In 2016, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and six fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 23) and downstream-bound (n = 22) directions. A 1,200 kHz Teledyne RDI Channel Master Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM) was mounted on the barge at the position of the rake-to-box junction. The ADVM faced outward from...

This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and six fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 23) and downstream-bound (n = 22) directions. A 3,000 kHz SonTek Argonaut SW Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM) was mounted on the barge at the position of the rake-to-box junction. The ADVM faced outward from the side...

In August 2015, water velocities around a fully-loaded commercial barge tow were measured as the barge tow traveled upstream through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal from a starting position in Lockport Pool, and passed through the Electric Dispersal Barrier System at river mile (RM) 296 near Romeoville, IL. Velocity measurements were made in and alongside the gap formed by the junction between the boxed stern of a rake hopper barge and the raked bow of a rake tanker barge (herein referred to as the rake-to-box junction gap) using two SonTek Argonaut SW 3kHz acoustic Doppler velocity meters (ADVM). One ADVM was mounted 0.091 meters below the water surface, facing downward in the center of the rake-to-box junction...

This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and six fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 23) and downstream-bound (n = 22) directions. A 600 kHz Teledyne RDI Channel Master Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM), was mounted on the west canal wall at a depth of approximately 5.5 feet (1.7 meters), as measured...

In 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook a large-scale interagency field study to determine the influence of commercial barge vessels on the efficacy of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) in preventing fish passage. This study included a series of trials in which a tow, consisting of a tug vessel and fully-loaded barges, transited the EDBS in both upstream-bound (n = 65) and downstream-bound (n = 66) directions. A 600 kHz Teledyne RDI Channel Master Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter (ADVM), was mounted on the west canal wall at a depth of approximately 5.5 feet (1.7 meters), as measured on...

Water temperature (degrees Celsius) and specific conductance (microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius; TC) were measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995, located at Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System in Romeoville, Illinois. The TC data were measured every five minutes at four gage height levels above the gage datum (P1 = 21 feet, P2 = 17 feet, P3 = 13 feet, P4 = 9 feet). The gage datum is 551.76 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Daily mean and five-minutes water temperature and specific conductance data were downloaded from the National Water Information System (NWIS) database and stored in Comma Separated Values (CSV)...

This dataset contains a summary of the characteristics of near-surface flow reversals at the Electrical Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois during Water Year 2018 (October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018). Water velocity near the water surface is measured on a five-minute sampling interval in the EDBS using surface velocity radar at nine measurement cells on a cross section near U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 05536995 (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois). Flow reversal events are analyzed for each individual cell as well as for the average velocity over all nine cells. For the analysis of individual cells, a flow reversal event is...

A motion-activated video camera documented the passage of commercial tows through the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, over the period October 17, 2019, to September 30, 2020. Videos were manually screened and analyzed to extract tow characteristics including date and time of video recording, number and configuration of barges, loading of barges (loaded, unloaded, or mixed), direction of travel, and bow type (rake or box). Only commercial vessels were logged and no identifying data about the tow vessels were maintained. All videos triggered by recreational vessels or other objects were permanently removed from the database during analysis. Any...
