Book Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate channel management in pool 5 on the Mississippi River, from Lock and Dam 5 at river mile 738.2 upstream to Lock and Dam no. 4 at river mile 752.8. Study efforts focused on measures to reduce the frequency of dredging problem areas, preventive maintenance, and using dredged material to construct islands habitat purposes. No significant navigation problems were identified aside from channel shoaling in the mid-pool reach. There has been significant decline in fish and wildlife habitat in the lower portion of pool 5 due primarily to loss of islands, sand sediments in backwater habitats, decline in aquatic vegetation and a reduction in bathymetric diversity. The primary restoration measure is the construction of five small islands in lower Belvidere Slough area using channel maintenance dredged material. Wing dam notching will also improve fish habitat.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate channel management in pool 3 and upper pool 4 on the Mississippi River. The study area is from the head of Lake Pepin upstream to Look and Dam 2 at Hastings, MN. A lateral current problem below Lock and Dam 2 might be solved by extending the lower guard wall, but this would need further study. Shoaling problems were identified in the Big River reach, and shoaling and associated channel maintenance requirements are needed at river miles 799-803. Restoration of 4 wing dams at river mile 805 is recommended to reduce shoaling. Fish habitat benefits will be achieved through notching 18 wing dams and partial removal of another. The notches are designed to promote the formation of scour holes and channels to improve bathymetric diversity. Construction of a new spot dike at Carter Slough (river mile 807.3) is recommended to prevent habitat degradation occurring as a result of a bypass of the existing spot dike, and to assure the long term integrity of pool 3.
