Illinois River
The purpose of this Hydraulic Sediment Response (HSR) Model study was to evaluate various design alternatives intended to reduce or eliminate repetitive channel maintenance dredging between RM 78.0 to 76.0.
The goals of this study were to:
- Design of river structures that significantly reduce or eliminate the need for
repetitive channel maintenance dredging between RM 80.0 and 74.5. - Design of river structures that significantly reduce or eliminate the need for
repetitive channel maintenance dredging between RM 80.0 and 74.5. - Ensure that any structures recommended by this report either maintains or
improves existing environmental conditions present between RM 80.0 and 74.5.
