5/18 - Cleveland, Ohio - The U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port Sector Lake Michigan established a temporary safety zone from Brandon Road Lock and Dam to Lake Michigan.
The rule is in effect from May 11, 2010, through March 1, 2011, and will cover 77 miles of navigable waterways in the Chicago area.
Because federal and state agencies may take actions at any time, in any segment of the waterways covered by the temporary safety zone, this rule provides the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, the ability to take targeted and expeditious action in order to protect vessels and people from hazards associated with and federal and state efforts to control aquatic nuisance species.
There is an Asian carp suppression activity scheduled for May 21, 2010, in Little Calumet River below the Thomas O'Brien Lock ad Control works, approximately from miles 323.2 to 325.3. Information is forthcoming.
The other current restriction is the regulated navigation area (RNA) at the aquatic nuisance species dispersal barrier near Romeoville, IL.
This temporary interim rule is intended to restrict vessels from entering certain segments of the navigable waters of the Des Plaines River, Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, branches of the Chicago River, and the Calumet-Saganashkee Channel.
