Willow Island Locks and Dam, Ohio River, Ohio and West Virginia
Construction and operation are proposed of a high-lift, non-navigable, gated dam with a main and an auxiliary lock; removal of three existing locks and dams; dredging required to utilize the new structure; and establishment of public access areas. Conversion of the pools of three low-lift dams to a single pool, will make the reach of the river compatible with other parts of the Ohio River navigation system. Adverse environmental effects include the inundation of land along the riverbank and on islands; deposition of spoil on some islands and riverside lands; and removal of some trees and shrubs along the shoreline with resultant loss of biotic habitat.
