River project restoring Pool 10 islands

John Henderson (foreground) has managed numerous other restoration projects, including McGregor Lake near Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Raylene Hylland, a project manager on the Pool 10 project, surveys the island with Henderson during a visit in mid-September.

According to the Corps of Engineers, the scope of the Lower Pool 10 project does not require the relocation of any endangered species, even though the area hosts populations of Higgins eye mussels and bald eagles. The project has to work around the bald eagles’ fledgling season and when migrating birds come through the area.

Various construction equipment is already on the water, moving material to different parts of Island 25, including morookas (pictured), bulldozers and cranes.

The islands feature various preventative measures, such as rock walls and land shelves, to decrease the effects of erosion, wind fetch and other elements that have led to the weathering of the island habitats in Pool 10.
