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.

HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates.

    COMMENCEMENT University of Wisconsin-Whitewater December 19, 2020 More than 150 years ago, on April 21, 1868, the state’s second normal school opened its doors to the first class of 48 students and nine faculty members. A progressive spirit guided the development of the institution as it evolved from a normal school, which trained teachers for one-room schools, to Whitewater State Teachers College (1927), Wisconsin State College-Whitewater (1951), Wisconsin State University-Whitewater (1964) and as a member of the 13 four-year institutions in the University of Wisconsin System (1971). Today, UW-Whitewater is a leading comprehensive university serving approximately 11,842 full- and part-time students with 50 undergraduate majors, 13 master’s degree programs, one doctoral degree and one education specialist degree in the colleges of Arts and Communication, Business and Economics, Education and Professional Studies, Integrated Studies, and Letters and Sciences. The university awards more than 2,700 degrees every year. Throughout its history, UW-Whitewater has produced graduates who have actively contributed to the growth of the state and nation. Student learning is the paramount focus of the university’s programs and services. The university takes pride in its regional leadership, national presence and global vision. Many of its academic programs are among the best in the country. 1 Student Speaker Brian Martinez For Brian Martinez, becoming a Warhawk meant finding a place to plant roots. When he visited campus as a transfer student from another Wisconsin university, UW-Whitewater felt like an inclusive family, where everyone belonged — a place that put people first.

  • La Grange Pool - Illinois River 2021 Fisheries Fact Sheet

    La Grange Pool - Illinois River 2021 Fisheries Fact Sheet

    LA GRANGE POOL - ILLINOIS RIVER 2021 FISHERIES FACT SHEET The Illinois River is formed at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers near Channahon in northeastern Illinois. It flows southwest for 273 miles across the state to enter the Mississippi River at Grafton. There are five dams along the Illinois forming pooled reaches named (upstream to downstream) the Dresden Pool, Marseilles Pool, Starved Rock Pool, Peoria Pool and La Grange Pool. The downstream reach is called the Alton Pool because it is influenced by Mel Price Lock and Dam on the Mississippi River at Alton. LOCATION: The La Grange Pool of the Illinois River extends from the La Grange Lock and Dam at mile 80.2 to the tailwater of the Peoria Lock and Dam at mile 157.7. Brown, Cass, Schuyler, Mason, Fulton, Tazewell and Peoria counties border this reach. RIVER ACCESS: The La Grange Pool is characterized by slow to moderate water velocities and soft substrates of sand and mud. The large number of backwater lakes and sloughs made this reach historically one of the most biologically productive river reaches in the world for waterfowl and fish. Backwaters managed for fishing by IDNR include state fish and wildlife areas at Anderson Lake, Spring Lake, Rice Lake, and Banner Marsh as well as the restored Thompson and Flag lakes at the Emiquon Preserve. Bath Chute, a river side channel, has excellent panfish and largemouth bass populations and is accessible by a public boat ramp in Bath. Boat access to the LaGrange Pool is also available at LaGrange Lock and Dam, Beardstown, Browning, Havana, Liverpool, Kingston Mines and Pekin.

  • Biological Opinion for the Operation and Maintenance of the 9-Foot Navigation Channel on the Upper Mississippi River System

    Biological Opinion for the Operation and Maintenance of the 9-Foot Navigation Channel on the Upper Mississippi River System

    BIOLOGICAL OPINION FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE 9-FOOT NAVIGATION CHANNEL ON THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER SYSTEM SUMMARY OF FINDINGS In this Biological Opinion, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has determined that the continued operation and maintenance of the 9-foot Navigation Project will jeopardize the continued existence of the Higgins’ eye pearly mussel (Lampsilis higginsi) and the pallid sturgeon (Sacphirhynchus albus). We have also provided reasonable and prudent alternatives that will allow the continued operation and maintenance of the 9-foot Navigation Project while offsetting adverse impacts to the species and avoiding jeopardy. If the reasonable and prudent alternatives are not implemented, then the likelihood of survival and recovery of these species will be appreciably reduced. The Corps of Engineers (Corps) is required to notify the Service of its final decision on the implementation of the reasonable and prudent alternatives described herein. In addition, we have found that the project will not jeopardize the least tern (Sterna antillarum) and winged mapleleaf mussel (Quadrula fragosa) but will result in incidental take. We have provided an Incidental Take Statement with reasonable and prudent measures that will minimize the impacts of this take on these species. We also have determined that the proposed action will likely adversely affect the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis). However, while the project may affect individuals, the impacts will be offset by management actions proposed by the Corps or will be negligible, and will not rise to the level of incidental take (i.e., harm and harassment).
