Abstract:These analyses support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ study of navigation in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) and Illinois Waterway (IWW) and address the need to examine the potential of “non-structural measures” to improve efficiency in those waterways. This report describes the initial assessment and selection candidate measures, the activities of two stakeholder Focus Groups in support of the project team, the analytical approach, and the results.
The measures selected were 1) excess lockage time fees, and 2) tradable permits. The selection parameters were narrowed by previous screening of small scale measures by the Army Corps during the 1990s and by concurrent studies by the Army Corps examining other selected measures.
