The Missouri River originates in the Rocky Mountains of south-central Montana and flows approximately 2,341 miles through seven states, ending at its confluence with the Mississippi River near St. Louis, Missouri. The plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides) was once the dominant floodplain vegetation in the Missouri River ecosystem (Corps 2006a). Natural cottonwood regeneration has largely ceased along the Missouri River following the construction of the Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System (System) and Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project (BSNP). The reduction in the number of young cottonwoods to replace older cottonwoods concerns biologists because a variety of plant and wildlife species, including some protected species, are associated with cottonwoods. Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) depend on the adjacent cottonwood forest for nesting, roosting, and wintering habitat along the Missouri River. Past and ongoing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) operations to serve Congressionally authorized project purposes, including flood control, have restricted overbank flooding causing the reduction of existing stands and new cottonwood establishment. The degradation of cottonwood forests will likely continue in the future and result in additional impacts to bald eagles. In response, the Corps and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), in partnership with tribal nations, states and other agencies, are working to restore a portion of the Missouri River s natural form and function in order to recover Missouri River species provided protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). The Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP) implements the USFWS 2003 Amended Biological Opinion (BiOp) on the Corps operation of the System, BSNP, and Kansas River Tributary Reservoirs (KR) Projects.

Millions of dollars of federal funds have been spent on the recovery of archaeological resources, but did not address curation and maintenance needs. A 1988 inspection revealed that the St. Louis District's collections were deteriorating. The St. Louis District is responsible for the management of cultural resources on District property and for the archaeological and historical resources removed from those lands. As mandated by federal law, agencies are required to ensure that all recovered archaeological materials and the associated records are adequately curated. District collections are public property. They are the result of many years of archaeological research and the expenditure of millions of dollars of federal funds. A typical federally-sponsored mitigation program provides for the recovery of materials from archaeological sites, analysis of recovered items, publication and circulation of a final report, and placement of collections in storage facilities for preservation and future study. Most collections were stored by universities and museums. However, inadequate funding and failing facilities seriously impair the ability of these institutions to adequately care for these collections. Corrective measures taken will enable the St. Louis District to meet minimum federal requirements of adequate, long term curation of archaeological collections and implement an efficient archaeological curation program that will protect and preserve archaeological resources for future generations.

This report examines various options for the curation of archaeological materials that are stewarded by the Department of Defense (DOD). Archaeological materials have been generated by over 50 years of archaeological investigations required by law, and many collections have been gathered from lands held by the DoD and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Adequate curation of these collections is mandated by federal regulations, most importantly 36 CFR Part 79-curation of Federally-owned and Administered Archaeological Collections. Previously, funding had not been allocated for the proper curation of these materials. As a result, most collections have not received adequate long-term care. The DoD and USACE funded this project to seek a solution to this nationwide problem. Museums, universities, and state-funded institutions already have facilities in place to curate archaeological collections. Rather than duplicate efforts, such institutions were sought out tor potential partnership with DoD and USACE. The mission was to identify potential partners, evaluate their capabilities to manage the archaeological collections, and to collect baseline administrative information associated with such an endeavor. The results for the eastern U.S. are presented here. A previous report presents results of institutions in the western half of the U.S., Original contains color plates: All DTIC reproductions will be in black and white.

A sedimentation study of the Middle Mississippi River, between River Miles 63 and 57, was conducted to study sediment transport mechanics of two side channels, Schenimann Chute and Picayune Chute. A hydraulic micro model was used to assess structural design alternatives to develop physical and biological diversity within the side channels. The study concluded that favorable diversity could be achieved through the use of alternating dikes or hard-points, dredging, and notches in the dikes and closure structures. The study also showed that the desired designs would not have an effect on bed response of the main commercial navigation channel. Micro modeling is extremely small scale physical hydraulic sediment transport modeling of a river or stream., Prepared in collaboration with Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources, Missouri Dept. of Conservation, and US Fish and Wildlife Service.

An erosion and sedimentation study of the Kaskaskia River, between Carlyle Lake, Illinois and New Athens, Illinois, was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District. The study was carried out in order to define and evaluate lateral bank erosion experienced on the Kaskaskia River below Carlyle Lake and determine, if possible, remedial measures to abate this erosion in an environmentally sensitive manner. The study determine that "headcutting" was occurring on the river as a result of a navigation channelization project. The headcutting or channel degradation had migrated approximately 14 river miles upstream of the navigation project. A series of grade control structures were proposed to abate the headcutting. In addition, high costs and low cost bank stabilization measures were developed for eroding banklines above the headcutting reach., Prepared in collaboration with Original Kaskaskia Area Wilderness, Inc. and the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources.

An environmental and navigation study of Wolf Island, Miles 936.5 to 929, Lower Mississippi River, was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The study was initiated in order to evaluate sedimentation trends in a major side channel of the Mississippi River and to access various structural design alternative impacts. The goal was to maintain or improve the existing navigation channel through the study reach. Ensure that the side channel would not capture additional flows and eventually become the main channel, and preserve vital fisheries habitat within the side channel. A hydraulic micro model was used for this analysis. The model contained scales of 1 inch=600 feet horizontal and 1 inch=50 feet vertical. A team of various representatives from the U,S, Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi Valley Division, Memphis District, St. Louis District, Missouri Department of Conservation, Kentucky Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service participated and formulated ideas in the model study., Prepared in collaboration with Missouri Dept. of Conservation and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

A sedimentation study of the Mississippi River at SEMO Port, between Miles 49 and 47, was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District. The study was undertaken in order to examine depositional trends experienced within Southeast Missouri Port and determine, if possible, remedial measures to minimize this deposition from various structural alternatives. Using a micro model with a scale of 1 inch = 300 feet horizontal and 1 inch = 100 feet vertical, the study determined that deposition was a result of the settlement of fine materials from water entering the port during high flow events. An extension of an existing berm surrounding the port was proposed to minimize water entering the port during high flow events. In addition, a series of Bendway Weirs in the adjacent Mississippi River navigation channel were proposed to minimize bed load contribution at the port entrance.

Between October 1992 and March 1994, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC), located at the St. Louis District, assisted the Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake (NAWS China Lake), California, in their efforts to comply with the directives of federal regulation 36 CFR Part 79 and Public Law 101-601 (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act-NAGPRA). The project was conducted in three phases, all of which are documented in this report. The first phase of the project was to conduct a curation-needs assessment to identify, locate, and evaluate archaeological collections recovered from NAWS China Lake lands. The second phase of the project was conducted to provide NAWS China Lake personnel with both summary and inventory information that would comply with the directives of NAGPRA. Finally, St. Louis District staff physically arranged and rehabilitated all NAWS China Lake archaeological documentation and created a comprehensive guide to the documentation for future research use.

At the direction of Headquarters, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. St Louis District conducted a survey, during the period February 1995 to September 1996, of archaeological collections recovered from eight U.S. Navy Engineering Field Activity, Chesapeake Division, facilities. Specifically, the research focused on properties in Maryland (U.S. Naval Academy; Naval Training Facility, Bainbridge; Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division; Naval Communications Detachment, Cheltenham; Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division; and Naval Air Warfare Center, Patuxent Division) and Virginia (Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, and Marine Corps Base, Quantico). In sum, 281 cubic feet of archaeological materials and 17 linear feet of associated records from these facilities are curated in 13 repositories. All collections require at least partial rehabilitation to comply with 36 CFR Part 79., Original contains color plates: All DTIC reproductions will be in black and white.

At the request of the U.S. Navy Atlantic Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (LANTDIV), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC), located at the St. Louis District, conducted a survey of archaeological collections and associated documentation generated from archaeological investigations conducted within the boundaries of LANTDIV facilities located in North Carolina, Puerto Rico, Virginia, and West Virginia. Site visits were conducted during 1994 to assess the archaeological collections. MCX-CMAC identified collections from 14 LANTDIV facilities, totaling 198 cubic feet of artifacts and approximately 20 linear feet of associated documentation. Most collections require at least partial rehabilitation to comply with federal regulation 36 CFR Part 79, Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections.

Between July and October 1993 the St Louis District identified 493.4 cubic feet of archaeological materials and 67.8 linear feet of associated records from 20 military installations in the western United States. Collections are located at a total of 11 facilities, and at least 50% of all the collections require complete rehabilitation in order to comply with 36 CFR Part 79.

A sedimentation and navigation study of the Missouri River at Copeland Bend, between Miles 569 and 564.5, was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division, Omaha. Nebraska. The study examined the effects of structural modifications to existing dikes upon the navigation channel and also upon lateral erosion. The study was conducted at the Applied River Engineering Center in St. Louis, Missouri. A physical hydraulic micro model was used to evaluate numerous dike modification plans to existing dikes located off the left descending bank of Copeland Bend. Results indicated that most of the proposed modifications to dikes, such as small notches, minimal elevation degradation, addition of chevrons, etc. had little or no negative effect to the integrity of the navigation channel. In addition, tests showed that major modifications made along the left descending bank, such as bankline excavation, could be tolerated as long as the existing dikes were left in place. Flow visualization showed that most tests generated new flowlines along or near the left descending bank, which would be considered an added environmental benefit.

At the request of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Washington, D.C.. the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC), located at the St. Louis District, conducted a survey of archaeological collections and associated documentation generated from archaeological investigations conducted within the boundaries of Indian reservations located in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. Site visits were conducted during 1995 to assess the archaeological collections. In the aforementioned states, BIA is responsible for administering 47 reservations. Of these reservations, MCX-CMAC staff identified collections for 13, totaling over 458 cubic feet of artifacts and approximately 6 linear feet of associated documentation. All collections require at least partial rehabilitation to comply with federal regulation 36 CFR Part 79, Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections.

Between October 1992 and March 1994, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC), located at the St. Louis District, assisted the Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake (NAWS China Lake), California, in their efforts to comply with the directives of federal regulation 36 CFR Part 79 and Public Law 101-601 (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act-NAGPRA).

Federal archaeological collections are a valuable and nonrenewable national cultural resource. Curation of these materials, however, has been largely substandard or ignored for more than 50 years. Many of these priceless collections of our nation's legacy were placed in the attics, basements, and storage closets of an indefinite number of storage facilities across the United States. Additionally, many objects were illegally transported to Europe, where they remain today. The result has been a steady deterioration of these priceless objects. The improper care, and the subsequent deterioration of many of these collections, not only violates the laws under which they were recovered, but also prevents educational and scientific use. Valuable portions of our irreplaceable national heritage have been lost, and the considerable financial investment by the American public in archaeological recovery has been compromised.

In order to comply with 36 CFR Part 79, Curation and Management of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections, Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) archaeological materials must be properly housed in a facility capable of providing for their long-term care. The present base repository, however, does not meet the requirements in 36 CFR Part 79. Therefore, Edwards AFB personnel requested the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections, St. Louis District, to assist them in determining an appropriate plan of action to correct this problem. On June 15, 1994, architects and archaeologists from the St. Louis District evaluated the feasibility of one existing structure on Edwards AFB to serve as a curation facility. Six sites also were assessed as potential curation-facility construction sites. The existing building was determined to be inappropriate for a curation facility, but three of the six sites would provide good locations for a facility. Finally, St. Louis District architects prepared preliminary drawings, including cost estimates, for a curation facility on Edwards AFB.

In 1994, the Arkansas Archeological Survey (AAS), a unit of the University of Arkansas, contacted the St. Louis District for assistance in evaluating the feasibility of using an existing building on Eaker Air Force Base for the Mississippi Valley Cultural Heritage Center-a proposed central facility devoted to the curation needs of archaeological materials recovered from the region and to their academic and educational use. A St. Louis District architectural feasibility team evaluated five extant buildings and provided recommendations on each one's applicability for use. Two buildings-Building Numbers 552 and 1225-could be rehabilitated as a central curation facility. Cost estimates for the rehabilitation of each of these buildings, along with a cost estimate for a new, preengineered building, provide the AAS with comparative data for the planning process.

In July 1994, the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District, entered into Interagency Agreement No. 1422P852-A4-0015 for the purpose of identifying and locating collections from BLM-administered lands made under the provisions of the Antiquities Act of 1906 (P.L. 59-206) and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (P.L. 96-95). This task was undertaken to assist BLM in compliance with provisions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA; P.L. 101-601, 36 CFR Part 79 (Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections). and Department Manual 411 (Policies and Standards for Managing Museum Collections). During Stage One, St. Louis District personnel contacted curation facilities in the eastern United States to identify and locate collections affected by NAGPRA. During Stage Two, NAGPRA inventories were conducted at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH; New York, New York) and the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology (Bristol, Rhode Island). Stage One findings include the locations of the collections, researchers producing the collection, a summary of the collection history, and the individuals contacted at each facility. Stage Two findings include the NAUPRA inventories of skeletal remains and the associated and unassociated funerary objects at the AMNH and the Haffenreffer Museum.

A sedimentation and navigation study of the lower Mississippi River, between River Miles 603 and 596 was conducted to study and solve the navigation problems associated with the Mississippi River at White River Confluence. Problems exist when tows navigate in and out of the White River near River mile 599. The outside of Subgrass Bend creates a deep channel with high velocities at the confluence. Several catastrophic events including collisions and sinkings have nearly occurred as a result of the problems indicated in the report. A new lock and dam is currently being constructed on the White River just upstream of the Mississippi River. A physical hydraulic micro model was used to assess 10 structural design alternatives to alleviate or eliminate the navigation problems. The study recommended constructing 7 bendway weirs near the confluence. Flow visualization showed that bendway weirs would redistribute the velocities across the channel. A longitudinal dike and minor realignment of the confluence were also recommended., Prepared in collaboration with the Arkansas Waterways Commission.

A sedimentation and navigation study of the Mississippi River, between River Miles 271 and 277.5 was conducted to study and solve the outdraft problem at the downbound approach to Lock and Dam 24 in Clarksville, Missouri. Outdraft has been a severe problem at Lock 24 since operation began. The outdraft conditions cause transportation delays and accidents, which may cause damage to the miter or tainter gates as well as injuries or loss of life. A physical hydraulic micro model was used to access 30 structural design alternatives to alleviate or eliminate the outdraft conditions. The study recommended constructing four bendway weirs upstream of the lock chamber and extending dike 274.OR. Model tests indicate that outdraft was significantly reduced as a result of these remedial measures. Construction sequencing of this recommended plan was also studied through model testing., See also Volume 2, AD-A378 990.

Under the agreement of the Legacy Resource Management Program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC), located at the St. Louis District, conducted an investigation of all archaeological materials and associated records in the care of NAS North Island, Edwards Air Force Base, Fort Irwin, and MCAGCC Twentynine Palms from July 22, 1992, to October 19, 1992, and September 16-20, 1993. The inspections of 18 separate repositories, including four military installations in 2 different states, produced evidence documenting widespread deterioration and neglect of many of the Air Force, Army, and Navy archaeological collections. None of the 18 repositories are in full compliance with 36 CFR Part 79 (Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archaeological Collections) and one-half were not designed for, or adapted to, the requirements of a modem curation center.

Between September 1994 and January 1995, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District's Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC) performed research to address the status of the Savannah District's archaeological collections from projects conducted on fee-title land at Hartwell, Russell, and J. Strom Thurmond lakes in Georgia and South Carolina. The MCX-CMAC conducted a literature and site record review of all work conducted at the three lakes and compiled an annotated bibliography of all references, noting the presence or absence of collections, types of materials, NAGPRA-related materials, and the location of the archaeological materials and associated documentation. Reports and documentation were studied at the Savannah District office; the South Carolina Institute for Archaeology and Anthropology, Columbia; the University of Georgia, Athens, Laboratory of Archaeology; Brockington and Associates, Atlanta, Georgia; Carolina Archaeological Services, Columbia, South Carolina; New South Associates, Stone Mountain, Georgia; and at the cultural resources offices at the lakes. In sum, 1%% technical reports and 75 related files were identified and examined. Eight repositories were identified as curating archaeological collections from the lakes. NAGPRA-related materials from the lakes are presumably curated at the Laboratory of Archaeology, University of Georgia, Athens, and the Office of Archaeological Services, University of Alabama Museums, Moundville.

The U.S. Army Environmental Center tasked the Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections (MCX-CMAC) with the job of assisting the Army in complying with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), P.L. 101-601 The MCX-CMAC was asked to locate and assess archaeological collections derived from Army lands, to identify the Native American or Native Hawaiian organizations culturally affiliated with the collections, and to draft Section 6 summary letters and Section 5 compliance documents. A physical inventory was conducted of any collections containing human remains and/or associated funerary objects and included an on-site review of all documentation associated with collections believed to contain human skeletal remains and/or associated funerary objects, followed by a box-by-box examination of the human remains and funerary objects. This report conveys the results of the physical inventory completed for compliance with Section 5 of NAGPRA.

A sedimentation study of the Mississippi River, between River Miles 51 and 47, was conducted to study the mechanics of Marquette Chute. A hydraulic micro model was used to access a variety of structural design alternatives to develop biological diversity in the side channel. The study found that favorable diversity could be developed by the construction of two notches in the upper closure structure of Marquette Chute, and by the construction of two dikes below the lower closure structure of Marquette Chute., Prepared in collaboration with Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources and Missouri Dept. of Conservation Long Term Resource Monitoring Station.

Federal archeological collections and associated documentation are priceless national resources, a legacy to the American public. Their care and conservation has been mandated by Congress since 1906. Unfortunately, the proper care and management of these materials has been largely ignored or underfunded. Many of our nation's heritage resources have been placed and then abandoned in the attics, basements, and storage closets of countless facilities across the United States. Others have been illegally transported to Europe, where they remain today. The result has been a steady deterioration of the collections, which include many significant objects associated with long vanished cultures as well as existing Native American communities. Federally sponsored mitigation programs usually provide for the recovery of materials from archeological sites, analyses of the recovered items, publication and circulation of final reports, and placement of collections in storage facilities for preservation, display, or future study. In the past, federal agencies gave little attention to the maintenance of collections once salvage programs were completed. Through the years, archeological collections were curated at no expense to the federal government by the various universities, museums, firms, and state repositories holding them. Unfortunately, the lack of funding and inadequate facilities now seriously hinder these institutions' ability to adequately care for the collections. Standards and guidelines for the preservation of federal archeological collections are set forth in 36 CFR Part 79, Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archeological Collections. However, the preservation and management procedures for many federal archeological collections are demonstrably substandard, clearly falling below the standards and guidelines required of federal agencies.

Between October 1995 and January 1996, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District's Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections conducted a survey of archaeological collections and associated documentation generated from archaeological investigations conducted on 20 U.S. Air Force, Air Combat Command (ACC) installations. This volume addresses collections from the following installations: Little Rock Air Force Base and Black Jack Air Force Range, Arkansas; Moody Air Force Base and Grand Bay Air Force Range, Georgia; Mountain Home Air Force Base and Saylor Creek Air Force Range, Idaho; Whiteman Air Force Base and Whiteman Missile Range, Missouri; Offut Air Force Base, Nebraska; Nellis Air Force Base and Nellis Air Force Range, Nevada; Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Dare County Air Force Range, and Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina; Minot Air Force Base and Minot Air Force Range, North Dakota; Ellsworth Air Force Base, Ellsworth Missile Range, and Badlands Air Force Range, South Dakota; and Dyess Air Force Base,Texas. In total, approximately 32 cubic feet of artifacts in 12 distinct collections and approximately 22 linear feet of records and 63 reports from ACC collections are being curated by 23 repositories in 13 states. All collections require at least partial rehabilitation to comply with federal regulations.

A sedimentation study of the Mississippi River, between River Miles 39.5 and 35, was conducted to study the mechanics of two particular side channels, Sante Fe Chute and Doolan Chute. A hydraulic micro model was used to access a variety of structural design alternatives to develop biological diversity in the side channel. The study found that favorable diversity could be developed by the construction of alternating dikes. The study also focused on the possibility of re-establishing Doolan Chute to the main channel., Prepared in collaboration with Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources and Missouri Dept. of Conservation Long Term Resource Monitoring Station.
