Abstract:

Due to rapid and severe shoaling resulting from the circumstances just described, it was determined from sounding data that the navigational channel had been reduced below 9 feet. Additionally, the site has a history of not rescouring by natural means. The threat that this situation posed to commercial navigation, along with possible hazardous consequences to human life and property, warranted an emergency declaration by the Rock Island District Engineer. This declaration necessitated the use of a proposed placement site before a full NEPA assessment could be completed. This EA thus will describe the action taken and its implications for future management of dredged material in this location.
