High water and drift potential may

their wake, exercise caution and avoid laying up on levees.
Recreational traffic is
not recommended. Mariners should be experienced in high
water conditions and avoid downstreaming 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 action to
prevent breakaways. Navigational buoys may have been dragged off
station, so remain cautious while transiting.

Missouri Flood Aftermath
Federal Disaster Declaration Likely
Coming Soon........
On Thursday, Missouri Governor Mike Parson
stated that next week, he is expecting to request a federal
disaster declaration, as preliminary damage assessments indicate
flooding has had devastating effects on roads, bridges, homes
and other infrastructure.
Governor Parson stated that there isn't any
doubt that federal disaster assistance is justified to help
Missouri businesses and families recover, rebuild and keep their
communities progressing.
Parson added that damage assessments have
been conducted, or will soon be conducted in several Missouri
counties, however, continued high water levels has prevented
crews from making damage assessments in Cape Girardeau and Pike
counties........

Missouri River Management
Senators Question Corps' Missouri River
Management After Flooding........
On Wednesday, officials with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers stated that changes to the Missouri River's
management would not have prevented the damage caused by last
month's flooding.
The problem is that the six-dam reservoir
system upriver was not designed to handle the amount of water
that flowed down the Missouri River last month, breeching levees
and flooding residences and farmland.
According to Major General Scott Spellmon,
the deputy commanding general of civil and emergency operations
for the Corps, the flooding would still have occurred even if
the reservoirs were all empty........

Mississippi River Management
Corps Calls For Public Input On Master
Plan........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul
District is currently revising their Upper Mississippi River
Master Plan, and they are calling on the public to provide
comments on it.
The Master Plan is the guiding document
dictating how the Corps' federal lands are managed for
environmental and recreational stewardship. The current Master
Plan has been around since 1988, and was supplemented with a
"Land Use Plan" in 2011.
While the Master Plan doesn't involve
navigation, flood risk management, channel management or
restoration programs, Megan O'Brien, lead planner says that they
are trying to give the people who value the river an opportunity
to help form the updated plan........

News
Release From BoatUS
 SPRINGFIELD,
Va., April 18, 2019 – If you run a business that requires
recreational boaters to break out their wallet or credit card,
you’re likely ramping up efforts now to maximize the revenue
you’ll earn during the busy summer boating season. Don’t forget
the power of the BoatUS Partner Network Program that drives
boaters to more than 900 marinas and 300 other boating-related
local small businesses that offer discounts to the half-million
members of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS).
The program is now seeking applications for business partners at
BoatUS.com/Partner.
In exchange, BoatUS offers up to $250 a year simply for
including a BoatUS logo in local advertising and offers
additional marketing support online, in boating publication
advertising and in point-of-sale promotional materials.
“Our BoatUS members are very loyal, and our program gives BoatUS
Partners a way to tap into that allegiance,” said BoatUS
Membership Programs Manager David Mann. Additionally, BoatUS
Partners are eligible to receive compensation for selling $24
BoatUS annual memberships to their customers.
The most common marina discounts are on fuel, repairs and
transient slips. Tackle shops, repair facilities, sail lofts and
other businesses that cater to boaters have the flexibility to
select discounts that best fit their customers’ needs.
BoatUS’ local boating business partners gain an individual
listing on the BoatUS Member Service Locator, a custom webpage
for their business, promotion in BoatUS Magazine and other
boating and fishing publications, and a listing on the BoatUS
App to help BoatUS members choose your business over your
competition’s. Complimentary marketing supplies provided by
BoatUS include promotional materials, signs, decals and flags

John's Boat Harbor
Mississippi River at UMR 231.8
Hey Harbor Boys and Girls. It looks like it will be
about 2 weeks before we can drive into the Harbor = SO if
you want your boat de-winterized, call the office, and Pat
will take a day down at the Harbor and take care of your
boat. That way, when the river is nice, you will be ready. I
know you all hate this water situation as we do also. Not
much we can do. So sorry, but will be lots of boating left,
so hope to see you soon.
