Book excerpt: This report is a project summary describing the preparation and conduct of a simulator experiment in tow maneuvering on the Upper Mississippi River. The experiment was designed to determine whether substantial risk reduction benefits could be achieved with some amount of additional maintenance dredging in the Upper Mississippi River. It was stimulated by concern that safety would decrease with a change in dredging policy that would effectively reduce the channel dimensions. The study was limited to a single 4.5 mile area below Wabasha, Minnesota, from mile 755.5 to 760 in low water, high flow rate conditions. Two river pilots each made twenty runs under various controlling channel dimensions: widths of 300 feet versus 400 feet and depths of 11 feet versus 13 feet. The findings clearly indicate that substantial reductions of grounding risk would result from maintaining the channel at not less than 400 foot width in bends. For the river area examined, this would require relatively modest increases in dredging, and would not require any changes in dredging regulations. This study did not fully examine effects of two way traffic or significant channel deepening.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A maneuvering model was developed, for a typical river tow, with experimentally determined hydrodynamic coefficients. The investigation included extensive model tests in both deep and shallow water, development of a method for predicting tow hydrodynamic coefficients, and simulations of two behavior as a function of channel dimensions and potential obstacles to navigation.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large river systems are valuable national resources that provide numerous benefits to travel, shipping, recreation, and fish and wildlife. However, efforts to expand one of the uses frequently come in direct conflict with one or more of the othersThis guide attempts to bring together all scientific data that are available on techniques that have been or can be used to offset or reduce the impacts of development and maintenance of Upper Mississippi River System or other large river systems. Decision makers are thus provided an objective descriptin of options now at their disposal when they attempt to weigh the merits of defects associated with a particular action.

Book Synopsis Review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Restructured Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway Feasibility Study by : National Research Council
Download or read book Review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Restructured Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway Feasibility Study written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-22 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past few years, the Corps has been working on what is known as the Restructured Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway Feasibility Study, the heart of which is a multibillion-dollar proposal to double the length of up to a dozen locks on the river. The Research Council first reviewed the feasibility study in 2001 during controversies over the accuracy of models being used by the Corps to justify lock expansion based on increased demand for barge transportation. More than 100 million tons of cargo-half of it grain destined for international markets, the other half goods such as construction materials, coal, and chemicals-are shipped along the navigation system each year. The locks, which along with dams allow barges to traverse uneven river depths, were originally designed for "tows" of barges up to 600 feet long, but the length of a typical tow has increased, forcing the Corps to look for ways to relieve congestion. The book finds the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has made good progress in broadening its proposed plan for navigation improvements on the Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway system to give greater consideration to ecological restoration. However, the plan still does not provide sufficient economic justification for expanding locks on the rivers because of flaws in the models the Corps used to predict demand for barge transportation. Little attention is paid to inexpensive, nonstructural navigation improvements that could help better manage existing levels of barge traffic. The revised plan has been usefully expanded to include many creative and potentially useful ecosystem restoration measures. These measures, however, should be more firmly grounded in river science principles and more broadly consider ways the river's ecology might affect or be affected by navigation, recreation and other uses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began an investigation of the benefits and costs of extending several locks on the lower portion of the Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway (UMR-IWW) in order to relieve increasing waterway congestion, particularly for grain moving to New Orleans for export. With passage of the Flood Control Act of 1936, Congress required that the Corps conduct a benefit-cost analysis as part of its water resources project planning; Congress will fund water resources projects only if a project's benefits exceed its costs. As economic analysis generally, and benefit-cost analysis in particular, has become more sophisticated, and as environmental and social considerations and analysis have become more important, Corps planning studies have grown in size and complexity. The difficulty in commensurating market and nonmarket costs and benefits also presents the Corps with a significant challenge. The Corps' analysis of the UMR-IWW has extended over a decade, has cost roughly $50 million, and has involved consultations with other federal agencies, state conservation agencies, and local citizens. The analysis has included many consultants and has produced dozens of reports. In February 2000, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) requested that the National Academies review the Corps' final feasibility report. After discussions and negotiations with DOD, in April 2000 the National Academies launched this review and appointed an expert committee to carry it out.
