GUTTENBERG, Iowa — The Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $7.5 million contract to Legacy Corporation of East Moline, Illinois, for habitat rehabilitation at South Ferry Slough upstream on the Mississippi River from Guttenberg. Many natural islands bordering the navigation channel have been eroded by floods, endangering aquatic vegetation and wildlife in the shallows. A future stage of the project will deal with North Ferry Slough and McMillan Island, the Corps said.
