Manual For Small and Emergency Projects

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The Manual for Small and Emergency Projects gives you complete information, with definintions, on how to apply for emergency status and handle small and emergeny projects. By statute, construction contracts not exceeding $30,000 (adjusted for inflation annually) are considered small projects that are exempt from the usual competitive bidding requirements. As of July 1, 2002, the small project threshold is $32,900. By statute, an emergency project that is exempt from the usual competitive bidding requirements may be entered into when:A. A threat to public health exists;B. A threat to public safety exists;C. There is a risk of further loss of or damage to State property;D. Immediate remediation is needed to prevent or minimize serious disruption in State services; orE. The integrity of State records is threatened.F. Quick purchase as provided by Section 20-30 (d) of the Illinois Procurement Code.

Management strategies for flood protection in the Lower Illinois River, Phase II: real-time simulation of flooding with UNET model.

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

This report documents the structure and the use of a windows-based interface developed by the Illinois State Water Survey for the Office of Water Resources, Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The current version of the interface program is able to download historic, real-time, and forecasted stage and flow data from the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Weather Service websites interactively. These data are used to update existing Data Storage System (DSS) database or to create new ones; to run the UNET model for historic, design, real-time, and forecasted flood events in the Lower Illinois River; and to post-process model outputs from DSS files in tabular and graphical formats.. This interface program uses the original UNET generic geometry and boundary condition files to maintain the same level of accuracy as the UNET model, but it also allows the user to change some of the parameters, such as, the simulation time interval, time windows, and numerical Corant number, and etc., in the BC file. The real-time simulation of a flood event simulates the flood stage profiles using forecasted stage and real-time flow data downloaded from related websites. With the primary focus on simulations of levee failures, the interface program lets the users modify parameters to simulate simple levee failures through the simple spillway approach for two types of complicated embankment failures, overtopping and piping. A new simulation can be performed using the modified levee information. The change of water surface elevation induced by modifying the levees can be compared with another simulation graphically and also in table format. Stage profiles from all the simulations can be plotted together with the levee heights on both sides of the channel along the Lower Illinois River to provide a visual view of the locations of overtopping. Overtopping locations and magnitudes will be tabulated should they occur.

Juvenile Justice System and Risk Factor Data for Illinois: 2004 Annual Report

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority received a grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services for the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission to create the Juvenile Justice System and Risk Factor Data for Illinois: 2004 Annual Report. In an effort to present a broad range of relevant data to juvenile justice professionals, this reports aim is to be as comprehensive as possible in reporting juvenile justice data. Additionally, this report presents a brief explanation of risk factors and their importance to the juvenile justice system. Together, these data can assist juvenile justice system policymakers and practitioners in developing informed planning and policy initiatives.

Long-term variations in seasonal weather conditions and their impacts on crop production and water resources in Illinois

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

An analysis of long-term records of corn yields, water resource conditions, and seasonal weather conditions in Illinois found major temporal shifts and important spatial variations in the types of seasonal weather conditions that have positive and negative impacts on yields and water conditions. Nineteen different types of corn-weather seasons (May-August) occurred during 1901-1997, of which nine types accounted for most of the high corn yields (highest 20 of the 97 values) and eight types produced most low yields (lowest 20 values). An assessment of the years with either high or low yields revealed three findings about the distributions of the corn-weather seasons creating these extremes: 1) some types were uniformly distributed throughout the century; 2) others were unevenly distributed over time, some occurring only in the century's early decades and others only in the last few decades; and 3) certain types varied greatly regionally. Yield responses to certain seasonal types varied over time. The findings helped establish that changes in farming practices, corn varieties, and agricultural technology all affect how a given type of growing season affects corn yields. Sizable regional differences in yield outcomes from a given set of weather conditions, a result of varying soil and climate differences across Illinois, further revealed how impacts of similar seasonal weather conditions can vary spatially. These two conclusions revealed the importance of using weather effects in defining seasonal extremes. In general, the statewide results showed that the types of seasons creating high yields predominated during 1901-1910 and 1961-1997, and most seasons creating low yields were concentrated in 1911-1920, 1931-1940, and 1951-1960. Major seasonal weather effects on Illinois' water resources (surface water supplies, ground-water supplies, and water quality) were found to occur in the spring and summer seasons. Two conditions caused these effects in each season: either above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation, or above normal temperatures and precipitation. Spring impacts on water resources were typically mixed, some negative and some positive, whereas impacts from summer season extremes had largely negative impacts on water supplies and water quality. More impacts, positive and negative, occurred in southern Illinois than elsewhere, and most of the seasons having negative impacts on water resources occurred in Illinois during 1911-1960. Comparison of the 1901-1997 temporal distributions of yield extremes (high and low) and the negative summer water resource impacts with the temporal distributions of cyclone passages and the incidence of El Nio Southern Oscillation conditions that affect spring and summer weather conditions revealed a generally good relationship. Periods with many seasons creating numerous negative impacts on corn yields and water resources occurred in several decades (1911-1920, 1931-1940, and 1951-1960) when the number of cyclones was low and most incidences of La Nia conditions that create warm temperatures and negative impacts prevailed. Conversely, when seasonal weather conditions were generally beneficial (1901-1910, 1961-1970, and 1981-1997), Illinois had relatively large numbers of cyclone passages and most El Nio-related cool and wet summers occurred. Consideration needs to be given to the shifting temporal responses to various kinds of seasonal weather conditions during the 20th century to determine how future climatic conditions may affect Illinois' agriculture and water resources. Furthermore, some influential seasonal weather types appeared sporadically, some only during the early decades of the century and others only in the latter decades. Thus, data from the past 97 years reveal that efforts to project impacts of future climate conditions on agriculture and water resources may be difficult and subject to considerable error.
