Water Publications
Newsletters
Digester/Over the Spillway incorporates two older,
separate publications geared to wastewater and drinking water operations,
respectively. It includes information on regulations affecting both fields,
calendars of upcoming water/wastewater events, and operator news.
Volunteer Lake Monitoring
Program Newsletter is designed to keep our volunteers and the general
public up to date with the latest VLMP news, upcoming volunteerism events
and conferences and various lake issues. It also serves as a medium to
show the role that the Illinois VLMP plays in the larger picture of international
volunteer monitoring.
Reports
Biannual 319 Report
Grants issued by USEPA under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act include
a condition requiring the submittal of a status report every six months.
This report is prepared to satisfy that condition and publicize the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency's accomplishments in controlling nonpoint
source pollution.
State
of Illinois Public Water Supply Annual Compliance Report
The purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirement of Section 1414(c)(3)
of the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). States with
national primary enforcement authority are to prepare, make readily available
to the public, and submit to the Administrator of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) by July 1 of each year, an annual report on
violations occurring during the previous calendar year of national primary
drinking water regulations by public water systems (PWSs) in Illinois.
Illinois Water Quality Report
The Illinois EPA annually collects chemical, physical, biological, habitat
and toxicity data on rivers and streams, inland lakes, Lake Michigan and
groundwater to satisfy reporting requirements found in Section 305(b)
of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA). The primary purpose of the Section
305(b) process is to provide for an assessment of the overall water quality
conditions of Illinois waters.
Illinois Groundwater
Protection Program Biennial Comprehensive Status and Self Assessment Report
responds to the need to manage groundwater quality by emphasizing a prevention
oriented process. The IGPA is a comprehensive law which relies upon a
state and local partnership. Although the IGPA is directed toward protection
of groundwater as a natural and public resource, special provisions target
drinking water wells.
Sediment
Classification for Illinois Inland Lakes
This 1996 update report replaces the report by Kelly and Hite (1981).
The sediment classification for Illinois lakes was updated to include
additional data, increased number of parameters identified, and changes
made to laboratory methodology since 1979. This report includes a statistical
analysis of 854 sediment samples collected from 418 stations on 265 lakes
during the years 1988 through 1994.
