SUMMARY:Geo-Institute Dinner Meeting: NEORSD Project Clean Lake - Planning\, Design\, and Construction of CSO Tunnels
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we learn about the Project Clean Lake! It is a 25‑year program being implemented by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) in Cleveland\, OH. The program’s goal is to reduce annual raw sewage discharges into Lake Erie by more than 4 billion gallons annually. When completed in 2036\, it will enable the capture and treatment of more than 98% of wet‑weather flows within the District’s combined sewer system. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you want to learn more information about our speaker and event\, click here.\n\n\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Geo-Institute Dinner Meeting: Construction of the Chicago Spire
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we learn about the construction of the Chicago Spire! When the Chicago Spire project was mothballed in 2008 at the onset of the Great Recession\, many wondered what would become of the site. For years\, the site sat vacant with only “Chicago’s Largest Swimming Pool” as evidence of the previous work. Fast forward 18 years and the north tower of the 400 N Lake Shore Drive complex is well on its way to its full height of 875 feet. This presentation explores the original construction of the Chicago Spire foundations and earth retention\, how it was incorporated into the new 400 N LSD development\, and new additions that are bringing the latest project to life.\n\n\n\n \n\n\nIf you want to learn more information about our speakers\, click here.\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPrice: $25-$70\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:GI/AEG Joint Meeting with speaker Christopher Stohr
DESCRIPTION:Join Geo-Institute and The Association of Environmental Engineering & Geologist (AEG) for a joint dinner meeting with presenter\, Christopher Stohr on Retrospective of the Earthline Hazardous-Waste Landfill Failure\, a Case Study of Legacy Landfills and Dumps and Improving Field Inspections to Reduce Groundwater Contamination.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \nSubject of a landmark\, legal-precedent setting trial\, an unlined\, hazardous-waste landfill was said by experts ‘not to leak in 100 years’ however\, contaminants were detected in monitoring wells 3 meters from the burial trenches only 3 years after closure. Field and lab tests\, and remote sensing measurements showed causes for the ‘faster than predicted’ contaminant migration from a hazardous waste landfill\, but why? Legacy landfills are unlined\, thinly-covered cemeteries of waste similarly constructed throughout the world. Most landfill inspections mostly rely upon institutional memory and traditional ‘walk over’ traverses to identify flaws and deficiencies for written reports. These defects can be better identified and mapped by image processing of freely-available airborne lidar\, historical black and white photography and modern color infrared orthoimagery using GIS technology to direct low-cost\, spot repairs for maintenance and custodial care to reduce undesired contamination from legacy waste structures. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Christopher ‘Chris’ Stohr (retired\, Illinois State Geological Survey\, Prairie Research Institute\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)\, Mahomet Aquifer Council\, Illinois Board of Licensing for Professional Geologists\, currently 2025-2026 Richard H. Jahns Distinguished Lecturer. \nChris Stohr continues professional and community work after more than 40 years of applied geology\, research and humanitarian work in the midwestern USA\, Africa and South America. Obtaining a BS in Geology at Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer IN and MS in Engineering Geology at Purdue University developing applications for innovative digital image processing of remotely sensed imagery at the Laboratory for Applications of Remote Sensing. Chris began work at the Missouri Geology and Land Survey performing investigations for dams\, sewage lagoons\, hazardous and nuclear waste sites\, dye tracing\, dumps and landfills in the Ozarks and throughout that state; directed an inventory of 3\,600 dams; and conducted a site selection study for hazardous waste disposal facilities in Missouri. He worked as part of a Shannon and Wilson team conducting special fault studies\, reconnaissance mapping\, trench mapping and paleomagnetic studies for nuclear power plant in central Iran using U.S. NRC procedures. \nRegister Here \nPrice Range: $25-70 \nQuestions contact asceilgeotech@gmail.com \nGI and AEG Joint Dinner Flyer 1/20/26

This corridor had not seen any significant improvements since originally built in the 1950s and connects downtown Chicago to the west side along I-290. In 2022\, Kiewit was the apparent bid winner on this $105 million dollar project to rebuild the first section of track between the IMD station and UIC-Halsted. The project was awarded March 1\, 2023 with a planned full shutdown of the blue line in July; just four months later. This presentation will provide an overview of the project\, its challenges\, and successes encountered.\n\n\n\n\n\nContact:\n\n\nSamhar Hoz with any questions at: asce.il.struct@gmail.com\n\n\n
