Last week, USACE Rock Island District’s dredging crews were working below the lock at Locks and Dam 15 in Rock Island, Illinois, removing sediment from the navigation channel.

Dredging is an integral part of yearly channel maintenance to ensure the navigation industry can continue moving up and down the river.

District crews can remove up to five barges of sediment a day and this year plans to dredge 750,000 cubic yards of material.
