SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Illinois Coast Guard announced Monday a temporary closure on portions of the Little Calumet River south of the economically vital O'Brien Lock and Dam at the request of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

CHICAGO - The city was in a predicament. By the late 1800s, the slow-moving Chicago River had become a cesspool of sewage and factory pollution oozing into Lake Michigan, the source of drinking water for the bustling metropolis. The waterway had grown so putrid that it raised fears of a disease outbreak and concerns about hurting development. So in a first-of-its-kind feat, engineers reversed the river by digging a series of canals that not only carried the stinking mess away from the lake, but also created the only shipping route between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.

Massive fish kill yields no carp, proponents concede lock closure wrong step SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following a one week lock closure to accommodate a fish kill on a two mile stretch of the Little Calumet River in search of Asian carp, none of the invasive species was found. As a result, proponents of lock closure now acknowledge their call for lock closure was unwarranted. Nick Schroeck, director of the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center in Detroit admits, "Perhaps we can concede that asking for an injunction to close the locks was not the right solution." Area businesses and industry leaders wonder if additional economic disruption lies ahead.
