| 2207: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 March | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | A comparison of benthic macroinvertebrate collection methods was conducted for Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) involving the hand-pick method used until 2001 and the newly instituted 20-jab multi-habitat method. IEPA collected samples in the summer of 2001 using both methods at each site and data analysis showed little dissimilarity between the methods. Using the 20-jab method in lieu of the handpick method slightly increased (2.8%) the discrimination ability of the Stream Condition Index (SCI) proposed in 2000 (Tetra Tech 2000). The SCI developed as a preliminary index, based on Illinois historical data, included only richness metrics. This report was revised in March 2007, based on the November 2004 report of the same name. | | | | Date Created: | 03 30 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042214 Original UID: 21731 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |

| 2210: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2006 April | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Exelon Corporation operates the Byron Nuclear Generating Station in Ogle County. On February 13, 2006, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) Division of Nuclear Safety notified the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA or Agency) that Exelon had inspected six vacuum breaker relief valves along the three-mile long blowdown line which runs west from the station to the Rock River. The blowdown line carries process water and wastewater from the plant and occasionally tritium. Five of the vaults had standing water in them. The vacuum breaker vaults, which are part of the discharge system, have weep holes on the bottom that threatened the release to groundwater of the standing water in the vaults. No discharges down the line occurred from late January to April 20, when releases down the discharge line resumed. The station is installing leak detection devices at each vault along the line to give immediate notification should a leak occur. In the interim, visual inspections will occur at each vacuum breaker location during each planned release to ensure no further leakage occurs.
