Historically, the flow of sediment in the Missouri River has been as important as the flow of water for a variety of river functions. The sediment has helped form a dynamic network of islands, sandbars, and floodplains, and provided habitats for native species. Further downstream, sediment transported by the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers has helped build and sustain the coastal wetlands of the Mississippi River delta. The construction of dams and river bank control structures on the Missouri River and its tributaries, however, has markedly reduced the volume of sediment transported by the river. These projects have had several ecological impacts, most notably on some native fish and bird species that depended on habitats and landforms created by sediment flow. Missouri River Planning describes the historic role of sediment in the Missouri River, evaluates current habitat restoration strategies, and discusses possible sediment management alternatives. The book finds that a better understanding of the processes of sediment transport, erosion, and deposition in the Missouri River will be useful in furthering river management objectives, such as protection of endangered species and development of water quality standards.

In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated streambank erosion problems on the Upper Missouri River, focusing on: (1) whether the Army Corps of Engineers conducted any erosion study before planning and constructing its six dams and lakes on the river; (2) the extent of erosion problems that are caused by the Corps' operations; (3) the environmental and economic impacts of erosion; and (4) the Corps' legal authority and liability related to the erosion problem. GAO found that: (1) the Corps reasonably did not evaluate streambank erosion problems during the planning stages of the dams because it was not required to do so; (2) while the Corps' dams have decreased erosion, they have also eliminated offsetting soil accretion; (3) in 1987, the Corps identified 192 potential erosion control sites on the Upper Missouri and estimated that irrigation would cost $103.6 million; (4) the few environmental impact statements that the Corps prepared for Upper Missouri projects noted only minor environmental effects; (5) the cost of erosion control structures in North Dakota would greatly exceed the economic benefits; (6) the Corps has statutory authority to construct erosion control structures only when they are economically justifiable; and (7) while property owners might claim damages for bank erosion, they would have little chance of winning compensation.
