| 摘要： | The St. Paul Engineer District recently awarded a $2.4 million contract to Water Works Dock & Boat Lifts Inc. of Stod-dard, Wis., to repair a Mississippi River habitat restoration project approximately 40 miles south of La Crosse, Wis., that was damaged by recent flooding events. Consecutive years of high water, including record flows in 2019, resulted in severe erosion to several islands. The islands were completely submerged for more than 90 days in 2019. In addition to the erosion, deep backwater fish habitat was also damaged due to increased sediment. The repairs include fixing the damaged islands and fish habitat. The work is anticipated to take two years to complete. The islands are located within the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. The refuge is designated a Globally Important Bird Area and a Wetland of International Importance, and it has 3.7 million visitors annually. The Harpers Slough area of the refuge is managed to establish and protect floodplain forest, emergent wetlands and backwater habitat for fish, migratory waterfowl and other native wildlife species. |
