Jan Danielsen posted four photos with the comment: "Who knows what's going on near lock and dam 13 Pool 14. Clinton, Iowa side? I took pictures from Fulton, Illinois side this morning and was surprised to see this. Fred McKenzie tugboat and equipment on the barges. It's a fishing spot."
Dana Washburn Lyter: I asked my husband who is a captain for the Corp and he thinks they are spreading rock to fill in the spillway. The corp dumped it there a few days ago. Plus that's not the Channel they wouldn't be digging there anyway.
Rich Reusche: Project was started last Fall...2020...just when Walleye fishing..tailwaters, was getting good...Barges with Rock...building up Spillway...Still were there this spring..Glad they are back at it...Maybe done before October/ November.. Walleye and Sauger movement into the tailwaters..
Joshua Bauer: They have been doing work on the emergency spillway that is to the west of the dam. They unloaded the equipment in that pocket.
Reed Williams: As a side note...Fred R Mckenzie was designed to be truckable by disassembling it into truck sized pieces. Little known fact. [Mckenzie is the towboat.]
Bob Felderman: That is Newt Marine out of Dubuque doing the work.

I included all four of her photos because this implies it is more than just a dredging operation unless they are going to do some clamshell work.

For us small boaters pool 13 below Sabula is the second most nasty windy pool.
Lake Pepin is the king of windy nasty.
