Stream Dissolved Oxygen Improvement Feasibility Study for Salt Creek: Final Report

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

In October 2004, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) issued a completed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study for Salt Creek. From this study, the Illinois EPA developed TMDL allocations for various pollutants. The report concluded that significant reductions in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia would be necessary in order for the Illinois Dissolved Oxygen (DO) standards to be achieved in Salt Creek during low-flow, warm conditions, and that the potential removal of one or more existing dams along lower Salt Creek could offer significant water quality improvements. Since the publication of the TMDL report, affected communities, municipal wastewater treatment plant operators, and interested environmental organizations have joined together to form the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup (DRSCW). The mission of the DRSCW is to study the East and West Branches DuPage River and Salt Creek watersheds in order to gain a better understanding of environmental impairments that are leading to poor water quality and impacting aquatic life. The initial focus of the DRSCW, for this project, was to develop a computer model that would accurately reflect low-flow, warm stream conditions, particularly DO, along Salt Creek, from which alternatives for improving DO concentrations could be developed. While working on this task it became apparent that better environmental monitoring data were needed. At this point the focus of the Workgroup expanded to include design and implementation of water quality monitoring studies that would generate sound scientific data.

Tampier Lake/Saganashkee Slough Watersheds Stage Three TMDL Draft Report

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

This report documents the analysis and findings of stage 3 of the TMDL development for water segments within this watershed. Water quality data are gathered by the IEPA, the US Geological Survey, and the USEPA. Illinois is required to identify water bodies that do not meet water quality standards and to determine the Total Maximum Daily Load for pollutants causing the impairment.

Streambank Cleanup and Lakeshore Enhancement (SCALE) Program: Pilot

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Illinois EPA announced the 2003 pilot SCALE program in December 2002. An application package was sent to approximately 100 civic and environmental groups. The mailing list included Section 319 applicants, regional planning commissions and local government offices throughout the state and citizen organizations that were known to have already held a clean up.

The Drought of 2012: A Report of the Governor's Drought Response Task Force

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The Drought of 2012 in Illinois as described in this report was an outgrowth of several years of drought in the southwest which began to expand north and easterly to encompass much of the Midwest. That drought continues to be problematic in states to the west and north of Illinois.Several meteorologic and hydrologic conditions contributed to the drought in Illinois. These conditions are described and the resultant impacts are identified. Quantifying the impacts in useful metrics has been elusive.This report serves to define the policy and technology issues which arose during the Drought of 2012 and to explain some limitations in governmental responses to those policy and technological issues.
