Dear BCNnet,

As posted by Joel Brammeier on 6-3-02, the Letter of Permission originally 
requested for the proposed Lake Calumet marina appears to have been delayed 
and/or stopped. As a result, the Illinois International Port District has 
applied for a regular individual permit for the 1,000 slip marina. The 
deadline for Public comments to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is Friday, June 
14, 2002. That's this coming Friday -the deadline is coming up fast.

Letters to the USACE are urgently needed. A few guidelines are in order. In 
regard to the proposed marina, we are requesting: 1) a complete Environmental 
Impact Statement; 2) a public hearing; and 3) an extension of the public 
comment period.

I have written a letter to USACE on behalf of BCN which I will post 
separately on BCNnet. It is a rather long letter. BCNnet members are welcome 
to use it as an information source for their own original letters, but please 
don't simply copy it. Original letters are always best.

Again, you should find a wealth of information to draw upon in my BCN letter. 
And don't forget that the deadline for public commentary is June 14th!

Thanks much to all who are able to help on this!
