Some Highlights of This Week's

LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS

District 8 MRS UPDATED September 15, 2021

Mississippi River System

MISSISSIPPI RIVER

MILE 183.2 - BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
Merchants Railroad Bridge; A 24-hour blockage of the channel for the removal of the old main navigation (Illinois) span has been scheduled for September 14, 2021. A second 24-hour blockage will occur September 17, 2021, to install the new span. These dates are dependent upon weather and river conditions encountered between now and the dates noted.

ILLINOIS RIVER

MILE 157.7 - INVASIVE CARP DETERRENCE
The USACE Rock Island District, and the Engineer Research and Development Center, are planning to test invasive carp deterrence technology at the Peoria Lock and Dam on the Illinois River, Mile 157.7. Work is planned for November 3 and 4, 2021, from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., each day. Navigation will be closed during installation and while testing is conducted. These timeframes are subject to change based upon river conditions. Safety testing consists of passing loaded barges over a line of air bubbles to determine the effect it has on the handling and maneuverability of the tow. Multiple runs would be conducted over an approximate 30-day period. Quantitative variables of interest include speed, yaw and lateral movement of the barge resulting from the continuous release of air from the air line. The study would be conducted mainly during daylight hours, when the wicket gates are up (impounding water in the Peoria Pool). The purpose of the test is to evaluate navigation safety when using bubbles to remove small invasive carp (silver and bighead carp) from the rake-box junction of a barge tow. This action involves the temporary installation of an anchored airline, in the downstream lock approach channel (see map, Enclosure 1). The airline will be attached to a series of metal frames to hold it on the bottom using the weight of the frame to hold it in place. It is approximately 210 feet long, perforated with a series of nozzles spaced 8 feet apart that will release air to create a column of bubbles along the length of the line. Air will be fed through a hose from a diesel-powered air compressor located on the Peoria Lock and Dam Project grounds. The hose would be routed from the surface through recesses in the lock approach wall to avoid interference with navigation. The air pressure within the hose will vary with each test parameter. Weights will hold the hose to the bottom between the ladder recess to the bubbler array. The airline and metal frames would be installed and removed using a barge mounted lift crane before and after testing. Mariners are urged to exercise caution in the area.

MISSOURI RIVER -

WATERWAYS ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STUDY
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a Waterways Analysis and Management System (WAMS) study of the Missouri River from the confluence of the Mississippi River (Missouri River Mile 0.0 to Mile 732.3), in the vicinity of Sioux City, MO. The study focuses on the area’s aids to navigation
system, waterborne commerce, marine casualty information, port/harbor resources, emergency response plans, routine and emergency communication capabilities, and future development projects. Any interested company or individual wishing to provide comments or participate in a user survey should do so by September 28, 2021. The survey is available at: https://forms.gle/Y5Mm2iKWq7AJsvx7A
Questions on the study can be directed to: SUMRWaterways@uscg.mil.

River History....

21 September 2015 in River History

Navy Vet, Chris Ring, swam into St. Louis and got out at the St. Louis Arch. Chris and his kayak boat arrived at the arch about 5pm, escorted by two St. Louis fireboats.

There were about 30 people awaiting his arrival, including three Gold Star Families. Lots of flags and all the news crews. Chris spent time visiting with each Gold Star family, looked at pictures of their fallen loved ones and embraced them all.

Chris was attempting to be the first American to swim the entire length of the Mississippi River for our Fallen Vets.

Chris continued on his journey swimming down the river and completed his swim of the entire length of the Mississippi River on Dec. 4, 2015.

Mississippi River At Houma, Louisiana

The Delta Queen Sustained Damage From Hurricane Ida.........

While the Delta Queen did not sustain major structural damage from Hurricane Ida, the heavy winds did cause some damage. The Delta Queen Steamboat Company announced on September 15th that the floating National Historic Landmark endured winds in excess of 150 MPH for over an hour.

Hurricane Ida's winds tore away the waterproofing membrane on the roof as well as several sections of hand railing along the stern. About a dozen windows were broken and several doors were damaged.

The shore power connections that bring electricity to the Delta Queen were destroyed and the boarding stage was severely damaged. The company added that the Delta Queen held up well, all things considered, and she is a true testimony to the Quality of her builder's craftsmanship more than 90 years ago.........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois

Alton Marina, Boaters Begin Winterization........

Summer is winding down, and boaters, as well as the staff at the Alton Marina are beginning to take care of some of the end-of-season tasks, including winterizing the marina and boats.

Greg Brown, the Harbormaster at the Alton Marina has worked for the marina since 2013 and served in many roles along the Mississippi River since 1975. He says that not winterizing is not an option.

Brown and his crew will need to drain the marina's pool and add antifreeze to the pool's plumbing. They will also have to blow out the marina's irrigation system, the plumbing system under the docks as well as the two waste pumps........

Fall Colors

Where and When Illinois' Fall Colors Will Peak........

For many people, checking out the changing colors of the foliage is a favorite fall activity. The only question is when will the fall color change will peak in the Midwest.

The crew over at SmokyMountains.com have updated their predictive fall foliage map in order to give leaf peepers a better way to plan their color watching excursions.

The 2021 Fall Foliage Prediction Map indicates that northern Illinois will begin to see a minimal amount of color change by this week. Over the coming week, the northern reaches of Illinois will see a lot more color, and the leaves in central and southern Illinois will begin to change........

Fall Colors Predictions

Missouri

Missouri Department of Conservation foresters update "Fall Color" reports weekly from mid-September through early-November.

The peak of fall color in Missouri is usually around mid-October. This is when maples, ashes, oaks, and hickories are at the height of their fall display. Normally by late October, the colors are fading and the leaves beginning to drop from the trees. Fall color is usually finished by the middle of November.

St. Louis Region:
Status... Not Started
Over much of the region, there is minimal color change so far, although some scattered color can be seen in some dogwoods, cherry, and black walnut as well as vines and shrubs like Virginia creeper and sumacs. A warm and wet fall color season tends to reduce the intensity of fall color, but it’s early, and things can change dramatically. Warm, dry days and cool nights will provide us with the most brilliant fall color.

The event is hosted by the U. S.

Mississippi River Shipping

Grain Exports Halted Temporarily by Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas........

Over the past two weeks, the one-two punch of Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas have slowed or stopped grain exports from ports located in Texas and Louisiana.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that barged grain for the week ending August 28 had decreased 28 percent from the previous week and 69 percent from a year ago due to hurricane preparation.

After Hurricane Ida passed on September 4th, the Mississippi River was reopened relatively quickly to river traffic, albeit with restrictions. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is open, however, traffic is slowed........

Boston Whaler Celebrates 50 Years Of The Outrage........

Boston Whaler recently celebrated 50 years of manufacturing their Outrage model with a celebration in Quincy, Massachusetts. The event included the display of the first Outrage ever built and their new 420 model.

Outrage Hull No. 001 is owned by the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Boston Whaler founder Richard Fisher sold the 21 foot Outrage to the Marine Biological Laboratory in 1971, where it and three other Boston Whalers conduct their studies.

David Remsen, director of marine operations for the Marine Biological Laboratory says that the vessel has been constantly operating since 1971. He adds that the boat has been used as a workboat, it hasn't been pampered........
