Lake County has hired a GIS consultant who will be in-house soon. The consultant will be in contact with municipalities and private industry to see what data they have and what they are doing. His presentation showed how GIS could be used to determine the type, concentration, and location of contaminated sediments in the Grand Calumet River and Indiana Harbor. 328 sample locations were sited creating approximately 33,000 chemical records. By linking various tables, different data can be visualized.
