• 4.7.2009 -NPDES Pile Locations layer added
  A layer from the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) showing the locations of active state-regulated wastewater facility permit discharge points discharging into surface water bodies is now available from the LakeRim Downloads page. You may view this layer on the LakeRim site using this link, which was generated using the Hyperlink tool on the interactive map page. For more information, see the layer's metadata.
• 3.19.2009 - USACE Project layer added
  A layer showing the locations of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects is now available from the LakeRim Downloads page. The layer shows the locations of 25 projects in the Indiana portion of the Chicago District. For more information, see the layer's metadata.
• 3.12.2009 - LakeRim tool improvements
  Two map tools on the LakeRim site were recently updated, making them easier to use and reducing the potential for errors. The Identify Tool now displays layer attribute information in an existing map frame, rather than in a popup window. This will eliminate popup blocker problems that users have experienced in the past. The Zoom to Address tool was also streamlined, reducing the number of search options from seven to three. This makes the tool easier to use, while retaining the same basic functionality.
• 10.8.2008 - Updated LakeRim site now available
  After many months of planning and work, the updated LakeRim Web site is now online. With more than 200 layers of information, this site is the most comprehensive resource for geographic information for the Indiana portion of the Lake Michigan coastline. The updated LakeRim site includes many new data layers (including extensive sets of aerial photos dating back to the late 1980s), FGDC-compliant metadata for downloadable map layers, new tools for data analysis and map output, and links to other information resources for the Lake Michigan region.
• 8.25.2008 - Coastal aerial photos from IDNR to be featured on new LakeRim map
  Work is currently underway at the Indiana Geological Survey to create image mosaics of more than 1,000 aerial photos depicting the Lake Michigan shoreline from 1987 through 2008. The images were collected by the Lake Michigan Coastal Program of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. When these images go live on the LakeRim map in early fall, they will provide seamless views of the Lake Michigan shoreline spanning the past 20 years.
