U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates electric fish barriers in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) to prevent dispersion of aquatic nuisance species. Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) concluded a threat to human life is possible within the electrified zone due to voltage gradients present. USCG Research and Development Center (RDC) (SAIC as contractor) conducted study to investigate safe rescuer response actions to assist a person- in-the-water (PIW). Project Approach: Meet stakeholders and tour facilities, review literature and data, design and conduct instrumented experiments and report on results.
