Ouachita-Black Rivers Dredging Project

An additional $2 million funding to dredge the Ouachita-Black Rivers Navigation Project in Arkansas and Louisiana will allocate by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Ouachita-Black Rivers Navigation Project provides dependable year-round commercial navigation from the mouth of the Black River to Camden, a distance of approximately 337 river miles.

Each project has a lock chamber 84 feet wide and 600 feet in length to ensure the waterway is fully maintained for commercial navigation.

This dredging project provides multiple direct and indirect benefits beyond navigation by providing both public and commercial water supply and discharge benefits, recreational benefits, fish and wildlife conservation benefits, and flood damage reduction benefits that all together enhance and improve the quality of life of the people in the Ouachita River Basin in Arkansas and Louisiana.
