TEN YEARS AGO, the Obama administration released new draft guidance reinterpreting the scope and definition of "waters of the United States" in the Clean Water Act; heavy rains in the lower Midwest pushed the Missouri and Ohio rivers to near-record levels; and Blank River Services christened the mv. Dave Kreutzer. TWENTY YEARS AGO, Tri-City Port in Granite City, Ill., was set to acquire the Claude Melvin Price Support Center from the U.S. Army; America's River, a project to revitalize the Dubuque, Iowa, riverfront, received a $40 million grant from Vision Iowa; and Old River Lock at Mile 304 on the Lower Mississippi River was closed to repair lock gate machinery. THIRTY YEARS AGO, Marine Inland Fabricators delivered the fleet repair vessel Work Horse to Cargo Carriers in Panama City, Fla.; Alois Luhr was elected chairman of The American Waterways Operators; and the wreck of the Civil War Union gunboat Eastport was located near Vicksburg, Miss. |
