested on a small
scale. Private investors will pay for the up-front costs.
If the project succeeds, the city or public
agency will repay the private investors. If the project fails,
the public entity is reportedly protected by it's creditors by
taking on only carefully vetted projects, or projects that have
been proven on a small scale.
Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana
are the first two winners of the Environmental Impact Bond
Challenge........

Down-streaming operations are not recommended unless the vessel
is equal to or greater than 75 feet in length and the vessel has
a minimum of 1,800 h.p. Towboat operators should use caution,
minimize wake where possible, and be experienced in high water
operations. Mariners should remain vigilant to an increase in
debris in the water and maneuver appropriately. Be aware that a
buildup of debris in fleeting areas may have occurred and take
appropriate action to prevent any breakaways from occurring. Use
caution in all passing and meeting situations and be mindful of
all charted bridge navigational clearances. Buoys may have been
dragged off station so remain cautious while transiting. Towing
vessels are advised to favor the center of the channel and
proceed at their slowest safe operating speed, based on
prevailing conditions, to minimize wake damage to personal
property. Down-streaming operations are not recommended.

and avoid down-streaming operations if possible. Mariners should
remain vigilant to an increase in debris and maneuver
appropriately. Be aware that a buildup of debris in fleeting
areas may have occurred and take appropriate actions to prevent
breakaways. Exercise caution in all meeting and overtaking
situations, as swift currents may be present. Navigational buoys
may have been dragged off station, so remain cautious while
transiting.

exercise caution, minimize wake where possible and be
experienced in high water operations as extreme high water and
drift may be experienced. Exercise caution when down-streaming,
be aware of bridge clearances prior to transit and favor the
center of the channel. Mariners should pre-identify suitable
lay-up areas in the event of a river closure and avoid laying up
on levees. Fleeting areas should have a towboat attend fleets at
all times and have a breakaway plan in place. Aids to navigation
may have been dragged off station, damaged or destroyed, so
remain cautious while transiting.

Mississippi River Flood Outlook
AccuWeather Forecasts Areas With
Highest Likelihood Of Flooding........
During last year's historic flooding, an
estimated $12.5 million in total damages and economic losses.
AccuWeahter's long range forecast is predicting moderate to
possible severe flooding for the Midwest portion of the nation.
According to AccuWeather's Lead Long-Range
Meteorologist Paul Pastelok, flood risks are expected to
continue along the Lower Mississippi River region. He says that
the saturated ground and more rainfall can cause flooding into
early summertime.
Other parts of the nation will be avoiding
the types of flooding that occurred last year because of a
milder winter. The flooding along the Mississippi River was
mostly driven by heavy snowmelt and excessive rainfall across
the northern plains........

History....
March 28, 2012 in River History
A carpenter working on the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge in downtown
St. Louis plunged to his death in the river when a barge-mounted lift
toppled. The employee was working on pilings from a boom lift that was
placed on a secured barge. The mobile piece of equipment was not secured to
the barge and tipped over into the water taking the employee in the boom
with it. His body was found attached to the lift. OSHA cited the three
general contractors and the subcontractor for three violations totaling
$15,300.

Mississippi River Near New Orleans,
Louisiana
Flooding Still A Threat Despite Falling
River Levels........
While the Mississippi River at New Orleans,
Louisiana is continuing to fall, there is still a serious threat
of flooding across approximately a third of the nation.
Last week, the river fell below 15 feet at
the Carrollton gauge. With the decrease in river levels, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has lifted the ban on working near
the levees and reduced the levee inspections from once per day
to twice per week.
Weather forecasters are predicting heavy
rainfall for the Mississippi River Valley north of Louisiana.
This could pose a threat of flooding for Louisiana........

As everyone is aware, Governor Pritzker
has issued an order that all Bars & Restaurants must discontinue
dine in services, effective 3/17/2020 through a minimum of
3/30/2020. At this time, Bluff City Grill will remain closed
without curbside or delivery services. We are working with our
employees to assist them in this difficult time in as many ways
as we can. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause any
of our valued patrons. We plan to take this down time to ensure
all our staff members are taking the necessary precautions to
help slow/stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In the
meantime, we are taking on a few projects & using this time to
be productive to complete a few projects to improve our
facility. If the ban continues further than 3/30/2020 we will
revisit the idea of curbside services & keep everyone informed
on that decision. We truly appreciate everyone’s support during
this trying time & ask everyone to come together as a community.
Please support our community’s small businesses & practice the
guidelines the CDC & WHO has recommended to help end this
pandemic. Stay Safe & Stay Healthy!

We received a call today from the U.S. Coast Guard advising us
that all passengers will be required to stay in their vehicles

effect until the restrictions are lifted.
We are cleaning and disinfecting all crew areas and all ferry
passes as we receive them.
Starting tomorrow 03/21/2020 we will be reducing our hours to
eliminate the late night shift on Friday and Saturday. This will
remain in effect until the restrictions are lifted. Hours will
be Monday through Saturday 5am to 9pm and Sunday 8am to 9pm.
We will all get through this together by working together for a
better tomorrow. Stay safe!

some alternative means of interacting with us as well – for both
purchasing products (from parts to a new boat) and for your
service needs.
If you’d like to shop any new or used inventory with us with
minimized social interaction, we can schedule individual
appointments or send you a virtual video tour of a unit. You can
always shop our inventory on our website as well, at
www.stcharlesboat.com. We currently have some huge discounts
on our in stock inventory! If you’re interested in a private
appointment, please e-mail us at zeke@stcharlesboat.com or you
can call us at 636-947-0106 during normal business hours.
For your service needs, we can schedule a touchless drop off and
pick-up with you. For touchless drop off or pick-up, e-mail
Jerry at jerry@stcharlesboat.com or Zeke at zeke@stcharlesboat.com
for scheduling and instructions.
We realize that this too will pass and we can return to a more
normal routine, which means getting back to boating for many of
us!
We will keep our customer’s updated by posting on our
website and
Facebook page.

Hi Bill,
They are diligently working to get things in order. The have
been working long hours trying to get the building in shape,
lots of painting and cleaning. It is going to happen, however
they are a bit behind because of Illinois paperwork. I expect an
opening sometime in March. They are keeping the name "Fat Boys".
