Marina project mussel study proposal outlined
Suzette Lowe
Two presentations were the focus of the May 4 meeting of the Ravenswood City Council. One dealt with the first step that must be completed before any plans can go forward on the marina project. The other gave details of the upcoming phase one of the sewer project.
David Fultz from Edge Engineering and Science LLC detailed the steps required to take regarding the mussels located in the Ohio River and Sand Creek. These mussels, which fall under protected species, must be moved before any portion of the project can proceed.
“Each of the bodies of water are classified. Sand Creek is a Group 1, while the Ohio River is Group 4,” explained Fultz. “There is less work to do with Sand Creek. With the Ohio River, Phase 1 tells us how many mussels and what kinds, Phase 2 almost repeats the first phase but with more detail and Phase 3 is relocation or salvage. The mussels will be moved upstream most likely.”
