Engineering University of Illinois Urbana, Illinois July 2014 Hydraulic Modeling of Chicago Area Waterways System (CAWS) to Assess the Impact of Hydrologic Separation on Water Levels and Potential Flooding during Extreme Rainfall Events in Chicago, Illinois Santiago Santacruz, MSc.1 Marcelo H. Garc´ıa,PhD.2 1Graduate Research Assistant 2Professor and Director, Ven Te Chow Hydrosystems Laboratory July 2014 Executive Summary Purpose and Scope In the Chicago Area Waterways (CAWS) drainage area, there are 255 Combined Sewer Outfalls (CSO) owned by the City of Chicago, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC), and surrounding municipalities. Chicago-area CSOs discharging to the CAWS currently drain away from Lake Michigan during most wet weather conditions. Consequently, the majority of CSO events in the Chicago metropolitan area do not affect Lake Michigan. However, the gates at the waterway controlling works that separate the Chicago-area waters and Lake Michigan are opened during certain heavy rainfall events in order to prevent local flooding. At the same time, there is a growing interest in controlling the potential migration of invasive species towards the Great Lakes.

Master's Theses (2009 -). Paper 45. http://epublications.marquette.edu/theses_open/45 SIMULATION OF SCENARIOS TO MEET DISSOLVED OXYGEN STANDARDS IN THE CHICAGO WATERWAY SYSTEM by Yaping Ao, B.E. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of the Master of Science Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT SIMULATION OF SCENARIOS TO MEET DISSOLVED OXYGEN STANDARDS IN THE CHICAGO WATERWAY SYSTEM Yaping Ao, B.E. Marquette University, 2010 Although most reaches of the Chicago Waterway System (CWS) meet the General Use Water Quality Standards a high percentage of the time, dissolved oxygen (DO) standards are not met in the CWS during some periods for both the WYs 2001 and 2003 as representative of wet and dry years. Several methods were used to solve this problem; however, they were inadequate for achieving the proposed DO standards. Therefore, a method of integrating the alternative DO remediation methods into one integrated strategy for improving water quality is considered in this study. The main purpose of this study is the application of the DUFLOW model to improve DO concentrations in the CWS during the WYs 2001 and 2003. Two sets of DO standards needed to be achieved: 90 and 100% compliance with the IEPA’s proposed DO standards, and the MWRDGC’s proposed DO standards.

  • Answers to Trivia Trail Greenbelt Forest Preserve September 2020
    Answers to Trivia Trail Greenbelt Forest Preserve September 2020 1. 595 acres per the LCFPD webpage and the Countywide Map & Guide: LCFPD.org/Greenbelt 2. A need for open space in a densely populated part of the county was the main reason for acquiring the land that became Greenbelt Forest Preserve. The name reflects this need for a “greenbelt” within an urbanized center. Refer to Trivia Trail sign #1. 3. The native Potawatomi referred to the Skokie River as “Chewab Skokie” or “big wet prairie” for its seasonal flooding: LCFPD.org/NativeAmericanPlaceNames 4. Prairie dock. 5. Green Bay Road (est. 1832) became the first conduit for settlers to travel into the newly opened northeastern Illinois. In 1836, the first stagecoach service began on the road carrying mail and passengers between Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 6. The first African American settler in Lake County, Illinois was Amos Bennett (the older brother of Alfred Bennett). Amos Bennett was born a freeman in Delhi, New York in 1797. Bennett settled in today’s Gurnee, Illinois in 1835: LCFPD.org/AmosBennett 7. In May 1837, John Dugdale (1787-1873) and his family settled on land in today’s Greenbelt Forest Preserve. The Dugdales were Irish immigrants from County Meath, Ireland. Dugdale Road along the east side of Greenbelt is named for this family, and Dugdale Lake is named after the road. 8. Greenbelt Cultural Center: LCFPD.org/GCC 9. Pulaski: LCFPD.org/Pulaski 10. Pulaski Lake and Casimir Pulaski Drive (south end of Greenbelt Forest Preserve) are named in honor of Casimir Pulaski (1745-1779) a Polish nobleman and military commander who was recruited by Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) to assist Americans in their fight for independence.

  • Fish Surveys in the Lake Michigan Basin 1996-2006: Chicago and Calumet River Sub-Basins
    Region Watershed Program 5931 Fox River Drive Plano, Illinois 60548 Fish Surveys in the Lake Michigan Basin 1996-2006: Chicago and Calumet River Sub-basins Stephen M. Pescitelli and Robert C. Rung August 2009 Summary For all 16 stations sampled in 2006 we collected 1,995 fish, representing 35 species from 11 families. No threatened or endangered species were encountered. Four non- native species were present, including common carp, goldfish, white perch, and round goby. No Asian carp were collected or observed. The number of species and relative abundance was very similar for the 9 stations collected in both 2001 and 2006. Only 3 stations were sampled in 1996, yielding 17 species and 158 individuals. None of the stations sampled in 1996 were included in the subsequent surveys due to access problems, however, species compositions for 1996 were similar to the 2001 and 2006 studies. Stream quality was relatively low for all Chicago River sub-basin stations. North Shore Channel (HCCA-02) had the highest IBI score; 22 on a scale of 0-60. The lowest score was found on the West Fork of the North Branch (HCCB-13), where only 4 native species were collected, resulting in an IBI of 9. Three stations were sampled in the Chicago River sub-basin in both 2001 and 2006 surveys, and showed very similar IBI scores in both years with differences in IBI of 4 points or less. The one station sampled in 1996 on the North Branch was at Touhy Avenue and had an IBI of 14. Stream quality ratings were also low for the Calumet River sub-basin.
