| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2000 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This report summarizes the research and surveying that were conducted in 1995 to determine the amount and severity of bank erosion that existed on the entire length of the Illinois River. The study reach extended from Grafton, River Mile (RM) 0 to Joliet, RM 286. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists traveled the entire length of the river, mapped bank conditions and erosion sites, and selected 29 reaches for detailed data collection and two sites as observation sites. Bank erosion types were developed by studying and analyzing the erosion features. The team also used fluvial and bank failure processes to guide detailed data collection at the 29 sites. Color-coded bank feature maps were developed for the entire 286 miles of the river. | | | | Date Created: | 8 16 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | CR-2000-11v.2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000832 Original UID: 999999994312 FIRST WORD: Bank | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This report is the second of a series of three reports being prepared for the work done on the Kankakee River based on a Conservation 2000 Grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The present report focuses on the bank erosion mapping of the main stem of the Kankakee River from Route 30 Bridge in Indiana to the mouth of the Kankakee River with the Illinois River near Wilmington. A total of 111.8 river miles were mapped during a boat trip November 19-December 1, 1998. The relative magnitude of erosion was based on a visual assessment of the river banks during a boat trip along the main stem of the river. No actual measurements were taken. However, the extent of erosion was noted on 7.5-minute quadrangle maps based on visual observations. A series of 27 maps has been developed in which bank erosion identified on both sides of the river ranged form minor to high erosion. This analysis has shown the 10.4 river bank miles had severe erosion, 39.4 bank miles had moderate erosion, 70.8 bank miles had minor erosion, 46.3 bank miles were stable, 46.7 river bank miles were artificially protected, and data on 10.0 bank miles could not be collected because snags, islands, etc. made the banks inaccessible. This is a first attempt to map existing bank erosion conditions of the main stem of the Kankakee River. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | CR-2001-01 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000837 Original UID: 999999994320 FIRST WORD: Bank | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Benchmark Sediment Monitoring Program for Illinois Streams was initiated by the Illinois State Water Survey in 1981 to generate a long-term database of suspended sediment transport. The program is now part of the Water Survey's Water and Atmospheric Resources Monitoring (WARM) Network, which monitors the climate, soil moisture, surface water, ground water, and sediment throughout Illinois. This report summarizes the suspended sediment data collected for the program during Water Years 1994 and 1995. All the techniques used in the data collection process and laboratory analyses are based on U.S. Geological Survey procedures and techniques. The report appendices present tables of instantaneous suspended sediment measurements, particle size analysis, sediment transport curves, and plots of instantaneous sediment concentrations for the period of record for the current monitoring stations. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | DCS-2001-01 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000896 Original UID: 999999994325 FIRST WORD: Benchmark | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2001 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Cache River located in the southernmost part of Illinois flows through an area containing the Cache River Wetlands. These unique and important wetlands were designated as a Ramsar Site in 1996. Drainage activities divided the Cache River in half in the early 1900s, effectively separating the river into the Upper and Lower Cache Rivers. The Lower Cache River contains a remnant of a vast wetland system called the Lower Cache River State Natural Area (LCRSNA), commonly referred to as Buttonland Swamp. Sediment inflow from several tributary streams has an impact on the wetland. Previous research has determined that 217,000 tons of sediment were deposited in Buttonland Swamp between 1986 and 1988. The wetlands of the Lower Cache River have been targeted for preservation and restoration by state, federal, and private environmental organizations. A program to monitor the sediment deposition rate within the wetland area at regular intervals would be useful in evaluating and guiding preservation and restoration efforts. This project established a benchmark measure of the deposition rates and cross-sectional profiles at selected locations in the LCRSNA wetland. | | | | Date Created: | 9 24 2004 | | | | Agency ID: | CR-2001-17 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000858 Original UID: 999999994334 FIRST WORD: Benchmark | |
