Upper Mississippi River System Environmental Management Program Definite Project Report (R-7F) with Integrated Environmental Assessment, Lake Chautauqua.

Abstract

The goals for this project are the enhancement of waterfowl and fishery habitats. In order to accomplish these goals, the following design objectives were identified: (1) increase submergent and emergent vegetation (2) create flowing side channel and deepwater slough habitat; and (3) reduce sedimentation. Five alternatives were considered to meet the stated objectives: (A) no Federal action, (B) improve water control, (C) construct barrier islands, (D) excavate flowing side channel, and (E) raise levee elevations.
