Added Sunday March 19, 2021 Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Pilot Error Responsible For Melvin Price Lock Allision........
The National Transportation Safety Board reports that pilot error was the cause of an allision that occurred on March 19, 2021, in which a tow pushed by the M/V Kevin Michael struck part of the lock chamber guide wall of the Melvin Price Locks and Dam at Alton, Illinois.
The M/V Kevin Michael was pushing a 15 barge tow downriver when the tow struck the bull nose of the upstream main lock chamber guide wall, causing the tow to come apart. Eight barges drifted into the forebay area north of gates 1 and 2 and one barge entered the open main lock chamber. seven barges drifted into gates 3 - 9.
The incident caused the closure of the lock, which delayed 10 tows. Nearby tow vessels rounded up the wayward barges. Six barges were damaged, but no injuries or pollution was reported. Total damages to the barges and the dam gates were estimated to be $1,172,227........

Following the flood of 2019, CNBC's cable television show, The Profit came to Grafton and focused on the town's recovery from the flooding. The show also stoked a feud between city officials and the owners of Grafton Harbor.
Now, the owners of Grafton Harbor, Joe and Jan DeSherlia have filed suit against Grafton's ex-mayor, Rick Eberlin, The celebrity host of The Profit, Rick Lemonis and the show's parent company, NBC Universal. The suit alleges defamation, slander, bribery and a conspiracy to bully the marina in an effort to collect ratings and riches.

Upper Missouri River Basin Missouri River Basin Runoff Forecast Lowered Again........
On April 4, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported that reservoir inflows along the Upper Missouri River were well below average during March. The March runoff total was 1.5 million acre-feet of water. This is 48 percent of average for the month.
The updated 2022 upper basin runoff forecast is 17,8 MAF, or 69 percent of average. This is about 2.6 MAF less than forecasted on March 1. The runoff forecast is based upon soil moisture, plains snowpack as well as long-term precipitation and temperature outlook.
John Remus, chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River Basin Water Management Division says that runoff is well below normal because of dry soil conditions and well below normal precipitation within the Missouri River Basin........

U.S. Coast Guard Updates Fire Extinguisher Requirements
Ensure your portable onboard fire
extinguishers meet new regulations set by the U.S. Coast
Guard that go into effect on April 20, 2022.
Many disposable fire extinguishers have the date of manufacture stamped into the bottom of the bottle. You’ll often find fire-extinguisher classification and size listed on the side of the canister. (Photos: Ted Sensebrenner/BoatUS Foundation)
In a nutshell, if any disposable (nonrechargeable) fire extinguisher has a date of manufacture stamped on the bottle and it is older than 12 years, the extinguisher is now considered "expired," must be removed from service, and replaced. Additionally, while the new regulation doesn’t change the type (U.S. Coast Guard-rated), quantity, or requirement for fire extinguishers aboard, it does specify the minimum Underwriters Laboratories (UL) classification of extinguishers to be carried aboard certain vessels, depending on the boat’s model year. This is the result of phasing out older B-I and B-II labels for newer 5-B, 10-B and 20-B classifications.

Illinois Fishing News Redneck Fishing Tourney Founder Inducted Into Illinois Conservation HOF........
On April 6, Betty DeFord, the founder of the Redneck Fishing Tournament, was inducted into the Illinois Conservation Foundation's Hall of Fame for raising awareness of the dangers of Asian carp..
DeFord started the Redneck Fishing Tournament along a channel of the Illinois River near Bath, Illinois in 2005. Poles and hooks are not allowed. Participants arm themselves with nets and head out onto the river in motorboats. the engine noise prompts the silver carp to leap out of the water, and hopefully, into the nets.
DeFord says that it is quite an honor to receive this recognition. She adds that the event has always been a community event. Due to health issues, DeFord is stepping away from the tournament, however, thanks to the efforts of organizers, the Redneck Fishing Tournament will live on........

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers NMMA Calls For More Corps Funding........
Last month, officials released their Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which outlines many budget priorities and funding initiatives starting on June 2022 through June 2023, including funding for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The budget proposal cut the Corps' recreational operation and management budget by over $50 million at a time that participation in outdoor recreation is seeing record numbers across the nation.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association has long advocated for adequate funding for the Corps' historically under-funded recreation budget, as the Corps is the main resource manager of the nation's water-based recreation areas........

Upper Missouri River Valley Runoff Inflow Into Upper Missouri River Reservoirs Remain Lower Than Forecasted........
On Monday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported that the inflows into the Upper Missouri River Basin Reservoirs above Sioux City, Iowa were all below average during March.
March runoff was 1.5 million acre-feet of water. This is 48 percent of average for the month of March. The Updated 2022 upper basin runoff forecast is 17.8 MAF, or 69 percent of average. This is down approximately 2.6 MAF from the March 1 runoff forecast.
John Remus, chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River Basin Water Management Division says that the runoff is well below normal, and this is because of dry soil conditions and well-below normal precipitation throughout the entire Missouri River Basin........

Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri Crews Dangle From Helicopter For Power Line Installation........
On Monday, crewmembers were alternating between tethering to a tower and tethering to a helicopter as part of a project to string power lines across the Mississippi River just south of St. Louis.
Crews have already removed the old power transmission lines spanning the Mississippi River between Dupo, Illinois and Lemay, Missouri. Their next project is stabilizing the lines and installing visual markers on the lines.
Suzanne Pohlman, the Amren Transmission Project Manager says that the project is vital to Amren customers, as the infrastructure in that area was installed during the 1950s. She adds that when the project is wrapped up in July, the system will be more reliable........

Upper Mississippi River The First Tow Of 2022 Got Stuck In Lake Pepin Ice........
On March 20th, the M/V W Red Harris, which originated in St. Louis, Missouri. was pushing nine barges into Lake Pepin to start the 2022 Upper Mississippi River Navigation season, when it got stuck in the ice.
Lake Pepin is the last place the ice melts away in the springtime, as it is the widest, and therefore, slowest flowing section of the Mississippi River. As of March 16th, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District measured 20 inches of ice remained on the lake. Tows can usually break through 12 to 15 inches of ice.
Luckily, the M/V Aubrey B Harwell was in the region, and was able to drop it's tow with another vessel, and head upriver to cut a path through the ice for the M/V W. Red Harris........

The demolition work at the former Ohio River Locks and Dams 52 and 53 in southern Illinois is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The landside demolition was wrapped up on 2021, however, the demolition of the river structures is taking longer.

Boat Maintenance The Top 5 Reasons Boats Sink In The Spring........
It is a sad fact that many boats sink each spring shortly after being launched for the season. Boats also sink while being safely tied up tot he dock, which turns what should be a happy time of the year into a miserable mess.
BoatUS' Seaworthy magazine pours over the BoatUS marine insurance claims files in order to identify accident trends or lessons to be learned, has determined the top five reasons for springtime boat sinkings, and has developed a free Spring Commissioning Checklist to help boaters start off the season correctly.
The top 5 reasons boats sink in the springtime are: ○ Missing or damaged hose clamps ○ unsecured engine hoses ○ Spring rainfall ○ Broken sea strainer ○ Leaking Stuffing Box

Savannah River Near Savannah, Georgia 19 Cannons Unearthed In River Dredging Project........
Approximately 13 months ago, a dredging crew from Weeks Marine recovered three cannons, an anchor and a timber while dredging in the Old Fort Jackson location along the Savannah River near Savannah, Georgia.
The discovery was not unexpected in Savannah, considering that the town has played a major role in the maritime history of the United States, dating all the way back to Savannah's founding in 1733
During the year that followed, from February 2021 and February 2022, a total of 19 cannons have been recovered from the area. The original three cannon were brought up by the clamshell dredge, the others were recovered with the help of lift bags........

Lake Of The Ozarks Angler Caught Massive Paddlefish, Set New State Record........
On Friday, March 18, 2022, Jim Dain got aboard his boat to do a little paddlefish snagging on the Lake of the Ozarks. Little did he know that a record-setting prehistoric monster would end up in his boat at the end of the day.
Dain says that he spent at least 20 minutes battling the paddlefish before getting the fish into the boat. Upon arriving back at the boat ramp, Steven Henson, the Missouri state record holder for river carpsucker, happened to be in the area and suggested Dain get in touch with the MDC.
After weighing in, Dain's monster paddlefish tipped the scale at 140 pounds, 10 ounces, breaking the previous state record by one ounce. That record was set in 2015 on Table Rock Lake........

Burpo's On The Loop Update Mobile To St. Louis....
01 April Update:
Stayed in Paducah Kentucky last night at the city marina. Called to make a reservation and they gladly took my money. They failed to tell me there is no water or electric at the dock so we we’re basically anchored at a Doc on the Tennessee. I will be calling them in the morning. Today we are trying to make it to Little diversion Creek which is approximately 100 miles, 50 miles down the Ohio, and 50 miles up the Mississippi. There is one lock on the Ohio so it will be a long day
Forgot to add, it is 35 degrees this morning so we will be driving from the lower helm with the generator running

Lake Of The Ozarks MoDOT Hopes To Reopen Bagnell Dam Bridge In Mid-April........
In September of 2021, the Missouri Department of Transportation started working on rehabilitating the bridge that sits above the Bagnell Dam with the expectation that the project world be completed by the end of the year. As crews dug into the project, they found more deterioration than was expected.
MoDOT Engineer Chris Graham says that when the existing driving surface was removed, the engineers found that the original road deck beneath was in very poor shape.
This resulted in additional demolition and concrete work than they had originally planned. The challenging part of the project is the weather, as the temperatures must be above 35 degrees to place it. Graham says that they are hoping to have the project completed by mid April........

River Destinations Cumberland River Near Smithland, Kentucky Sunken Barge Closed Southbound Channel........
On March 18th, the majority of southbound traffic along the Cumberland River between the Ohio River and the Barkley Lock and Dam was shut down for close to a week after a barge loaded with rocks ran aground and sank at the 2.6 Mile Marker just downstream from Smithland, Kentucky.
The channel was slated to reopen by March 27th, and until then, only light boat traffic was allowed by the U.S. Coast Guard. Northbound traffic was not affected.
The M/V Lemont Trader, owned by the Canal Barge Company, was pushing 10 loaded rock barges downstream when the starboard lead barge ran aground. Since it was loaded with rock, the barge was fractured.......

Burpo's On The Loop Update Mobile To St. Louis....
01 April Update:
Stayed in Paducah Kentucky last night at the city marina. Called to make a reservation and they gladly took my money. They failed to tell me there is no water or electric at the dock so we we’re basically anchored at a Doc on the Tennessee. I will be calling them in the morning. Today we are trying to make it to Little diversion Creek which is approximately 100 miles, 50 miles down the Ohio, and 50 miles up the Mississippi. There is one lock on the Ohio so it will be a long day
Forgot to add, it is 35 degrees this morning so we will be driving from the lower helm with the generator running

Lake Of The Ozarks MoDOT Hopes To Reopen Bagnell Dam Bridge In Mid-April........
In September of 2021, the Missouri Department of Transportation started working on rehabilitating the bridge that sits above the Bagnell Dam with the expectation that the project world be completed by the end of the year. As crews dug into the project, they found more deterioration than was expected.
MoDOT Engineer Chris Graham says that when the existing driving surface was removed, the engineers found that the original road deck beneath was in very poor shape.
This resulted in additional demolition and concrete work than they had originally planned. The challenging part of the project is the weather, as the temperatures must be above 35 degrees to place it. Graham says that they are hoping to have the project completed by mid April........

River Destinations Cumberland River Near Smithland, Kentucky Sunken Barge Closed Southbound Channel........
On March 18th, the majority of southbound traffic along the Cumberland River between the Ohio River and the Barkley Lock and Dam was shut down for close to a week after a barge loaded with rocks ran aground and sank at the 2.6 Mile Marker just downstream from Smithland, Kentucky.
The channel was slated to reopen by March 27th, and until then, only light boat traffic was allowed by the U.S. Coast Guard. Northbound traffic was not affected.
The M/V Lemont Trader, owned by the Canal Barge Company, was pushing 10 loaded rock barges downstream when the starboard lead barge ran aground. Since it was loaded with rock, the barge was fractured.......
