fleeting areas on the north side of Carlson Island near Red Wing, MN. The Red Wing port is
expanding business and more barge fleeting area is required. The project would include the
installation of up to 10 I-beam anchorage systems on the north side of Carlson Island between
River Mile 789 and 790. The I-beams will be driven into the ground until the point of refusal. A

system. Barges would be secured to the anchor barges as shown in the attached drawings.
