I asked Steve Shemanski, from our office, for his observations of these waterway systems since he lives •
closest to the study area. His observation is for the Cal/Sag Channel. I am not certain that this is included
in in the system that is being discussed but the following is a transcript of Steve's comments:
John: As you know I live in Palos Park, a short distance from the Cal/Sag channel.
On several occasions I have observed people water skiing in the Cal/Sag. Both upright on the skis as well
as awaiting the "Towing Boat" to begin moving. That is they are, with the exception of their heads, totally
submerged.
It is my opinion that if the Cal/Sag and other waterways are to be used for such full contact purposes, then
they should meet the IDPH water Quality Standards for Bathing Beaches.
If they do not meet those standards then warning signs should be placed at all boat launching ramps and
similar points of public access that a potential health hazard exists by full body contact or ingestion.

Fw: Your canoe tip over
Here is my sorry tale...On Friday July 11 I fell into the river while
getting into a canoe and was soaked to my armpits. I was helping Friends of
the Chicago River and their contractors, the Wetlands Initiative and the
Wetlands Research,
Inc., monitoring the Lathrop Wetland that they are attempting to establish
in the turning basin just south of Diversey Avenue on the North Branch. Two
canoes were lashed together side by side to provide stability while walking
(with waders) in the wetland area. At the end of the day the canoes were
separated and two of us decided to paddle back to the storage location on
Goose Island, about 2 miles south. Having become used to the stability of
the lashed canoes, I carelessly stepped in only to have the canoe roll over
on me. The water was shallow and so nothing was hurt but my dignity!

RECREATIONAL USES OBSERVED
ON THE CHICAGO AREA WATERWAYS
SUMMER 2003
Jayne Lilienfeld-Jones
3
October 2003
Background
As part of the Use Attainability Analysis currently being undertaken by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency, I conducted surveys of water-related recreation on the
Chicago River, Little Calumet River, Cal Sag Channel, and Lake Calumet. I made site
visits to the Chicago River on 7/13, 7/15, 7/09, the Calumet River on 7/06, 7/26, 8/17,
8/24 (Lake Calumet only), and 8/27. Observations were made from small motorboats
(john boat) with the help of the IEPA on some occasions and CDM (their contractor) on
others. Most observations were made on Saturdays or Sundays when presumably
recreational activity was at its highest.
Summary
By far the majority of recreational activity was the use of powerboats for cruising (not
including fishing). On the Calumet system I counted 727 cruising power boats and 45
such boats on the Chicago River. The powerboat count on the Calumet includes vacant
trailers parked at the 2 public boat launches on the Cal Sag, so it is likely that the total
count contains some redundancy. Lake Michigan is the likely destination for a good part
of this traffic — especially on the Calumet River. I never saw any commercial traffic
going through the O'Brien Lock. On the downtown section of the Chicago River there
are tour boats and water taxis. The tour boats run most of the year and offer dining,
sightseeing and architectural tours. The water taxis mostly ferry people between the two
downtown Metra stations and Michigan Ave.
After power boating, the most popular form of recreation for both the Chicago River and
the Calumet River is fishing. Fishing from the bank was observed to be much more
common than fishing from a boat. I counted a total of 101 bank anglers on the Calumet
system, and 111 on the Chicago River. I counted only 8 boat anglers on the Chicago
River, while on the Calumet there were 75. Most of those boats were 'bass boats'
designed specifically for fishing.
I saw little commercial traffic on the Chicago River (excluding tour boats, water taxis and
MWRD cleanup boats). I observed a barge moored at Cozzi Steel on the North Branch
south of Cortland Street being loaded with scrap metal. There was also a barge being
loaded with construction materials at the Material Service Corp. yard near the southern
tip of Goose Island. Under a South Branch bridge a barge was used as a construction
platform. Of course I observed barge traffic on the Calumet. Several times we hugged
the side of Cal Sag Channel as a raft of 6 barges (which the tow operators refer to as a 6-
pack) powered by a tug passed. I was 'struck by the fact that all these barges plus the tug
create less wake than most of the powerboats we saw. We also witnessed the arrival of
an exceptionally large barge, constructed with an aftward niche for an inserted tug (I
don't know the name for this kind of arrangement) that had just come in from Lake
Michigan and was unloading at Lafarge, a slag processing facility in the Calumet River
turning basin. There were always barges moored at the junction of the Cal Sag and the
Sanitary & Ship Canal. This is most likely due to the proximity of Hannah Marine,
which operates a large fleet of tugs.
Physical description of the Chicago River
The North Shore Channel begins at Wilmette Harbor, and passes through the
municipalities of Wilmette, Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood, and Chicago. The channel
banks are owned primarily by the Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, and are
leased as public open space for the majority of the channel. The banks are sloped earth,
and are mostly densely vegetated with weedy trees. Access to the water is limited to
street ends and few other points. The Skokie Park District has recently completed a
sculling center and canoe launch at Oakton Street, immediately upstream from the
MWRD's North Side Sewage Treatment Plant at Howard Street.
The North Branch of the Chicago River coming from the northwest side of Chicago
discharges into the North Shore Channel just south of Foster Avenue, and the waterway
continues as the North Branch. Downstream from this point land uses along the banks
include residential, public open space, and small amounts of commercial land for several
miles. The banks continue to be sloped earth, but public access to the water increases, as
there are several park and new residential developments that make a point of providing
canoe landings. The new parks and residential developments have replaced weedy tree
growth with higher-value landscaping.
Beginning around North Western Avenue commercial land uses become more
predominant and begin to include more industrial land as well. This pattern continues
nearly to the Loop. Commercial and industrial land also tends to have seawalls
constructed of concrete, steel, or wood, and are not accessible by the public. Commercial
land use developed in the last decade or so in the City of Chicago will have the requisite
30-foot setback from the river, with public access along the river in almost all cases.
Landscaping in these areas excludes weedy trees in favor of ornamentals and higher-
value native species.
Near the Loop land uses include more residential as well as commercial. New
developments will include accessible banks, although most have seawalls which separate
the public from the water by six to eight vertical feet; access into the water is not likely at
such sites.
The South Branch, beginning at Wolf Point, is primarily commercial, with several
notable residential buildings. Access to the water is limited to water taxi stops. The
banks are nearly all seawalls. South of the Loop, land use is composed primarily of
industrial uses, rail yards and boat yards, and some vacant land, although developers are
buying up vacant land for mixed use ventures, to include commercial and residential
land. Ping Tom Park in Chinatown is notable as an exception to the industrial land use.
At Ping Tom Park there is easy access to the water. River City, a residential development
is also an exception to the prevailing land uses. Seawalls and weedy trees predominate.
Bubbly Creek, also referred to as the South Fork of the South Branch has primarily
vacant and industrial land uses, but there is also a relatively new and up-scale single-
family residential area which provides public access along the waterway.
Physical Description of the Calumet Waterways
Lake Calumet, constructed by draining local wetlands, is unused as a port facility. The
margins of Lake Calumet include primarily low earth banks with weedy trees and shrubs.
Because its water source is from Lake Michigan, water quality appears good. There is no
public access, although a golf course is along one shore. From Lake Calumet, the
Calumet River leads to the O'Brien Lock, passing industrial land uses with seawalls.
Downstream from the lock there are significant landfill sites, and a series of small
marinas. Banks are earth slope with some riprap. There is little public access to the
waterway. At Acme Bend, industrial land uses become more intense, and includes the
MWRD's Calumet Sewage Treatment Plant, with its outfall.
Downstream from Acme Bend, the banks become increasingly steep, due to higher soil
elevation. The banks are heavily forested here, with a portion of the left bank being
occupied by Pipe-o-Peace Woods, a facility of the Cook County Forest Preserve District.
A few residential boat docks can be found on the right bank, although residences are only
scattered. This is also where the Water Reclamation District's half dozen sidestream
elevated pool aeration (SEPA) stations are to be found; they lift water from the waterway
and let it trickle back to entrain oxygen to be dissolved into the water.
Around 86th
Avenue (at Palos Hills), the land along the Cal-Sag Channel is leased by the
Water Reclamation District to the Cook County Forest Preserve District and is heavily
forested. This area is also where bedrock is at the surface, and the waterway's banks are
composed of incised Silurian dolomite, or rock cut. Although accessible to the public,
there are no facilities for boat launching or for individuals to get near to the water:
Beyond the banks are spoil piles left from when the Cal-Sag Channel was constructed
100 years ago. This land use continues for several miles, to the junction of the Cal-Sag
with the Sanitary and Ship Canal. There is no land use except for the Forest Preserves for
this reach.
Direct contact with the water
I observed several jet skiers – 6 on the Chicago River and 13 on the Calumet system. I
interviewed John Bickness of the Worth Police Department who manned the boat launch
at Howe's Landing on 7/26. He reported 30 jet skis launched on Sunday July 13. To get a
better idea of the number of jet skiers on the Calumet, Bickness suggested that I come out
to the boat launch on a Sunday to do a count. From this I gather that I've only observed a
small sample of the actual jet skiing activity on the Calumet waterway.
I observed one teenage boy trying to water ski on a boogie board in the Cal Sag. As he
was being dragged behind the boat, I observed a considerable amount of water being
sprayed into his mouth, eyes, and nose. I think Rob Sulski (IEPA) and Ron French
(CDM) also saw some water skiing on their survey trip in July. The 3 people I observed
swimming in the Little Calumet were attempting to hitch their disabled jet ski to a boat so
it could be towed. This happened right in front of the main outfall of the Calumet Sewage
Treatment Plant.
Whenever we encountered people in direct contact with the water we warned them about
the health risks. With few exceptions, they appeared either unconcerned or
uncomprehending. (We must have seemed like the police). I didn't see any swimming in
the Chicago River but I did see 2 rope swings, one between Cortland and Ashland, the
other north of Irving in Horner Park. I also observed a rope swing on the Cal Sag near
Stony Creek. There is no indication how frequently the rope swings are used but it
indicates the likelihood of children in the water.
Most waders entered the water in the process of launching boats. On the Chicago River
two of the three waders were associated with the canoe livery at Clark Park and the other
was fishing near the waterfall. On the Calumet, I noticed boaters standing in the water up
to their thighs while trying to launch a boat from a trailer. One woman had her feet in the
water while watching her 3 dogs swim in the Little Calumet. She reported that the dogs
swam regularly and were not adversely affected. I also saw a woman dangling her feet in
the water at a SEPA station.
Powerboats
By far the vast majority of recreational traffic on both waterways is powerboats. There
are a number of marinas along the Little Calumet that serve the recreational boating
community. There are also public boat ramps at Alsip, Worth, and in the Cook County
Forest Preserves. On July 26 we observed a
poker run.
Boaters pay a fee and race
between participating marinas in an attempt to assemble a winning poker hand. Alcohol
seems a part of the process. The event seemed to attract boaters who raced around the
Little Calumet in huge cigarette boats. Cigarette boats are designed for racing and I
understand are very expensive to run (one boater told me it cost him $800 to fill his tank).
Nevertheless they seem to be popular. Even without a special event there is considerable
powerboat traffic throughout the system. The boaters seemed very friendly. They always
waved to us as they sped by, but we were left to negotiate some sizeable wakes. In
CDM's small johnboat, we were almost swamped on several occasions.
On the Chicago River I observed plenty of powerboats as well. One of the main
differences is that there are fewer marinas. Two out of the three times on the Chicago
River we put in at the South Branch Marina under the Dan Ryan Expressway. The South
Branch Marina, Crowley's, and River City were the only marinas I noticed until we got
to the Ravenswood area on the North Branch. I did observe additional docks along the
North Branch, including those at 'Slow Down' and 'Green Dolphin Street,' both
restaurant/bars near Webster. Some of the recent residential developments on the river
have put up places to moor boats. Friends of the Chicago River has addressed this
growing trend with their newly drafted dock policy.
Fishing
On the Calumet waterway fishing is a very popular form of recreation. Some fishermen
take the sport very seriously driving fancy high tech 'bass boats.' These boats have
powerful motors in the back and small trolling motors in the front. The person fishing is
perched on what looks like a bar stool and can control the trolling motor with a foot
pedal. In the recent past there was a national "Bass Masters" fishing tournament that took
place on the Calumet and other area waterways. On 8/27 we met fisherman Herb Brown,
a Chicago policeman, on Lake Calumet. He has caught shad and bass in Lake Calumet
and the Cal Sag, and reports having seen fry. I specifically asked about fry because of
the question of weather fish were reproducing in the waterway or just moving through. I
also talked with a fisherman at one of the boat launches and he reported that there was a
lot of fish habitat even in the Cal Sag with its rock cut walls. He indicated that fissures in
the rock walls, downed trees, and even debris would serve as fish habitat. I didn't see the
same kind of serious boat-based fishing on the Chicago River. I counted only eight
fishing boats as.compared to 75 in the Calumet
system.
Fishing from the shore is also a common form of recreation along both waterways. One
of the most popular spots is the waterfall at River Park along the North Branch of the
Chicago River. People fish along the wingwalls surrounding the waterfall and the
wooded bank across the river from the weir. I observed one man wading into the river
with his fishing pole, the water reaching nearly to the top of his hip boots. Ping Tom
Park on the South Branch is another popular fishing spot. People sit on the park benches
or on top of the seawall and drop their lines in the water. It seems very serene and was
sometimes difficult to determine who was fishing and who was just relaxing, Fishing at
Ping Tom is similar to what I saw at the Forest Preserve boat launch on the Little
Calumet (could be Pipe o' Peace or Beaubean Woods Forest Preserve). I observed small
groups fishing under bridges, along the overgrown banks, and on outfall structures. My
speculation is that many are from a lower socioeconomic class, or even homeless. Could
they be fishing to supplement their diet? I asked a man who was fishing with a buddy
under the Church St. Bridge on the North Shore Channel. He denied that he ate any of
the fish he caught and seemed to understand about potential toxicity. It's difficult to
know what is really going on without establishing some kind of relationship with
members of this marginalized community. I noticed that many of these people were
minorities, notably Hispanic. Most were older men but I did observe some youths from
time to time. There is a regular fishing spot in one of stormwater outfalls just north of the
North Side Treatment Plant outfall. There are gang signs painted on the wing walls, beer
cans scattered around, and remnants of a campfire. Although I only saw people fishing
there once, it looks as if the site is regularly used.
Canoes and Kayaks and Shells
Canoes and kayaks are popular on the Chicago River. I observed a total of 25 canoes and
39 kayaks during my 3 survey trips. I suspect that most of the boats are from
Chicago
River Canoe and Kayak,
a livery located at Clark Park on the North Branch and at the
Skokie Park District boat launch at Oakton on the North Shore Channel. I also observed
canoes and kayaks stored by the sides of buildings like the East Bank Club and at
residences.
I did not observe a single canoe or kayak on the Calumet River. There are several
possible reasons: with so many powerboats and hard edges intensifying the turbulence of
boat wakes it would be treacherous for a small craft; maybe the working class population
around Calumet is not attracted to small human-powered boats; or maybe there are no
outfitters to rent them. Several years ago Friends of the River sponsored a canoe trip to
Lake Calumet area. We put in at the SEPA station next to the Torrence Ave. bridge.
Because the water was shallow it kept the motorboats away. In my opinion, if there were
better access to Lake Calumet, there would be more canoeists.
On my very last survey trip of the Chicago River I saw the Loyola Academy women's
sculling team working out on the North Shore Channel. They had 3 shells and a small
motorized johnboat. In the past I have seen races in which a number of schools compete
on the North Shore Channel. Onlookers sit on the steep bank to watch the races.

Hi Rob,
Here is the survey information from Calumet. Hopefully our results are similar. Let me know what you
think.
Are you aware that Chicago River Canoe and Kayak (the livery at Clark Park) has special events such as
'Pub Yaws' and 'Moonlight Paddling' that bring a lot of people out on the river at odd hours. A friend told
me about this. She has gone on a couple of these events over the past few years. FOCR also has canoe
events but I don't have details.

Stephanie,
Attached you will find two forms from our recreational survey along the
CAW on October 1, 2003.
We put in at South Branch Marina and travelled along South Branch, up to
and into the Main Branch,
up the North Branch, then North Shore Channel and back down same route
for return.
We turned around within the North Shore Channel just south of Dempster.
It was a sunny day somewhere in the mid 50s to 60 F.
Also I have the originals I
filled in, if you need those and I have the
ACOE maps that Bryan marked
exactly where we saw each boat and numbered those spots to correlate
with these forms submitted.
Let me know what address I should mail these to you at.
If you should have any questions or points for clarification, please
feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Janet

PORT DEVELOPMENT & SAFETY COUNCIL
Summary of Meeting
November 10, 2003
1:00 p.m.
Columbia Yacht Club
Discussion:
Topics discussed included the following:
1.
Area Maritime Security Plan - setting up subarea committees -USCG
CDR Terry Carter;
2.
Marine Event Notification Protocol - problem of impact of relatively
smaller events which do not meet the threshold requirements for official
permitting;
3.
Chicago Department of Transportation - commencement of new role for
CDOT
as point of contact/clearinghouse for
issues
relating to the Chicago
River; initial focus is to develop a traffic and safety plan - limited study
underway with Volpe with input from PDSC members; other important
issues include access, water quality, and development - Michelle Woods,
CDOT and Jackson Royal, Volpe (617.494.3409).
4.
PDSC Focus for 2004 - notion that PDSC should also become active in
helping to anticipate, articulate and resolve issues relating to waterway
safety and use, given the expertise and communications resources which
exists among its members.
Action Items:
1.?
Safety Working Group
It was agreed that the PDSC has the opportunity to perform a much needed educational
function for promoting safety, by utilizing the expertise of its members to develop
unofficial guides that can be published in print and on websites (e.g., MSO Chicago), to:
a)
develop an organizational guide/checklist
for event organizers
(which
will include description of how event organizers can evaluate whether their event will
have an impact on the waterway, and, if so, then who to go to and what to do);
b)
develop a user guide to utilizing the waterway.
The following individuals volunteered to lead the PDSC's effort to develop these guides:
Bob Agra, Gene Arbetter, Grant Crowley, Lloyd Karzen, Erik Pickering, Joe
Sarna, Susan Urbas, Earl Zuelke.
The first step will be to produce a rough draft which can then be circulated to all
members of the PDSC for their input.
2.
?
Membership Outreach
Concern was expressed that participation in the PDSC should include the Metropolitan
Water Reclamation District and the Chicago Park District. Susan Urbas will follow-up
with Terry O'Brien regarding potential MWRD participation and Michelle Woods will
follow-up with Bob Foster regarding potential Park District participation.
Determine Need/Set Date for Next Full PDSC Meeting:
LCDR David Fish requested that the next PDSC be set for early January.
Announcements:
There being no further matters to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 2:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan K.B. Urbas

Cal-Sag Channel viewed as corridor
for recreational development, tourism
The Chicago Southland Conven-
tion & Visitors Bureau unani-
mously passed a resolution on Nov.
19 to encourage and assist in the
planning and development of a
Calumet-Sag Channel corridor for
recreation and tourism.
The bureau took the action at
the urging of the Southwest Con-
ference of Mayors, which recently
adopted a similar resolution. The
South Suburban Mayors and Man-
agers Association anticipates pas-
sage of a similar resolution at its
December meeting_
The resolutions stress the need
for corcuriunication and coopera-
tion among local governments in
development plans for the Calu-
met-Sag ChanneL The resolutions
encourage regional organizations
to work together with the Metro-
politan Water Reclamation District
(MWRD), the Cook County Forest
Preserve District, and local park
districts and municipalities to ad-
vance development plans for the
corridor.
The Calumet-Sag Channel
is
an
underutilized Southwest Suburban
gem, according to Vicky Smith,
executive director of the Southwest
Conference of Mayors and mem-
ber of the board of the Chicago
Southland Convention & Visitors
Bureau. While some recreational
development has occurred along
the channel, no concerted effort
has been advanced to develop the
channel corridor as a tourism and
recreational destination for the
region. "The Southwest Conference
of Mayors looks forward to work-
ing with all interested parties,
including
the
bureau, the South
Suburban Mayors and Managers
Association, the MWRD, the forest
preserve district, and our Cal-Sag
municipalities and park districts
N
on such an exciting endeavor that
can potentially put the south/south-
west suburbs on the map as a
visitor attraction," Smith
said. "A
master plan for Cal-Sag develop-
ment can have a great economic
impact on the
entire
region."
Jim Garrett, visitor's bureau
president and CEO, agreed. "We've
realized the importance of the Cal-
Sag Channel to the Southland for
some time,
as
both a transporta-
tion route and an area ripe for
tourism development," Garrett
said. "The resolution adopted by
our board will focus efforts on
working with the MWRD and the
Forest Preserve District, plus our
local municipalities and park dis-
tricts, to create a corridor that will
welcome visitors, not sit hidden
from view."
Garrett envisions trails, restau-
rants, entertainment venues, at-
tractions, and marinas along the
Cal-Sag, bringing visitors that will
patronize these tourism amenities
and stay overnight in Southland
hotels and motels: Other regions
have taken underutilized and pol-
luted waterways and transformed
them into major visitor draws, and
Garrett
sees
no reason the South-
land cannot do so as well.
"We already have Lake Kathe-
rine, the Water's Edge Golf Course,
and the MWRD's SEPA waterfalls
along the Cal-Sag," Garrett said.
"Linking these attractions to other
potential tourism amenities
through an attractive, functional
trail system makes a great deal of
sense from a destination stand-
point. There's no reason
we
can't
have a "riverwalk" in the South-
land, just like downtown Chi-
cago!'
Bob Sullivan, Orland Park com-
munity development director and
member of the South Cook/North
Will County Planners Forum, said
9.
a plan for development of the chan-
nel
is
long overdue. "The northern
suburbs have made the North
Shore Channel a regional
amenity
with trails, sculpture gardens,
botanic gardens, an ecology center
and overall attractive open space.
There is no reason to keep the
Southland from doing even bet-
ter," Sullivan said. "Blue Island
already has a plan for Cal-Sag
development, and drawing all of
the Cal-Sag communities, the
MWRD and the forest preserve
district
in
at this early stage of the
planning process will bring conti-
nuity to the development, improve
the quality of life in the region,
arid instill even more pride in our
region as a wonderful place to live,
work and play."
The South Cook/No*th Will
County Planners Forum is a group
of Southland-area municipal plan-
ners who meet regularly to ana-
lyze Southland planning issues and
regional development. The group
also does probono work fox com-
munities that may not have mu-
nicipal planners. The group sees a
potential plan for the Calumet-Sag
Channel as an opportunity to be
involved in an ambitious project
from the ground up.
"This project can happen in a
relatively short time; the land is
publicly owned and it has the sup-I
port of numerous communities,"
Sullivan said. "Working as one
region, we have to create a visiot
for the canal corridor and wor
together to bring it to reality. This
has the potential to make a big
difference in the everyday lives of
thousands of people." Once all the
relevant organizations have
pledged their support for the
project, the Planners Forum will
begin the process of developing a
master plan for the channel. )

Laurene,
We (Chicago Rowing Center) row from the middle of March (March 13 this year)
through the middle of October (October 15 last year).
Some other members of the South Chicago Rowing Association begin maybe as
early as the first week of March, and row through maybe the middle of
November (weather permitting).
Thank you for including us.
Thanks,

Hi,
?
.
On the south side we see rowing from March to November, with the highest
volume in the spring (March-May) and fall (mid-August-November). The same
is true with the boat house on the near-north branch at North Ave. The
summers are active, but the high school teams who make up 2/3 of all the
rowers in the city aren't rowing then.

I got the numbers for recreational boat traffic heading upstream
(one-way), to the lake, through the O'brein Lock. They are for the
years 2001 to 2003, May through October. Thought you may like to use
them for the UAA, they're from the Army Corps.
The average record is 11,015 per year, so they are pretty much in line
with our estimate of 17,000 to 20,000 launches from Worth and Alsip
for
the same time period.

Rob,
I just attended your meeting on the Chicago River quality at the State of Illinois Bldg. and
I just wanted to tell you how happy I am to see that such efforts are being made to help clean up the river.
I had to leave the meeting early for work, but wanted to offer up info about our rowing groups in case you
need it.
First my name is Lisa Kallal. I am a rower for Chicago Rowing Center, which is located at corner of Lock
and Fuller, or the turning basin where bubbly creek begins. But there are several groups at our site South
Chicago Rowing Center.
We have about 20-30 competitive women rowers depending on the time of year and one novice program
with about 15 rowers. We row from mid-March to mid-Oct.
There is also St. Ignatius High School, which can possibly have 50 rowers go out on a daily basis during
the fall and
. spring seasons.
Univ. of Chicago also rows during the fall and spring seasons. They have at least
30
rowers.
Chicago Youth Rowing Club rows more sporadically. I am not sure on their numbers.
Kenwood Academy is also at our site, but has not been rowing as of late.
At times the local colleges and high schools will have competitive scrimmages from our location. The
shipping canal is perfect for rowing, because it is straight so no turns to get around and we can see on-
coming boats better.
Bubbly creek is pretty small to get in a good row for a competitive team, but its shielded from the wind a
little more, which makes it easier for novice boats. Plus barges and speed boats tend to avoid it.
I have been rowing out of the south location for the last four years and have seen a visual improvement in
how much trash is in the water. However bacteria is the great unknown that we can't see. Thus, if we can
be of any help in helping the EPA clean up the river, please let us know.
We are having a neighborhood picnic at our site on May 22...please let me know if you would like to come.

The Chicago Union Rowing and Paddling Foundation will be hosting
the 4th Annual Chicago Chase rowing regatta on November 6, 2004.
The Chicago Union runs this annual fall regatta to support the
Lincoln Park Juniors, a high school club rowing team offering the
sport of rowing to a socio-economically diverse group of
approximately 80 students from around the Chicago area.
As in the previous two years, the Chicago Chase will be holding
this event on the northern branch of the Chicago River from
Wolf's
.
Point (Lake Street) to north of the North Avenue bridge.
The. Chicago Chase last year brought in over 400
. participants and
more than 600 onlookers from several states throughout the
Midwest. In anticipation of the event this year, we would like.to
notify you of this regatta so as to avoid any conflicts with
other events on the Chicago River. Please see the attached
document for further details about the 2004 Chicago Chase. We are
excited to once again hold this event near the downtown Chicago
area, which provides an exciting and beautiful backdrop to the
race, and a great incentive for visiting teams to attend the
event.
If you no longer work on these type of events related to the
Chicago River, I sincerely apologize! I would like to update the
contact list from two years ago, so if you know of a better
person within your department for me to contact regarding the
race, please let me know if possible. I would greatly appreciate
it! If you have any questions regarding this event, please do not
hesitate to contact me, Rachel Waterston, at 773/750-7212 or
drwaterman©hotmail.com
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to a great race in
November!
Sincerely,
Rachel Waterston

Rob,
Attached is the electronic version of the Chase letter you received and
asked for. Thank you for including us in your consideration of the zoning of
the Chicago River. The Lincoln Park Juniors are avid users of the river and
likely use the river more than anyone else!
The Chicago Chase launch site at the turning basin at North Avenue is also
our launching/docking site for practices for both LPJ and the LPBC (Lincoln
Park Boat Club - separate organization) rowing teams. Crews are on the water
from the end of February/beginning of March all the way through the
beginning of November. From early March through early June, and from the end
of August through the beginning of November, LPJ practices six days a week -
Monday - Friday from 4:15- 6:30, and Saturday mornings. For any one
practice, LPJ will have about 8-10 rowing boats on the water with safety
launches alongside (we have approximately 80 kids on the team). During the
summer months of late June through July, LPJ practices in the mornings from
6-8am, Monday - Saturday. The LPBC rowing teams practice out of the same
site Monday - Thursday 6:30-8:30pnn and Saturday and Sunday mornings from
late March through mid-October, and generally have 1-2 rowing boats on the
water..
Crews travel both north and south from North Avenue each practice. Because
LPJ has so many boats practicing at the same time, generally about half our
crews head south and half head north. When travelling north, in one practice
our northern limit is around Lawrence and our southern limit is around Ping
Tom Park at 22nd street.
We certainly appreciate you taking us into account when looking at river
users and zoning. Our kids are frequent users of the river and we are always
looking for ways to make it safer to be out on the water with so many other
river users. We appreciate what you are trying to do, and please let us know
if you need any other information.
Sincerely,
Rachel Waterston

CHICAGO RIVER ROWING & PADDLING CENTER
OPEN HOUSE & LEARN TO ROW DAY
Saturday, June 12, 2004
8:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m.
(Rain or Shine)
Please join us at CRRPC's annual Open House and Learn to Row
Day.
Festivities will include refreshments, tours of the. Interim Boating Center,
rowing videos, membership information, technical demonstrations on the rowing
ergometer, free mini-rowing lessons (8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. only), and sales of
official CRRPC team shirts and other rowing gear (cash or check only).
This event is part of the National Learn to Row Day sponsored by the
United States Rowing Association/USRowing.
The Chicago River Rowing & Paddling Center, formerly known as the
Chicago River Rowing Club, was established in 1979. CRRPC is the oldest boat
club on the Chicago River and was the first organization to provide access to the
River for the pursuit of canoeing, kayaking and rowing on the Chicago River. It
continues to be the only organization which provides access for human-powered
craft on the Main Branch (downtown portion) of the Chicago River. Co-founder
and president of CRRPC, Susan K.B. Urbas, was also a founding member of the
Friends of the Chicago River and was formerly chair of the U.S. Women's
Olympic Rowing Committee. CRRPC is celebrating its 25
th
anniversary in 2004.
The Chicago River Rowing & Paddling Center is located on the south side
of the Chicago River where Lake Shore Drive crosses over the River (that is,
between Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive at the level of the River). It sits
between the Lake Shore Drive bridge tower and the archway over the footpath
that runs along the south side of the River between Michigan Avenue and Lake
Shore Drive. The entrance to the Interim Boating Center is on the west end of
the archway and bridge tower (near the north end of DuSable Harbor). When
you see black iron gating covered with forest green fabric, you are there.
If you are driving, you should go east on Randolph Street (the middle level
- not the upper level) - the east end of which slopes down to the lower level and
then dumps into a cul-de-sac that functions as the entrance to DuSable Harbor.
The Interim Boating Center is directly north of there by foot (follow along the
sidewalk/footpath next to DuSable Harbor; when you come to the end of that
walkway, you will be at the River, facing north; take a sharp left (going west from
there, and walk under the arched walkway). At the end of the archway, the
Interim Boating Center will be to your right.
Parking is available for $10/day in the DuSable Harbor parking lot under
Lake Shore Drive (entrance to it is close to the above-mentioned cul-de-sac) or
at meters on the upper, middle, and lower levels of Randolph and Columbus. If
you use the DuSable Harbor parking lot, drive to the north end of the lot, park on
the west side of the lot, and walk directly north to the Interim Boating Center.
Please drop in anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on June 12th.
Persons wishing to partake of a free mini rowing lesson should arrive between
8:00 a.m. – 11:00, and be dressed in comfortable athletic clothing (e.g., t-shirt,
running or biking shorts, socks, athletic shoes).

Rob,
I would estimate the number of paddlers at Chicago River Canoe & Kayak as:
2001 - 2,000 (one location)
2002 - 3,000 (one location)
2003 - 5,000 (two locations)
2004 - already about 5,000 thus far (two locations)

Hey, Nicole. The only thing I have on this is the knowledge that at
least two canoe trips on Lake Calumet occurred or were scheduled as a
part of the Calumet Stewardship Initiative. Do you have any more
information on the canoe trips (dates, number of participants) or any
other such DOE sponsored waterway recreational activities or events
that
occurred over the last three years, so I can include this information
in
the Use Attainability Analysis report? I have much of the info
piecemeal from UAA meetings, however, I am making one last check so I
don't miss anything. Power boating activities need not be reported.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Here is my best guess estimate for our event numbers.
These numbers were compiled from different program people on staff, and come from their estimates. I
tried to give overall program/year totals in the first column. I also broke it out into zones for you so that
you could see estimates and totals by region for the different types of events that we have.
Hope this helps,

Subject: City of Evanston's Response to Planned Recreational use of the
Upper North Shore Channel
Dear Mr. Sulski:
The City of Evanston ("City") regards the Upper North Shore Channel ("Channel")
as an important recreational resource for its residents, as well as surrounding
communities. Over the last few years, the City has noticed a considerable
increase in use of the Channel by canoeists, kayak boaters, and surrounding
high school and college crew/rowing teams. The City's Parks/Forestry &
Recreation Department now sponsors canoeing activities on the Channel through
the Evanston Ecology Center programs. The Evanston Ecology Center and Ladd
Arboretum, as a coalition, maintain the public parkway along the Channel and
promote its conservation. The parkway itself is easily accessible from ail parts of
Evanston and is a wonderfully-maintained open space used for walking, jogging,
and biking. Throughout the year environmental educators from the Ecology
Center offer basic instruction in canoeing and guide Channel canoe tours,
pointing out the flora and fauna of the region. Experienced canoe and kayak
boaters can now launch their own vessels down-Channel at the relatively-new
Skokie Channel side Park, located north of Oakton and
1/2
block east of
McCormick Boulevard.
The City is currently looking for ways to further promote usage of the Channel for
recreational activities. In this regard, some of the short-term improvements
under consideration for inclusion in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) are
as follows:
$2©ATHIA
"
SEP 1 7 2004
Div. Water Pollution Control
• Improvements to bike paths on the eastern bank of the Channel. This
could include directing bike paths under the roadway bridges across the
Channel so that bikers can avoid crossing busy roads such as Emerson,
Church and Dempster streets.
• Establishing nature paths and overlooks along the banks of the Channel
that will enhance opportunities for wildlife viewing and study.
• Establishing piers and improved canoe access for disabled persons and
the elderly (an important consideration for an aging population).
The measured water quality of the Ch

Contact usage. Over the long term,
the City of Evanston would like to see improvement
.
in the water quality to
eventually allow full contactrecreationSo that the recreation potential of the
channel could be fully realized. Such a rb=designation Would allow access to the
Channel for fishing and WatercOntact
-actiVities Such as Wading, swimming and
"floating" on inflatables. This' wOUld represent
,
asignifiCant increase in
recreational resources for the -
communities, especially in the moderate-income
residential areas of western Evanston.
In order to achieve this long-term goal ;of re- :designation, the City realizes that the
current measured water quality of the Channel will have to be significantly
improved. Therefore, the City of Evanston strongly supports the
recommendations in the IEPA Chidag6Area Waterway System UAA to improve
the water quality in the channel by implementation of the following steps:
Increasing the flow of the Channel by diversion of a portion of the
MWRD's Skokie Plant effluent to the head of the Channel as well as by
introducing screened surface stormwater runoff.
2. Introducing supplemental artificial water aeration through cascading weir
or other proven methods.
3. Implementing a non-residual disinfection process for the MWRD Skokie
plant discharge.
4. Channel bank improvements to encourage growth of emergent aquatic
vegetation. The use of constructed wetland treatment of surface storm
water runoff only (as opposed to combined sewer and stormwater
discharge) would greatly improve wildlife habitat as well as water quality in
the channel.
The City of Evanston, with the support of the Evanston Environment Board, is
currently developing a public educational program for the Evanston community to
increase the awareness of the educational and recreational potential of the
Upper North Shore Channel and to promote its usage for such purposes.
Sincerely,
Jefdith A: Aiello

Volunteer E-News – Fall 2005
Happy Friends of the Chicago River Day!
Mayor Richard M. Daley has proclaimed today, September 1, 2005, as Friends of
the Chicago River Day in recognition of our 25 years of work to protect and
highlight the Chicago River as a vital natural resource to the City of Chicago.
This proclamation is only the beginning of what will become an exciting year
celebrating the last 25 years of river improvement with Friends of the Chicago
River and establishing a vision for the next 25 years. With all of the exciting
things happening in our lives, this seemed like the perfect time to send out
e-news to all of our friends.

MICHIGAN AVEUNE FISH HOTEL
Ichthyologically* speaking, some of Chicago's most overlooked residents now have
a new home in the Chicago River. Celebrating it's latest success, Friends'
Adopt A River Downtown (AARD) program announces Chicago's newest river-edge
residences, the Michigan Avenue Fish Hotel.
Funded through AARDs' River Improvement Fund, the Michigan Avenue Fish Hotel is
multi-level condo living for fish, aquatic bugs and other wildlife right in the
heart of downtown. The two levels of the fish hotel are composed of floating
island planted with a variety of native plants and submerged fish cribs. The
planted island structure and the fish cribs provide much needed shelter, food
and protection for wildlife. The planting area also includes some logs that
would provide a place for turtles to sun themselves once they find the hotel.

Subject: RE: Summit Boat Launch
The lease for this site is to the Village of Summit. According to Susan
Morakalis of our Law Dept., they are not allowed to form a boat club for
this facility, nor are they allowed to charge resident/non-resident
fees, only 1 set fee for everyone.
The mayor of Summit referred me to Judy Rivera of the Village of Summit.
She has a set of keys and concurred with the Mayor that it is
essentially run by the people who had the old boat club, because the
Village does not have the resources to run it. She indicated that the
public has not been given any restrictions on what they can or cannot
launch at that facility. She stated that the fire and police dept. have
keys along with MW RD and two sets to the people "managing" the site.
I also spoke with Jack Liekis who is the contact for "managing" the
site. He stated that the launch handles 15' to 25' pleasure boats,
fishing boats...maybe one canoe and just a handful of jet skis this past
season. They are no loner open for the season, they closed 10-15-06.
They will open sometime before Memorial Day in '07. This year it was
Sat., Sun. and Wed. Next year, they may add a day.
I indicated to Ms. Rivera that we would be placing some advisory fliers
at the site and she said that would be fine.

BIG FISH BALL
The Big Fish Ball is Friends' newest event that will be our annual gala

variety of tasks that need to be filled some sooner and some day-of. See
the critical areas below.

address and get out the invitations to the Big Fish Ball. There is a grand
total of 4,500 invitations that need to be hand-addressed, personalized with
notes and mailed out. We need at least half of the group to have good
handwriting for the notes and addresses. Others will be stuffing, stamping
and whatever else is needed to get the invites out.

arrive. We will need to give you the code to enter the building. Walkups
are acceptable but you will need to contact the staff person in charge that
evening. We will post a sign in the lobby with the number to call.
**HOTEL & DINNER DRAWING**
Everyone who volunteers to help with the Big Fish Ball Mailing Nights will
be entered into a drawing for a 1-night hotel stay with luxury
accommodations at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. If you volunteered last year,
you get an extra entry form. The volunteers from all three nights will be
entered into a drawing. If a volunteer shows up for all three nights, the
volunteer will have three entries in the drawing. Volunteers must commit to
a minimum of 2 hours of work to qualify.
CHICAGO RIVER DAY
River Day is right around the corner - Saturday, May 12th. I have attached
the event flier for you to check out. Besides volunteering at a site on the
12th, we have two other areas of crucial need for volunteers.
Wednesday, May 9th = Packing Night
LOCATION - Fletcher Chicago, 1000 N. North Branch Street.
TIME - 5:30 - 8 p.m.
JOB DESCRIPTION - Packing night is the Wednesday before River Day. We will
be packing a box for every site that will have volunteers working the
following Saturday. We will be packing t-shirts, garbage bags, gloves,
sponsor giveaways and more for all 66 sites.
PERKS - All volunteers will receive a dinner, snacks and beer for their
efforts. Also, volunteers can get their Chicago River Day t-shirts
featuring the Red Fox.
RSVP - Call Cynthia (312) 939-0490, ext. 13 or cfox@chicacioriver.orq. RSVP
is highly encouraged so we can order enough food and give proper directions
or arrange your transportation.
**HOTEL DRAWING**
Everyone who volunteers for packing night will be entered into a drawing for
a 1-night hotel stay for two people at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago. I'M
NOT KIDDING. If 10 people show up, those are the 10 people we will chose
from. You can't beat those odds with a stick! Volunteers must commit to a
minimum of 2 hours of work to qualify. Want an extra chance to win?? If
