Countryside Lake Water Quality Monitoring Program: Final Report

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Countryside Lake Association (CLA) started a Lake Stewardship program in 2001 following the Lake Water Quality Study completed by the Lake County Health Department Lake Management Unit (LCHDLMU) in 2000. The LMU study identified Countryside Lake as hyper-eutrophic citing phosphorous as the limiting nutrient. The CLA stewardship program focused its attention on lake water inlet quality to determine whether any of these stormwater drains represented a significant phosphorous input to the lake. The program began with grab sample collections at the major lake inlets in 2002 and 2003 and progressed to ISCO automatic composite water samplers and ultimately to selected ISCO sequential samplers. The early findings documented the baseline water quality for each inlet.

Miniature of Clean Water Action Plan: Restoring and Protecting America's Waters: Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities for Illinois

Clean Water Action Plan: Restoring and Protecting America's Waters: Unified Watershed Assessment and Watershed Restoration Priorities for Illinois

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The unified watershed assessments provide the foundation for this cooperative approach to restoring and protecting water quality, and support the setting of watershed restoration priorities. The objective of the unified watershed assessments is to combine assessments and build on current, cooperative efforts to identify common priorities - not to create a new activity that competes with existing processes. As indicated in the Clean Water Action Plan, draft watershed assessments and draft watershed restoration priorities are to be scheduled for public comment by August 1, 1998, and final assessments and final watershed restoration priorities are scheduled to be completed by October 1, 1998.

Collaborating to fight drug crime: Profile of the North Central Narcotics Task Force

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Drug task forces were developed to more efficiently and effectively fight proliferation of illicit drugs. Local police have jurisdictional restraints making it difficult to combat drug markets extending through multiple cities, and counties (Smith, Novak, Frank, and Travis, 2000). Drug task forces work across jurisdictions and pool resources, knowledge, and personnel. MEGs and task forces are staffed by officers representing federal, state, county, and local police agencies. Drug task force officers work undercover, using confidential sources, to purchase drugs in order to gather the intelligence to make arrests (Reichert, 2012). There are two kinds of drug task forces that operate in Illinois metropolitan enforcement groups (MEG) and multi-jurisdictional drug task forces.

Crestwood Public Water Supply Groundwater Modeling - Bedrock Well Installation

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Sampling results from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agencys (Illinois EPAs) June 2009 field work near Playfield Cleaners indicate that an area of shallow groundwater at the Playfield Plaza is contaminated with drycleaner solvent and its breakdown products, all volatile organic compounds (VOCs), originating from contaminated soils at the Playfield Cleaners site. Shallow groundwater sampling results from the field work near Playfield Cleaners and the former Crestwood Public Water Supply (PWS) Well #1 did not allow the Illinois EPA to conclusively identify Playfield Cleaners as the source of the Crestwood PWS Well #1 VOC contamination. However, we suspect that dissolved contamination from this site migrated downward into the groundwater of the bedrock and eventually contaminated the Crestwood PWS Well #1.
