Officials from The United States Army Corps of Engineers recently concluded a series of meetings with the public, discussing the Corps' long awaited plan to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes. If approved, the plan would add and electronic barrier, underwater speakers and a flush system at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam on the Illinois River to keep the fish from heading upstream.
