Judge moves to dismiss lawsuit asking to prevent carp from entering Lake Michigan
(MCT) — CHICAGO — A federal judge has moved to dismiss a lawsuit brought by five Great Lakes states that are seeking to close Chicago-area locks to prevent Asian carp from invading Lake Michigan.
In the opinion and order issued Monday, U.S. District Judge John Tharp Jr. acknowledged that the court was “mindful of, and alarmed by, the potentially devastating ecological, environmental, and economic consequences that may result from the establishment of an Asian carp population in the Great Lakes.”
