MORRIS, Ph.D., President, Southern Illinois University STATE WATER SURVEY DIVISION William C. Ackermann, Chief URBANA 1966 FOREWORD In many parts of Illinois, reservoir storage of water is an important means of increasing usable water supplies to enable community growth and development. Because of this significance for water resources of the future, the Illinois State Water Survey initiated a reconnaissance investigation to identify potential sites within the state where surface storage of water is physically feasible. This report provides information on potential and existing reservoirs in 29 counties of south-central Illinois. Results of an earlier study of possible sites in the 17 southern counties of Illinois were published in 1957 as Report of Investi gation 31. Future reports will include similar information for 33 north-central counties and 23 northern counties. This division of the state was based primarily on drainage systems. These publications are intended to bring about greater understanding of the surface water storage potential. -

FEVER RIVER RESEARCH Floyd R
FEVER RIVER RESEARCH Floyd R. Mansberger May 2, 2019 Jeremy Buening Senior Associate Chastain & Associates 5 North Country Club Road Decatur, Illinois 62521 re: National Register Assessment Staley Pump House and Club House Lake Decatur Decatur, Illinois Dear Mr. Buening: As per your request dated 19 March 2019, in an effort to assess its potential eligibility of the Staley Pump House and Club House for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, we have prepared this historical and architectural evaluation of the building. Constructed in 1919- 1920 by the A. E. Staley Manufacturing Company, the building originally functioned in the dual role of pumping station (supplying the Staley Manufacturing Company’s physical plant, and the residents of Decatur with an almost inexhaustible supply of water) and club house (a social center for members of the Staley Fellowship Club). Currently, the building is abandoned and in a deteriorated condition with the current owner formulating plans for the demolition of the building. As the building is located within Lake Decatur, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) requires a permit for the demolition of the building (as per Section 404 of the Clean Water Act), which in turn requires an assessment of the potential historical and architectural significance of the building (as per Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966). Location The Staley Pump House and Club House (hereafter referred to simply as the Staley Pump House) is located on Lake Decatur in the City of Decatur, Macon County, Illinois. The building is situated immediately northeast of the causeway by which the CSX Railroad crosses the lake. -
