This section declares another stretch of the West Fork of the Chicago River's South Branch nonnavigable. The stretch runs between two described lines in Cook County, Illinois. Congress keeps the right to change or cancel this rule.

This is one undivided provision covering the West Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River in Cook County, Illinois. The stretch in question runs between two lines: the west line of the Sanitary District's Collateral Channel (extended north), in the northwest quarter of section 36, township 39 north, range 13 east; and a line 1,300 feet east of, and parallel to, the west line of section 30 (which runs along South Western Avenue), same township and range — in the city of Chicago. That stretch, whether it stays as it is now or gets extended later, is declared to be a nonnavigable stream under the Constitution and laws of the United States. The section reserves the right to alter, amend, or repeal it later.
