Conscious Choice: The Calumet Initiative |
 | | However, the main reason this natural gem survived is that for decades, Calumet area residents and several organizations worked and fought hard to protect and preserve the pockets of habitat, especially in the 1980s, when they resisted efforts of the city to demolish the homes in Hegewisch and build Chicago’s third airport. |
| | Therefore, to meet their needs, and keep communication flowing, the first Calumet Research Summit was held in May 2000 to collect and synthesize as much of the existing information as possible, as well as encourage interdisciplinary thinking, provide a forum to share findings, and define opportunities for collaboration and priority setting. |
| | In February 2006, the Calumet Hydrologic Master Plan was released, describing the watershed boundaries, groundwater and surface water level monitoring and stage-discharge relationships, water control structure analysis, and identification of hydrologic connections between parcels. |
