Box 19276 Springfield, IL 62794-9276 Dear Ms. Willhite: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has reviewed the final Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the impaired segments in the East Fork Kaskaskia River watershed (SOB, ROZY, SOG, and SOF) including supporting documentation and follow up information. IEPA's submitted TMDLs address the presence of elevated levels of manganese that impairs the Public Water Supply Use in Farina Lake, Kinmundy Lake, Kinmundy Borrow Pit, and Kinmundy Lake New (segments SOB, ROZY, SOG, and SOF) in the East Fork Kaskaskia River watershed. Based on this review, U.S. EPA has determined that lllinois's TMDLs for manganese meet the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and U.S. EPA's implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 130. Therefore, U.S. EPA hereby approves lllinois's 4 TMDLs for the impaired segments in the East Fork Kaskaskia River watershed (SOB, ROZY, SOG, and SOF). The statutory and regulatory requirements, and U.S. EPA's review of lllinois's compliance with each requirement, are described in the enclosed decision document. We wish to acknowledge lllinois's effort in this submitted TMDL, and look forward to future TMDL submissions by the State oflllinois.

EPA) has reviewed the final Total Maximum Daily Load (TMl3L) for the East Fork Kaskaskia fiver watershed including supporting documentation and follow up information. EPA's submitted TMDL report addresses the presence of elevated levels of fecal colifm impairing the primary contact use in the East Fork Kaskaskia River (Segment IZ-OK-0 1). Based on this review, U.S. EPA has determined that Illinois's TMDL for fecal coliform meets the requirements ~3fSection 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and U.S. EPA's implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 130. Therefore, U.S. EPA hereby approves Illi~lois'sone TMDt for the East Fork Kaskaskia River watershed (Segment IL-OK-0 I). The statutory and regulatory requirements, and U.S. EPA's review of Illinois's compliance with each requirement, are described in the enclosed decision document. h addition, as discussed in the first element of the enclosed decision document, LEPA determined that the dissolved oxygen (DO) impairments in the &st ~&kKaskaslua hver watershed are a result of flow- related conditions rather than a specific pollutant cause. Therefore, since TMDLs are required only for pollutants, and flow is not a pollutant, no TMDL for DO is required fox the East Fork Kaskaskia hver watershed (Segments TL-OK-0 1 and TL-OK-02) under the Clean Water Act or EPA regulations. We wish to acknowledge Illinois's effort in this submitted TMDL, and look foward to future TMDL submissions by the State of Illinois. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Kevin Pierard, Chief of the Watersheds and Wetlands Branch at 3 12-886-4448.

Carr Photos courtesy of the Trigg Collection curated by Charles Hammond n the 1930s, southern Illinois was depending on the National Forest Reservation Commission to approve purchase units in the region for a national forest. The Harrisburg Kiwanis Club foresaw the need of a local group to spearhead the estab- Ilishment of the forest. The Illinois Ozarks Reforestation Unit, a nine-member committee of men from Saline, Hardin, Pope and Gallatin counties, was formed. Newspaper Publisher L.O.

  • Dutchman Creek Tmdl Report
    Illinois Bureau of Water Environmental P.O. Box 19276 Protection Agency Springfield, IL 62794-9276 October 2004 IEPA/BOW/04-009 DUTCHMAN CREEK TMDL REPORT A D D 02 RAM Buncombe 2 0 D D A Vienna Printed on Recycled Paper THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK v FINAL REPORT THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Parameter changes for developing TMDLs In May 2001, Illinois EPA entered into a contract with Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Dutchman Creek (ADD01), Dutchman Creek (ADD02) and Dutchman Lake. In the 1998 Section 303(d) List, Dutchman Creek (ADD01) was listed as impaired for the parameters of phosphorus and nitrogen; Dutchman Creek (ADD02) was listed for low dissolved oxygen (DO), flow alterations, and other habitat alterations; Dutchman Lake was listed for nitrogen, siltation, DO, total suspended solids (TSS), noxious aquatic plants, excessive algal growth, and chlorophyll-a. Illinois EPA has since determined that at this time TMDLs will only be developed for those parameters with numeric water quality standards. These numeric water quality standards will serve as the target endpoints for TMDL development and provide a greater degree of clarity and certainty about the TMDL and implementation plans. As a result, a TMDL will not be developed for Dutchman Creek (ADD01) at this time. TMDLs for Dutchman Creek (ADD02) and Dutchman Lake will only focus on low DO, for which a numeric water quality standard exists. Causes of impairment not based on numeric water quality standards will be assigned a lower priority for TMDL development. Pending the development of numeric water quality standards for these parameters, as may be proposed by the Agency and adopted by the Illinois Pollution Control Board, Illinois EPA will continue to work toward improving water quality throughout the state by promoting and administering existing programs and working toward creating new methods for treating these potential causes of impairment.

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.
