| The Future of the Chicago Area Waterway System |
| |
| |
| The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), and other federal, |
| state and local governmental agencies, will discuss and seek input on a |
| multi-year evaluation, called a Use Attainability Analysis, being |
| conducted on the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS). |
| |
| |
| The evaluation will determine the suitable uses (i.e., commercial usage, |
| swimming, fishing, water skiing, boating, etc.) for the CAWS in the |
| future. The CAWS consists of Calumet and Chicago River basin water bodies |
| as well as Lake Calumet and numerous general use tributaries. |
| |
| |
| IEPA will describe the evaluation process, explain why the evaluation is |
| being conducted and detail the impact of the evaluation on the CAWS. |
| |
| |
| What You Can Do: |
| Be informed. Attend a public meeting to learn more about the CAWS |
| and the evaluation being conducted on it. |
