Transportation Route – human habitation & settlement Project Summary Partners Site Map Activity Overview Island Construction - Granular Material ~ Mechanical Slurry System ~ Hydraulic Dredging - Access Dredging - Fines Material - Rip Rap Project Challenges Lessons Learned

EMP Background & History Pool # 8 - Environmental Management Project  Established by the 1986 Upper Mississippi River Management Act ( within 1986 Water Resources Development Act [WRDA]). Based on congressionally mandated master plan for the UMR.  Legislation created 3 major programs to last 10 years 1. Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRMP) – 1/3 of funding 2. Computerized Inventory and Analysis System (CIA) 3. Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement (HREP- EMP)Funding appropriations are provided through the USACE construction general account – 2/3 of funding  Diverse mix upland, wetland and aquatic habitats species – fish species – birds species – aquatic microinvertabrates 4.73 species – amphibians and reptiles 5.> 600 species - plants  Established by the 1986 Upper Mississippi River Management Act ( within 1986 Water Resources Development Act [WRDA]).

Goals & Objectives of Program Restore Upper Mississippi ecosystem after manmade changes to river: 3000 structures to improve transportation: 27 lock & dams, dredging, wing dams, shoreline revetments, dike fields, etc. Purpose of structures is to alter sediment deposition and channel scour to force into single navigational channel to improve transportation on river. Depths of Miss. River authorized by Congress: 4.5’ in 1878, 6’ in 1907, 9’ in Results of changes: Flooding of 1000’s acres of wetlands in front of dams(pools); Constant erosion of river due to vessel wave action Loss of island and forest habitat for wildlife, e.g. raccoons, otters, turtles, ducks, etc. Loss of fish diversity and spawning areas and loss of wintering fish habitat = loss of quantity and quality of fish Connected off-channel lakes and ponds to river – decreased fish diversity and major sedimentation Pool # 8 - Environmental Management Project Project Summary Partners Site Map Activity Overview Island Construction - Granular Material ~ Mechanical Slurry System ~ Hydraulic Dredging - Access Dredging - Fines Material - Rip Rap Project Challenges Lessons Learned
