The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Chicago District, together with the City of Chicago, is currently conducting a feasibility study on ecosystem restoration for the South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River, also known as Bubbly Creek. The Bubbly Creek ecosystem has been severely degraded by major physical alterations, including deepening and widening the channel, creating sheet pile banks, complete filling of wetlands within the original drainage area, severe hydrologic alterations, and introduction of polluted sediments and runoff. Ecosystem restoration will improve water quality, protect public health, restore habitat, and revitalize economic development.
