It looks like we have a small new island in the Ohio River at Huntington WV, although I don't know how long it will last.
I noticed it today. It's just below the mouth of the Guyandotte River, where dredging was done on Saturday and Sunday.
First, we noticed the Admiral tied up to the bank.
Then, this dredge boat was at the mouth of the Guyandotte. It worked its way up the Guyandotte to the boat ramp.
Material dredged from the river bottom was pumped out into the Ohio and discharged there.
Today, this guy was on this pile of dirt out where the dredged material was dumped. I have no idea who he was or what he was doing.
He walked in water that was mostly ankle deep to waist deep. It looked like he had a small cooler or something to scoop up sand, after which he went through it. As I said, I have no idea what he was looking for.
Will the island survive? Will it have to be dredged out of existence? Or will the first high water of autumn take care of it?
