CSSC Marine Safety Risk Assessment- Interim Summary

Abstract

The Coast Guard R and D Center (RDC) conducted four phases of a marine safety risk assessment for the waters of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in the vicinity of the Aquatic Invasive Species Electrified Dispersal Barrier (MM 296.5), Romeoville, IL. The main goal of this work is to determine the adequacy of present risk mitigation strategies, and if necessary, recommend alternatives to the present strategies. To date, the work includes: (1) a data-driven, event-tree based preliminary risk analysis, (2) shore measurements to categorize electrical currents at the Oxbow Midwest Calcining barge loading facility, (3) review and analysis of canal transits through the barrier zone, and (4) review of regulatory development and rule changes since the initial operation of the barrier through the present.
