Fisheries Improvement ........................................................ 22 3 Executive Summary As part of a strategic planning process, the Champaign County Forest Preserve District staff met in May of 2006 to consider the most critical issues and needs of the District. Goals and objectives were later developed to address these issues. One goal for the Natural Resources Department, as stated in the Strategic Plan, is to “preserve, manage, and increase all of CCFPD’s natural resources.” The first objective under this goal is to “develop a resource management plan for each preserve.” This document is the first realization of that first objective, with the other preserves’ plans to be completed over the next two years. The River Bend Forest Preserve was evaluated for management strategies soon after its acquisition. The 2004 “Site Planning and Management Strategies for the River Bend Forest Preserve” document prepared for the CCFPD by the Citizens Advisory Committee (River Bend Recreation Area Subcommittee) contains a wealth of information from a summary of the acquisition process, to historical information and recommendations for management. The subcommittee, chaired by Steve Buck of the University of Illinois Committee on Natural Areas, completed such a thorough report, that it served as a guiding document to the present management plan. Experts from such agencies as the U.S. Geological Survey, Illinois Natural History Survey, and Soil and Water Conservation Service contributed to the 2004 document. The time and effort these experts put into the original plan will be respected in the current plan, as much of the original report is either expanded upon or repeated here verbatim, merely incorporating the information into a format that will be a standard for management plans for all preserves. There is no need to completely rewrite the static history of the preserve when attempting to focus on the dynamics of future management. There have been many changes at River Bend since the original plan was submitted in 2004, so an updated plan is warranted. While the current plan includes much of the information from the 2004 document, assessments of the state of River Bend and its attributes have been updated, and specific project plans are detailed. Project plans are congruent with recommendations from the 2004 site planning document, and these project plans are the vision of what the Natural Resources Department sets as goals for improving River Bend over the next five years. Opportunities, on the other hand, are a vision of what we may be able to accomplish over a longer term. Once again we have called upon a number of natural resource experts in the Champaign County area to help us visualize immediate and future management of River Bend. 4 Part One. Property Overview I. Introduction The 275-acre River Bend Forest Preserve is located in Mahomet, Illinois (T20N, R7E, Sections 16, 20, 21). The preserve features 2.5 miles of Sangamon River frontage that has been designated as an Illinois Land and Water Reserve since February 2002. It also features two lakes, the 145-acre Sunset Lake, the largest lake in Champaign County, and 28-acre Shadow Lake (see Appendices A & B). River Bend officially became the fourth Champaign County forest preserve in December 2001. The parcel, with an appraised value of $3.6 million, was purchased with a combination of funds, including a $1.8 million Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Open Lands Trust (OLT) grant and $1.8 million matching land value donation from Mid America Sand and Gravel Company (MASG), the owner of the land until the time of purchase. Much of the development at River Bend took place between 2003 and 2005 and included an access road, restrooms, a 1.2-mile multi-use trail, picnic shelter, boat ramp, accessible dock and fishing pier, parking area, and interpretive pull offs and associated signage. Native perennial plants were chosen for the landscaping around the parking lot and shelter. Vegetated buffer strips and swales were included in development in order to minimize any threats to lake water quality. Development costs were in large part covered by an Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant totaling $222,350.00. River Bend provides many recreational and research opportunities. Anglers are able to fish from the bank of the Sangamon or secluded Shadow Lake. Sunset Lake offers fishing from shore, dock, and boat. Those hiking the trails at River Bend are able to see a variety of wildlife, including many bird species. II. Original and Existing Conditions Prior to settlement in the 1800s, the land that is now River Bend was primarily floodplain forest that transitioned to tallgrass prairie to the south (Appendices C & D). Cultural artifacts of Amerindian populations have been found and verify their existence on the site. Upon settlement, much of the area was cleared and used as row-crop agriculture. Mining on the site began in the 1950s and continued until 2008. The outwash terraces are a prime source of sand and gravel aggregates that have been utilized in the construction of local infrastructure such as buildings, roads, sidewalks and bridges. Excavation of sands and gravels 40-to-50 feet below the water table has created deep lakes that make up much area of River Bend (Kemmis and Mehnert 2004). When the CCFPD took ownership of the land at River Bend, evidence of heavy commercial use was scattered throughout the preserve. Initial effort focused on clean up and disposal of materials left on the site. Scouting groups, CCFPD staff, and other volunteers removed tons of trash from the site. Metals were recycled and industrial solvents were properly disposed of or recycled. Evidence of earthmoving activities was highly visible. Vegetation and topsoil were stripped from areas prior to mining and moved elsewhere. Piles of miscellaneous fill materials used as backfill in mined areas were prevalent throughout the preserve. Because of this, low soil quality continues to be a limiting factor in restoration of the site. 5 Several areas were still in row-crop agriculture when the CCFPD acquired the site in 2001. Small tree whips and tree seeds were planted in these areas in 2002 and 2003, but unfortunately due to flooding, poor soils, and the timing of some plantings, most of these plantings failed, with areas that were planted with whips having the largest failure rate. For example, the dogleg field takes on much of the flow of the

  • Natural Memorandum
    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM www.naturalrt.com No. 1 Date: September 17, 2009 Subject: Potable Well Survey, Hydrogeologic Assessment, and Modifications to the Groundwater Monitoring Program, Venice Ash Impoundment From: Bruce Hensel Background and Summary This technical memorandum was prepared in partial response to the April 10, 2009 letter from IEPA to AmerenEG requesting a hydrogeologic assessment and potable well survey at the Venice ash impoundments. Ameren provided an initial response on May 20, 2009; in that response they noted that a groundwater monitoring program is already in-place at this facility and that a hydrogeologic report had been submitted to IEPA in January 2000. Ameren concluded by stating that additional documentation to fulfill the request of the April 10, 2009 letter would be provided within four months (by September 20, 2009). The specific elements to be provided are: ■ A hydrogeologic assessment plan ■ A groundwater monitoring plan ■ A potable well survey In summary, the potable well survey revealed that one (1) potential industrial well is located within a 2,500-foot radius of the Venice ash impoundments (Figure 2; Table 1). Well #1, located south of the ash impoundments, was constructed in 1943 by the Missouri-Illinois Materials Company; it is unknown at this point in time if this well is still active. The hydrogeologic assessment and groundwater monitoring plans are not yet complete, because these elements were dependent on obtaining off-site access for installation of ground-water sampling points. Ameren has diligently worked with the property owners to obtain this access, which was granted for this final property just this week.

  • Region Two: Chicago Metropolitan Landfills Fourteen Years of Capacity
    Region Two: Chicago Metropolitan Landfills Fourteen years of capacity remain for Region Two based upon current waste disposal rates. This is the least number of years of remaining landfill life of all the regions, and the same number of years remaining is shared by Region One: Northwestern Illinois. The other regions ranged between 18 and 56 years, for a statewide average of 23 years. On Jan. 1, 2011, capacity at the six Chicago Metropolitan Region’s landfills was almost 92.2 million gate cubic yards, which had increased 13.1 percent from the previous year. The capacity as reported by landfill operators was up by almost 10.7 million gate cubic yards. Prairie View Recycling and Disposal Facility (RDF), Wilmington, has 55 percent of the capacity available locally. It is ranked seventh in the State, in terms of available capacity. One active landfill is located in Cook County River Bend Prairie Landfill, Dolton, is the single active landfill located in Cook County. Waste accepted declined by fifteen percent in 2010 The volume of solid waste buried in 2010 in Region Two declined by 15.4 percent from the previous year. The region’s six landfills received more than 6.5 million gate cubic yards of waste — which amounted to 14.2 percent of all waste disposed in landfills in Illinois that year. That amount was almost 12 million gate cubic yards less than the previous year. Top 10 ranking for Prairie View RDF: The most active landfill in the region Prairie View Recycling and Disposal Facility accepted more than 2.6 million gate cubic yards of waste for disposal in 2010.
