| Abstract: | The five islands addressed in this project are located in Upper Mississippi River Pools 25 and 26, and lie about 50 to 100 miles northwest of St. Louis, MO. Howard Island and an adjacent unnamed island occur in Pool 25 near Annada, MO at river mile 261. Westport Island is located in Pool 25 near Elsberry, MO between river miles 258 and 254. Dardenne and Bolter Islands are located in Pool 26 near St. Peters, MO at river miles 228 and 224. The proposed project consists of three components to improve terrestrial and aquatic habitats on several islands in Pools 25 and 26 of the Upper Mississippi River: 1) planting of tree and shrub seedlings to reforest portions of abandoned agricultural fields, 2) improving the connection between the river and island interior sloughs by removing sediments from small natural channels, and 3) improving water depth in interior sloughs by installing a water control structure and creating a deep hole. The project location and proposed features are displayed on separate drawings. |
