Buzzard Island Dredged Material Beneficial Use Access Road, Upper Mississippi River, River Mile 349, Pool 20. General Design Memorandum and Environmental Assessment

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present a detailed proposal for planning, engineering, and sufficient construction details to allow real estate acquisition, final design, and construction to proceed. This project involves constructing 4,000 feet of two-lane crushed stone access road and turn around. The purpose of this road is to provide potential beneficial users access to the existing material at the Buzzard Island Dredged Material Placement Site. In the vicinity of Buzzard Island, the Mississippi River is subject to excessive sediment accumulation. A study conducted by the University of Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research in 1977 revealed that the Mississippi River flow in the Buzzard Island reach bifurcates.
