Every year, a persistent shoaling problem exists between the Rogue River jetties, along the inside of the south jetty, and in the truning basin and harbor access channel. This condition makes maintenance dredging difficult and blocks navigation channels, thus restricting vessel traffic between the ocean and port facilities. Rapid summertime shoaling occurs (when riverflows aware normally low) during peak boating and salmon fishing seasons, causing unpredictable and hazardous entrance conditions. Authorized channel dimensions cannot be maintained by dredging due to the rapid shoaling rate. A hydraulic model investigation was conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) to: Study shoaling, wave, current, and riverflow conditions in the lower reaches of the Rogue River for existing conditions and proposed improvements. Develop remedial plans for the lleviation of undesirable conditions as found necessary. Determine if design modification to the proposed plans could be made cost effective.
