Contracting on the Mighty Mo
Over the past five years, the shores of the Missouri River
sustained extensive damage from rapid snow melt and recordbreaking rainfall. The damage to the Mighty Mo stretches
from St. Louis, MO to Helena, MT. The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers manages the river and is tasked to keep this big and
beautiful river as healthy as possible.

As you might expect, repairing the Mighty Mo requires unique
contracting methods. L.G. Everist, Inc. is currently supplying
quartzite rip rap to a project on Fawn Island, located upstream
from the mouth of the Little Sioux River at River Mile 674.
This project is part of the Missouri River Recovery Program and
consists of approximately 19,000 tons of 750 pound (top size) rip
rap. The quartzite rip rap, produced in Dell Rapids, SD, is railed
to Sioux City, IA, and then truck hauled to the project where it is
loaded on barges and tugged to specific locations for placement.
A track-type excavator then places the rip rap from the barge to
the damaged shoreline. The contractor is utilizing two barges to
keep the material flowing smoothly.
The Fawn Island work is one of many projects currently
underway by the Missouri River Recovery Program. We would
like to commend the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and all of
the on-site contractors for their Rock Solid efforts to repair and
preserve the shores of the Mighty Mo.

administra el río y tiene la tarea de mantener este río grande y
hermoso lo más saludable posible.

río Milla 674. Este proyecto es parte del Programa de Recuperación
del río Missouri y consta de aproximadamente 19.000 toneladas de
750 libras (tamaño superior) rip rap. El rap rip cuarcita, producida
en Dell Rapids, SD, se criticó a Sioux City, IA, y luego de camiones
transportados al proyecto en el que se carga en barcazas y tiró a
lugares específicos para la colocación. Una excavadora de tipo de

El contratista es la utilización de dos barcazas para mantener el
