Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwest Pass, one of the three major outlets of the Mississippi River, is the principal navigation channel between the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans, La. At the time of the model study reported herein, it was being maintained to provide a navigation channel 35 ft deep by 800 ft wide from Head of Passes to the ends of the jetties (21.2 miles below Head of Passes) from whence a bar channel 35 ft deep by 600 ft wide extended into the Gulf. Maintenance of the channels is a continuing and expensive problem due to extensive shoaling, primarily near the ends of the jetties and to some extent throughout the entire length of the Pass. Most of the shoaling in the jetty channel occurs during time of high freshwater discharge. The model study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of proposed plans (jetty extensions and channel realignments and contractions) for the elimination or reduction of maintenance dredging in the jetty and bar channels, and effects of deepening the channels to 40 ft.

Benson and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintenance of Southwest Pass, one of the three major outlets of the Mississippi River, is a continuing and expensive problem due to extensive shoaling, primarily near the ends of the jetties and, to some extent, throughout the entire length of the pass. This report and Appendix A present the results of the model studies conducted to determine the effectiveness of proposed plans (e.g., lateral spur dikes, sediment diversion channel, sediment basin, relocation of the jetty channel, lateral spur dike extensions, and friction chambers) for the elimination or reduction of maintenance dredging in Southwest Pass and in the jetty and bar channels. Results of tests of Report 2 and Appendix A indicate some slight reductions in overall channel shoaling. Most of the test results indicate that there would be a redistribution of the shoal material in Southwest Pass; however, none of the plans tested caused movement of a significant quantity of shoal material into the Gulf.
