Material dredged from the Mississippi River-bed near Read’s Landing, Minn., is hydraulically pumped nearly a mile from the Dredge Goetz to the top of a temporary disposal site. The dredge – one of five dredging operations working on the Upper Mississippi River from St. Paul to Guttenberg, Iowa – will next move a few miles downstream as the district works to keep the navigation channel open for commercial tows, a high priority task given the amount of sediment moved into the channel due to spring flooding.
