FISH BARRIER STRAY CURRENT MITIGATION PROJECT

The Fish Barrier inhibits Invasive Species (Asian Carp) from migrating upstream into Lake Michigan. The main office is located at 790 East Old, Romeo Rd, Romeoville, IL 60446. The project involves the replacement of existing fences and gates located at the Fish Barrier campus (east and west side of the canal) and neighboring fences adjacent to the Fish Barrier campus. These fences and gates will be replaced with non-conductive fences to address touch potential arising from the presence of stray currents. Existing fences removed from the Fish Barrier campus will be salvaged and reused at other locations on the campus where risks of stray currents are low. Other stray current mitigation features include placements of grounding meshes and rods at various areas within the property grounds. The project will also include repairs of holes and tears along the existing Des Plainer River by-pass fence fabric, and installation of a treated lumber barrier at the base of the fence. The repairs to the fence fabric and installation of the barrier will be limited to 1.5 mile section of fencing. Lastly, the project will include the placement of gravel at the unpaved segment of old Romeoville road to fill depressed areas and level the road.
