The dredge piping has arrived at the Marina, and work to begin laying it in place will begin on Tuesday March 9th. The company that is doing the work will be fusing together and laying out over 2000 feet of the pipe.

The pipe will carry the removed silt along the bottom of the river, so that it can be discharged on the Missouri side(per our permit). It will take about two full weeks for the pipe to be assembled and put in place. The dredge boat will arrive around the 20th, and the work begins! We will update you as things move along!
