Abstract

The objective of the survey was to collect extensive data pertaining to the movement of freight through the barge terminals located in Iowa. Data considered most important related to volume shipped by commodity, origin and destination of freight through the terminal, and the mode used to transport freight to and from each terminal. One of the first considerations was to obtain a complete and current list of the names and locations of the commercial docks operating in Iowa. An organization wishing to ship by barge must obtain a permit and be listed with the U.S. corps of Engineers District Office in their district. Upon request, the corps of Engineers in the Rock Island, St. Paul and Omaha districts forwarded their current list of all organizations with permits to the D.O.T.
