The City of La Crosse has applied to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for a permit to place a pier/wharf and remove materials from the bed of the Mississippi River. The project is located in the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 31, Township 16 North, Range 07 West, City of La Crosse, La Crosse County.
Specifically, the project will consist of the expansion of the cruise ship landing dock at Riverside Park in the City of La Crosse. The proposed landing dock expansion would include the installation of approximately 580 linear feet of sheet pile, along with associated dredging, earthmoving, grading, paving, lighting, benches, landscaping, and other miscellaneous site improvements to create and extend the ship landing dockage northward. Construction is planned to commence in Winter 2021/2022 with substantial completion in Spring 2022. The landing terrace will be 28’ wide and be comprised of a concrete walk similar to the southern landing dock, a vertical sheet pile wall with varying heights, along with toe protection from the repurposed rock riprap.
The department will review the proposal provided by the applicant and any information from public comments and the public informational hearing. The department has made a tentative determination that it will issue the permit for the proposed activity.
To help in the planning process, please consider sharing your intention to participate in the hearing by filling out this survey. You are not required to complete this survey to participate, but it will help in the planning process.

The annual average design flow is 195,000 gallons per day with actual flows averaging 81,000 gallons per day over the past five years (January 2016 – December 2020). Treatment consists of two aerated lagoons and a rotating biological contact unit (RBC).
