The Corps is proposing to amend the navigation regulations for the Red River Waterway, Louisiana and the Yazoo Diversion Canal at Vicksburg, Mississippi. It is proposed to amend the Red River Waterway navigation regulation which prescribe maximum length, width, and draft of vessel tows that are allowed to enter the lock chamber for each lockage. It is proposed to mend the Yazoo Diversion Canal navigation regulation that establishes procedures for mooring of vessels along the banks. If the proposal is approved for the Red River Waterway, the maximum length of allowable vessel tow that may enter the lock chamber for each lockage will be increased from 685 feet to 705 feet. The maximum allowable width and draft of tow remains the same at 80 feet and 9 feet, respectively. Increasing the usable tow length to 705 feet will increase the efficiency of lock operations by reducing the number of tow breakups during a locking operation. If the proposal is approved for the Yazoo Diversion Canal, the navigation regulation would clarify vessel mooring locations along the canal banks for various river stages and that fairways will be established by the Vicksburg District Engineer. Establishment of fairways and specifying locations along the banks that vessels may moor for various river stages, will control indiscriminate vessel moorings and improve navigation safety .
