USACE seeks comments on Blackhawk Park bank stabilization

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is seeking public comments on a draft Environmental Assessment, or EA, for its proposed Blackhawk Park bank stabilization and erosion protection project.

The proposed project is upstream of Lock 9 on the Upper Mississippi River on the Wisconsin side, adjacent to Vernon County, Wisconsin.

According to USACE, the purpose of the project is to stabilize the bank and shoreline at five sites with seven work areas around Blackhawk Park that were affected by the flooding events in spring 2023.

Construction would occur in summer 2025.

A final determination on the draft EA will be made following the public review period, said USACE.

The deadline for submitting the comments is March 26, 2025.
