WABASHA, Minn. – Trucks have resumed seasonal hauling of dredged Mississippi River bottom sediment from a riverside Army Corps dump to a city-approved site across U.S. Highway 61. The process involves 2,000 cubic a day. The operation is part of a 2023 settlement between the Corps and the city to alleviate local protests about Corps trucking through the city. The city now controls the routes and chooses the final disposal site. The Corps dredges some 130,000 cubic yards of sand a year at Wabasha.
