Southwest Pass-Mississippi River 40-Ft Channel
The paper examines the heavy high water shoaling, triggered by action of the salt-water wedge, and outlines plans to obtain the authorized 40-ft deep channel connecting the Mississippi River and the Gulf via the Southwest Pass jettied channel and across the Sea Bar entrance channel. The magnitude of the annual shoaling and the associated salt-water intrusion phenomenon, prior jetty and pile dike construction, current hopper dredge requirements to maintain 35-ft-deep ship channel, the collection of new field data, and prototype studies and model tests of various improvement schemes are described. The formulated plan for providing the authorized 40-ft-deep ship channel and reducing the burdensome annual hopper dredging requirements is presented.
