During the dewatering sequence, several canoes floated by, and due to the AquaDams®
they were not inconvenienced by muddy fill during their day on the river.
Under Mississippi State Law, the amount of environmental damage caused by a
project of this magnitude would have been illegal. Sandbags would have been
totally ineffective, and sheet piling would have been cost prohibitive. With
the quickness and ease of installation provided by the AquaDams®, however,
the pipeline crew was able to begin work the very next day.
