Project Description: The Brandon Road project is a federal risk management plan including a layered system of structural controls and non-structural measures to prevent to the maximum extent possible the transfer of aquatic nuisance species from the Mississippi River Basin into the Great Lakes Basin while minimizing impacts to waterway uses and users. The non-structural plan includes managing the waterway below Brandon Road as a ‘population reduction zone’ where monitoring and overfishing would occur. The structural plan includes a new control point at Brandon Road Lock and Dam in addition to the control point that is already provided by the electric dispersal barrier at Romeoville, Illinois. The new structural control point will include an engineered channel, acoustic deterrent, a bubble deterrent, an electric deterrent, and flushing lock. Increment I-A includes leading edge bubble deterrent, leading edge acoustic deterrent, automated barge clearing deterrent, support buildings, upstream boat launch.
