Navigation and Industrial Forecasts, Needs Analysis and Recommendations for the Great River Resource Management Study. GREAT III.

Abstract

The overall objective was to generate navigation and industrial forecasts; to identify physical, institutional, and regulatory constraints to barge traffic and related economic development; to translate these constraints into needs and analyze their impact; and to recommend actions that will alleviate the constraints and fill the needs. Using information from inventories and commodity forecasts, a constraint analysis and impact assessment and evaluation was performed on the following variables: channel capacity, bridges, locks, fleeting, terminals, other navigation considerations, and regulatory and legal matters. Maps showing docks, fleeting areas, flood plain boundaries, recommended development sites, and land use were produced. These maps are on file at the St. Louis District, Corps of Engineers.
