Phase I: Diagnostic study of Lake Vermilion, Vermilion County, Illinois.

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The Consumers Illinois Water Company applied for and received a grant to conduct a diagnostic-feasibility study on Lake Vermilion commencing in May 2000. Lake Vermilion is a 878-acre public lake that serves as the public water-supply source for the City of Danville and surrounding communities in Vermilion County, Illinois. The lake is located in the Second Principle Meridian, Township 20N, Range 11W, Section 31 one mile northwest of the City of Danville. Lake Vermilion has a maximum depth of 21.8 feet, a mean depth of 9.1 feet, a shoreline length of 14.3 miles, and an average retention time of 0.042 years. The Lake Vermilion watershed, including the lake surface area, is 190,720 acres or 298 square miles. The main inflow tributarary is the North Fork of the Vermilion River. The diagnostic study was designed to delineate the existing lake conditions, to examine the causes of degradation, if any, and to identify and quantity the sources of plant nutrients and any other pollutants flowing into the lake. On the basis of the findings of the diagnostic study, water quality goals will be established for the lake and a restoration feasibility study will be conducted by Cochran and Wilken, Inc. of Springfield. Under the feasibility study, alternative management techniques will be evaluated in relation to the established management goals.

Pilot study: agricultural chemicals in rural, private wells in Illinois

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

In the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act of 1987 (PA 85-863), the state legislature mandated that the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) conduct an "ongoing program of basic and applied research relating to groundwater," including an evaluation of pesticide impacts upon groundwater. "Such evaluation shall include the general location and extent of any contamination of groundwaters resulting from pesticide use. . . . Priority shall begven to those areas of the State where pesticides are utilized most intensively." In response to this mandate, the Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) and the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), divisions of DENR, developed a plan to assess the occurrence of agricultural chemicals in rural, private wells on a statewide basis (McKenna et al. 1989). In response to the concerns regarding the proposed statewide survey, a separate pilot study was designed, based on the recommended statewide survey, to produce tangible, documented results of well-water sampling and to demonstrate the validity of the survey design.The legislative mandate addressed the pesticide impacts on groundwater. The proposed statewide plan and the pilot study will focus on groundwater drawn from rural, private wells. This approach will maximize data acquisition on the potential for exposure of the rural residents of Illinois to agricultural chemicals (pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers) through drinking water; it will also minimize sample collection costs. Inferences drawn from this project are valid for groundwater drawn from rural, private wells and not from other sources.
