摘要：	The mv. Melba L. Engemann, operated by Missouri River Towing, which is owned by Hermann Sand & Gravel Inc., took the last southbound tow of nine barges carrying soybeans from Omaha, Neb., to close out this year's navigation season on the Missouri River before the Corps of Engineers restricted water flow from the Gavins Point reservoir. The flow support season ended three days early, on November 28, at the mouth of the Missouri River. Release reductions to the winter rate of 12,000 cubic feet per second (from 30,000 cfs) were scheduled beginning November 19. Releases were gradually reduced by 3,000 cfs. each day until reaching a rate of 15,000 cfs. Releases were then paused before stepping down 1,000 cfs. every five days to the winter release rate. Fort Randall releases were stepped down in a similar manner, approximately one day prior to the Gavins Point reductions. Afterward, the Melba L. Engemann might be available for spot charter work on the Mississippi River, according to Steven Engemann, president of family-owned Hermann Sand & Gravel. Although Missouri River Towing focuses on the Missouri River, it operates on all of the western rivers.
