  • TMDL Scoping Report Development for Lake Michigan (Nearshore) Mercury and Polychlorinated Biphenyls
    State of Illinois Bruce Rauner, Governor Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Lisa Bonnett, Director TMDL Scoping Report Development for Lake Michigan (nearshore) Mercury and Polychlorinated Biphenyls Background Over the last 30 years, waters in Illinois have been monitored for chemical, biological, and physical conditions. In some cases, the condition of those rivers and lakes falls short of the need to support basic water quality use goals. These waters are deemed impaired since they cannot meet use expectations set for them under state and federal law. When this happens Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports are developed for impaired waters to determine the maximum amount of a pollutant a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards and support its designated uses. Designated uses include aquatic life, indigenous aquatic life, public and food processing water supply, primary contact (e.g., swimming, water skiing), secondary contact (e.g., boating, fishing), fish consumption, and aesthetic quality. TMDLs are done in stages to allow for public involvement and input. TMDL development in Illinois begins with data compilation—water quality, point source discharge, precipitation, soils, geology, topography, and land use— within the specific watershed. The data are analyzed to characterize and understand the impaired waterbodies and contributing sources. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) then assesses the tools necessary to develop the TMDL. In most cases, computer models are used to calculate pollutant loads and link those loads to the water body condition. In the case of the mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl TMDLs, models will be used to link pollutant loads to fish tissue concentrations.

This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current.
