28 Dikes and Revetment Construction (Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project) 28 BUILDING STRONG
29 Dikes and Revetment Construction (Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project) The dikes and revetments were designed primarily to maintain an open navigatable channel during times of low flow. This results in sediments that would ordinarily be deposited for a given discharge being transported downstream. The lack of stream bed recovery is consistent with the design and function of the dikes and revetments. 29
30 Dikes and Revetments Kansas City Reach Kansas City reach has required additional dikes and the accompanying flow restrictions to support navigation. Resulted in a very constrictive dike system to maintain a navigation channel. River that is very efficient at cleaning and maintaining the low-flow channel. Modifications lowering the channel bed either natural or man induced are unlikely to return to pre-event levels. 30

51 Summary (Cut-Offs) Cut-offs have contributed to degradation in certain reaches of the river. These reaches have also been altered in character by the construction of dikes and revetments. This constraining of the river placed additional stresses on the stream bed. Detailed data not available/analyzed to fully quantify. 51

72 Summary of Sediment Trap Impacts Mainstem dam impacts have not extended below Rulo, NE. Impacts on the Missouri River resulting from trapped sediment above Kansas Basin dams are consider minimal based on: earlier work (Simons, Li and Associates, 1984), mean daily flow records the dams are on tributaries considerably removed from the mouth of the river. none of the dams are the main stem of the Kansas River The impact of the structures on the Osage River have not been evaluated. The remaining structures on tributaries to the Missouri River represent small drainage areas some distance from the Missouri River and are considered to have little or no impact. Open to further evaluation. 72
