Replacement of Lock and Dam 7 and Lock 8, Monongahela River, Pennsylvania
The proposal concerns modernization by complete replacement of existing river navigation facilities at Lock and Dam 7 and Lock 8, Monongahela River, Fayette and Greene Counties, Pa. Selected replacement site for Lock and Dam 7 will result in pool level increase of 15 feet, extending 2.8 miles from River Mile 82.2 to 85.0. Improvement of navigation facilities will provide measures and incentives for continuation of growth in development and expansion of waterway user industries. This is an established, urgent necessity for maintaining and increasing regional economic development by structural measures to satisfy projected future commercial navigation uses. Dredging effects related to construction activities probably will result in increased turbidity and sediment deposition for a relatively short river reach downstream of the project facility.
