Corps releases Environmental Impact Statement on Missouri River Commercial Dredging

The US Army Corps of Engineers has released the Environmental Impact Statement with their suggestions for commercial dredging on the Missouri River in the state of Missouri.

Here's the link to the full report:

The Corps is suggesting a 16 percent reduction in material removed from the river, mostly in the Kansas City area. Levels at St. Joseph and Waverly would increase with other locations remaining stable. The reduction is in response to the bed degradation issue in the Kansas City area.
