The Northeast-Midwest Institute and the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee (ACRCC) will host a Congressional Briefing on the 2017 Asian Carp Monitoring and Response Plan and the Upper Illinois Waterway Contingency Response Plan.

With the recent finding of a silver carp below the T.J. O’Brien Lock and Dam in June, the briefing will focus on the ACRCC’s two week intensive sampling of the Illinois waterway, as outlined in the Contingency Response Plan.  Likely participants at the briefing will include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Environmental and Protection Administration, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
