Proposal to protect the Missouri River.
The best way to protect the river water from contamination is to place a barrier between the oil spills from the pipeline and the water. Knowing that spills will take place it is necessary to keep the oil from entering the water from under the river. The best way to economically do this is to dam up the river north of Cannon Ball and let the riverbed dry. And then pour concrete to cover the river bed. This will create a lasting barrier between the pipeline and the water. Oil will eventually seep into the river from the underneath side of the river. This project will keep that from happening. Protecting the water is the priority. The dam project should start immediately. After the project is completed the concrete should be adequate protection to guard against damage from spills. Other engineering factors such as depressions can trap oil before spills reach the river. Also lined with concrete.
This is my idea on how to protect the water at Cannon Ball in the Missouri River. If you agree please share. Donate to blog with PayPal if you like. All gifts are appreciated. Thank you.
