Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams. A common index would aid in the coordination of various stream-related activities by facilitating data collection and interpretation.

    Multi-Jurisdictional Risk Assessment As described in the previous section on Profiling Hazards, each of the participating jurisdictions evaluated the hazards identified for the planning area. Each jurisdiction was asked to score the hazards profiled based on the methodology in Attachment III-1 for the following categories: --Historical Occurrence --Probability --Vulnerability --Maximum Geographic Extent --Severity of Impacts --Speed of Onset Each jurisdiction was asked to score the hazards based on their own local perspective and to note any additional information for the profile specific to its jurisdiction. The individual community scores were combined and averaged to provide the basis for determining the ranking and priority of the identified hazards for the whole planning area. The following individual jurisdiction risk assessments provide comparable data regarding population and land area. A geographic summary notes specific features that distinguish the jurisdiction from the planning area as a whole. The hazard priority provides a list of the top ranking hazards based on the hazard profile scoring and adjusted as needed based on local experience. This section also explains any differences in hazard ranking compared to the planning area. Finally, the Critical Facilities section summarizes structures identified as important to the jurisdiction that may be vulnerable to hazard impacts. The specific lists of Critical facilities were mapped in relation to the 100-year floodplain as presented in Map_(insert map reference as appropriate_____ Andalusia --2000 Census population 1,050 -- 0.7% total County population --Ranks 11 of 16 jurisdictions in size --Land area 1.17 sq. miles --0.2% total planning area --Rank 12 out of 16 jurisdictions Geography: Andalusia is located in the lower southwest portion of Rock Island County on the Mississippi River below the confluence of the Rock River.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.

  • Draft River Stages in Illinois: Flood and Damage Data
    State of Illinois Pat Quinn Department of Natural Resources Marc Miller, Director Draft River Stages In Illinois: Flood and Damage Data August 2009 Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Water Resources INTRODUCTION There are hundreds of river gages that measure the stages of rivers throughout Illinois. These gages range from simple yardsticks, which must be read visually, to sophisticated recording devices which monitor numerous parameters with the data collected being transmitted by telephone or satellite communication link. These gages were set up at various times during the last 100 years. When each was established, an arbitrary starting point or "stage datum" was set up. The height of the river above this starting point was recorded as the river stage. In many cases, a "flood stage" was also established. Typically, this would be the level where the river goes out of its banks. There are two commonly misunderstood points about river stages. First, there is generally no relation between a river stage for one gage and that for another one on the same river. Second, there is often no correlation between flood stage and actual structural flood damages. Often, especially in a rural area, a river will go out of banks but floods only vacant ground. This manual is an accumulation of flood information for a small portion of the gages in Illinois. The manual lists the stages of past floods, the dates of occurrence, and damages known to occur. The gages are arranged in this manual alphabetically by river and from upstream to downstream along a river. Each gage has two or more pages of information.

Geological Science Field Trips The Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) conducts four tours each year to acquaint the public with the rocks, mineral resources, and landscapes of various regions of the state and the geological processes that have led to their origin. Each trip is an all- day excursion through one or more Illinois counties. Frequent stops are made to explore interesting phenomena, explain the processes that shape our environment, discuss principles of earth science, and collect rocks and fossils.
