Upper Mississippi River Water Level Management Program, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin

|
Location/Description
|
Construction of a series of locks and dams on the Upper Mississippi River created the 9-foot navigation channel.
Over the decades, the lock and dam system has, in general, reduced habitat diversity and resulted in a loss of aquatic vegetation on the impounded portion of the Upper Mississippi River system.
River resource management agencies and the public have expressed a growing interest in summer drawdowns of the navigation pools to promote growth of aquatic vegetation. A drawdown of Pool 8 was implemented during the summers of 2001 and 2002. Monitoring results indicate that the drawdowns were very successful in establishing aquatic vegetation. After 3 years of planning, the St. Paul District, in cooperation with the Water Level Management Task Force of the River Resources Forum, implemented a drawdown of Pool 5 in 2005.
|
|
Status
|
A minor drawdown of Pool 6 was planned for 2009, but it had to be postponed because of low river flows. It will be attempted again in 2010 using O&M funding and authority if river flows allow.
Planning for a water level management program for Pool 3 could be initiated in 2010 under the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program.
|
|
Authority
|
The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1930, which authorized the 9-foot navigation channel on the Upper Mississippi River, provides the authority for this work under O&M.
NESP was authorized in the Water Resources Development Act of 2007; it included provisions for water level management.
