GREAT I Study of the Upper Mississippi River. Technical Appendixes. Volume 4. Water Quality, Sediment & Erosion.

Abstract

Report 4 consists of two parts. Part A discusses the water quality impacts of dredging and shipping activities, and also water quality standards and criteria from other sources of pollution. Part B analyzes soil erosion from the Mississippi River's upland basin which settles into the backwaters and Lake Pepin. The effects of sedimentation are accelerated by the pooling effects of locks and dams.
