St. Joseph finally has permission to give mud back to the Big Muddy.

Tons of mud, silt, sand, and other stuff left from last year’s Missouri River flood has clogged a riverwalk between a nature center and a park. But the Corps of Engineers had to issue a permits for the city to dump stuff into the river. It’s thought there are 20,ooo cubic yards of material that will take more than a month to put back into the river.
