In this Dec. 12, 2012 photo provided by the United States Coast Guard, a line of towboats with fully loaded barges moves through the Chain of Rocks Canal near St. Louis, which allows operators to circumvent an impassable section of the Mississippi River. Barge operators along a key stretch of the Mississippi River braced Monday, Dec. 17, for months of restricted shipping as crews prepared to begin blasting large rock formations that are impeding navigation on the drought-plagued waterway.

FILE - This Nov. 28, 2012 file photo provided by The United States Coast Guard shows man-made dikes, perpendicular to the shore, that direct the water flow back into the river to maintain a navigable depth along on the Mississippi River South of St. Louis. The National Weather Service revised the Mississippi River forecast Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, offering a bit of a reprieve for shippers, showing the water level isn't dropping as quickly as feared. Still, at least two large barge companies already are reducing loads over concerns about the river's depth. (AP Photo/United States Coast Guard, Colby Buchanan, File)
