00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.520
Invited all of these people together to be designers.

2
00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:50.920
Once every three days or so, or every time it rains, combined sewer overflow filling

3
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.200
the river equals a million people's worth of human waste.

4
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.720
Deep tunnel is finished, about 85% of the press pollution will be removed.

5
00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:05.140
There's no end to the kinds of things that we could do along the river.

6
00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:09.780
We put our minds to it. We're standing right here in what could be a wonderful park.

7
00:01:09.940 --> 00:01:14.380
And this is Wolf Point, you know, a very historic point in the history of Chicago.

8
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:15.840
We're totally at Mark Kepman.

9
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.440
The cost is on getting rid of the solids, handling the solids.

10
00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:35.660
During that six hours, how much of the volume goes up to the other end?

11
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.840
About 99.5%.

12
00:01:44.660 --> 00:01:52.600
Deep tunnel is a tunnel in the rock, about 30 feet wide, down 300 feet underneath the river.

13
00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:58.060
And that tunnel will capture all the combined sewer overflow now going into the river

14
00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:01.160
and carry it to the sanitary district treatment plants.

15
00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:39.820
Well, the sanitary district really spends a lot of time on the water.

16
00:02:39.820 --> 00:02:43.080
It forces its ordinances on water pollution.

17
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.260
You are not allowed to clean the water.

18
00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:51.240
You cannot put any toxic substances into the Chicago River

19
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.580
any more than you could put any into Lake Michigan.

20
00:03:11.660 --> 00:03:16.200
The Resilator River is absolutely beautiful.

21
00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:18.260
And look at this.
