ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), Chicago District has
posted on https://glmris.anl.gov the Great
Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin
Study (GLMRIS) Report. The GLMRIS
Report presents a range of options and
technologies that could be applied to
prevent aquatic nuisance species (ANS)
transfer between the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River basins through aquatic
connections. Through a structured study
process, USACE identified thirteen ANS
of Concern established in one basin that
posed a high or medium risk of adverse
impacts by transfer and establishment in
the opposite basin. USACE analyzed
and evaluated available controls to
address these ANS, and formulated

alternatives specifically for the Chicago
Area Waterway System (CAWS) with
the goal of preventing ANS transfer
between the two basins.
USACE conducted GLMRIS in
consultation with other federal agencies,
Native American tribes, state agencies,
local governments and nongovernmental organizations. For
additional information regarding
GLMRIS, please refer to the project Web
site https://glmris.anl.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Background: USACE conducted
GLMRIS in consultation with other
federal agencies, Native American
tribes, state agencies, local governments
and non-governmental organizations.
The GLMRIS authority directed USACE
to identify the range of options and
technologies available to prevent the
spread of aquatic nuisance species
(ANS) between the Great Lakes and
Mississippi River Basins through the
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and
other aquatic pathways. In GLMRIS,
USACE has identified thirteen ANS of
Concern established in one basin with
the risk for transfer to the other,
analyzed and evaluated available ANS

controls, and formulated alternatives
specifically for the Chicago Area
Waterway System (CAWS) with the goal
of preventing ANS transfer between the
two basins.
2. The GLMRIS Report: The GLMRIS
Report identifies eight potential
alternatives—from continuing current
efforts to complete separation of the
watersheds, and evaluates the potential
of these alternatives to control the interbasin spread of thirteen ANS, which
include fish (such as Asian carp), algae,
crustaceans, plants and viruses. The
report also identifies potential
significant adverse impacts that
alternatives may have on existing uses
and users of the waterways, such as
flood risk management, navigation, and
water quality, and identifies mitigation
measures that could be implemented to
minimize these impacts.
