SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background. USACE, in
consultation with other federal agencies,
Native American tribes, state agencies,
local governments and nongovernmental organizations, is
conducting GLMRIS. For GLMRIS,
USACE will explore options and
technologies, collectively known as
ANS controls, that could be applied to
prevent ANS transfer between the
basins through aquatic pathways.
Potential ANS controls may include, but
are not limited to, hydrologic separation
of the basins, waterway modifications,
selective barriers, etc.
USACE will conduct a comprehensive
analysis of ANS controls and will
analyze the effects an ANS control or
combination of ANS controls may have
on current uses of: (1) The Chicago Area
Waterway System (CAWS), the only
known continuous aquatic pathway
between the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River basins; and (2) other
aquatic pathways between these basins.
For the CAWS, current waterway uses
include, but are not limited to: flood
risk management; commercial and
recreational navigation; recreation;
water supply; hydropower; and
conveyance of effluent from wastewater
treatment plants and other industries.
Additionally, this study will identify
mitigation measures or alternative
facilities necessary to offset and address
