摘要：	Much-needed rain brought some relief to drought-stricken areas along the Lower Mississippi and Ohio river basins over the past week, although dredging and intermittent closures continued. The Corps of Engineers dredge Hurley was expected to arrive at Lower Mississippi Mile 838 on November 17, with a 24-hour closure to begin in the evening. Another trouble spot was at Mile 459, where the Corps dredge Jadwin planned a 12-hour closure beginning at 7 a.m. November 18, said Randy Cham-ness, co-chairman of the Lower Mississippi River Committee (LOMRC). While industry has not made any requests for heavier loading drafts, it is turning its attention to several hundred barges that have been waiting at ports, too heavy to move given current loading draft restrictions. "What everybody is focused on is trying to flush the heavier barges that have been in overdraft status through the system while we have the extra water," Chamness said. With some of the pressure off the Lower Mississippi, Chamness said those in the industry were focusing their attention on the mid-Mississippi, especially with the seasonal navigation flow reduction on the Missouri likely to impact areas south of Cairo, 111.
