7 Reconnaissance Overview A. Introduction The International Joint Commission has listed the Grand Calumet River/Indiana Harbor Canal, since 1986, as an Area of Concern (AOC). This designation was based on impairments in 14 beneficial use categories. A number of these use impairments can be directly attributed to the quality of the existing aquatic environment, specifically to the contaminated sediments. Impairments to wildlife, fish and waterfowl, as well as to recreational uses of the waterway are directly linked to the contaminated sediments. These heavily contaminated sediments continue to be a source of pollutants to the water column, while also providing a toxic environment for aquatic species and foraging wildlife.

8 The Grand Calumet River basin is fairly typical in terms of degraded environmental quality resultant from decades of unchecked industrial and urban development. However, what is unique about this basin, are the potential impacts of restoration and remediation on the ecosystem. The Grand Calumet River Basin contains unique remnants of a once expansive (30,000 acres) dune and swale ecosystem adjacent to Lake Michigan. These remnants (about 2,000 acres) provide habitat for 66 State rare and endangered species. Consequently, restoration of the aquatic habitat and adjacent dune and swale ecosystem will provide many benefits to the local flora and fauna.

9 The Grand Calumet River system is comprised of the East and West Branches of the Grand Calumet River and the Indiana Harbor Canal and Lake George Canal. The East Branch extends 12 river miles to the junction with the Indiana Harbor Canal, while the West Branch extends 4 river miles from the junction with the Indiana Harbor Canal to the Illinois-Indiana State line. The upstream reach of the Indiana Harbor Canal is about miles in length and the Lake George Canal extends about miles. The flow regime of the river system is complex and driven primarily by lake level fluctuations in Lake Michigan, in addition to the many discharge and withdrawal points along the river that are associated with the heavy urbanization/industrialization of this watershed.

10 The purpose of the Grand Calumet River/Indiana Harbor Canal Environmental Dredging Feasibility study is to investigate and recommend remediation alternatives, including dredging and disposal of the contaminated sediments in the Grand Calumet River and in the non-federal portions of the Indiana Harbor and Lake George Canals, Indiana, and ecosystem restoration within the river channel and adjacent areas. This Project Management plan describes the tasks involved in the completion of the Feasibility study , including the development of the appropriate study documents.
