Abstract: Section 206 of the Water Resources Development Act gives the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) authority to carry out aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection projects so long as the project improves environmental quality, is in the public interest, and is cost effective. This Section 206 Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration study evaluates the feasibility of restoring a portion of the North Branch Chicago River at Horner Park to a more natural state. The site totals about 14 acres encompassing approximately 2,600 feet of riverbank. Chicago Park District (CPD), the non-Federal sponsor, currently owns the park land and is willing and able to obtain the stream bank from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) through a Channel Improvement Easement.
