| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 July 10 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The Charleston Side-Channel Reservoir (CSCR) was the subject of a USEPA Clean Lakes Program (314) diagnostic/feasibility report in 1992. This document developed hydrologic, nutrient and sediment budgets for the CSCR. The CSCR has two watersheds: one that flows directly into the reservoir (the immediate watershed) and one whose water is selectively pumped into the reservoir. The immediate watershed was the number one source of sediment loading, third highest for nitrate loading and fourth for phosphorus loading of the reservoir. The largest source of loading for phosphorus was internal phosphorus cycling. Second largest source was from shoreline erosion. In 1996 a large aeration system was installed in order to curtail internal phosphorus loading. In 1994 the first in a series of erosion control projects was started in an effort to reduce erosion related loading. | | | | Date Created: | 11 06 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | Financial Assistance Agreement Number 3190321 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041028 Original UID: 21091 FIRST WORD: Charleston | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2009 October | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | 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. | | | | Date Created: | 11 19 2009 | | | | Agency ID: | Financial Assistance Agreement Number 3190612 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041044 Original UID: 21105 FIRST WORD: Countryside | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2008 December | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The East Branch of the DuPage River (East Branch) is listed as an impaired waterway in the 303(d) list. Dissolved oxygen (DO) is listed as one of the causes of impairment. This study was undertaken to address alternative approaches for improving the DO levels on the East Branch during lower flow periods. | | | | Date Created: | 04 06 2009 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041045 Original UID: 21106 FIRST WORD: Stream | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2009 September | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | 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. | | | | Date Created: | 09 28 2009 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041046 Original UID: 21107 FIRST WORD: Stream | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 August 16 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This Chloride Usage Education and Reduction Program Study addresses the quantity of chloride applied in the watersheds of Salt Creek and the East and West Branches of DuPage River. These watersheds are located in northeastern Illinois, centered in DuPage County. Portions of the watersheds also extend into Cook, Will and Kane Counties. In response to the TMDLs adopted for their watersheds, a group of communities, environmental organizations, publicly owned treatment works and other concerned parties came together to form the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup (DRSCW). The DRSCW appointed a Chloride Subcommittee, under whose direction this study was initiated to evaluate current road salting practices and to recommend alternative practices for the reduction of chloride loading to the watersheds, to help comply with the chloride TMDLs. | | | | Date Created: | 08 15 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041047 Original UID: 21108 FIRST WORD: Chloride | |
