Kankakee River Basin and Yellow River Basin Development Commission Recommendation
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommends the removal of four emergent islands on the Yellow River between Range Road in Starke County and the channel's confluence with the Kankakee River due to drainage obstructions, exacerbated erosion, and sediment deposit. The TAC suggests that the emergent island removal immediately downstream of Range Road serve as a pilot project before removing the three FWA islands in upstream to downstream order.
