  • Dutchman Creek Report
    AERIAL ASSESSMENT OF DUTCHMAN CREEK JOHNSON COUNTY, IL December, 2004 Prepared by Wayne Kinney for Illinois Department of Agriculture Illinois EPA has listed segment ADD02 of Dutchman Creek Watershed as impaired based on the 1998 303(d) list. This segment is approximately 14.8 miles long and contains Dutchman Lake; a 118 acre flood control structure located approximately 5 miles below the watershed divide. Dutchman Lake is a PL-566 flood control structure built by the USDA Soil Conservation Service in 1970 and is now owned by the US Forest Service as part of the Shawnee National Forest. The Executive Summary for Dutchman Creek Watershed TMDL (Final Draft) lists Dissolved Oxygen (DO) as the TMDL criteria of concern with the major sources being phosphorus loading from agricultural land and internal cycling in Dutchman Lake, plus stagnant stream conditions and elevated instream temperatures in Dutchman Creek. “A correlation between DO and total phosphorus was established for Dutchman Lake, and modeling demonstrates a reduction of 53 percent total phosphorus necessary so that DO water quality standards can be achieved. Primary sources of phosphorus loading to Dutchman Lake include internal cycling from the lake-bottom sediments and runoff from agricultural lands. Procedures outlined in the implementation plan to decrease phosphorus loading to the lake include in-lake measures as well as measures applied to the watershed to control nutrients in surface and eroded sediment. In-lake mitigation practices include dredging the lake bottom and aerating the lake to eliminate internal cycling. Watershed controls include filter strips and wetlands to prevent phosphorus in surface runoff from reaching the lake, conservation tillage to decrease nutrient-rich soil erosion from agricultural fields, and development of nutrient management plans to ensure that excess phosphorus is not applied to agricultural fields.

  • The White Barn a Transverse-Frame/Crib Barn Located at Trail-Of-Tears State Forest, Union County, Illinois
    NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES ASSESSMENT OF THE WHITE BARN A TRANSVERSE-FRAME/CRIB BARN LOCATED AT TRAIL-OF-TEARS STATE FOREST, UNION COUNTY, ILLINOIS by: Christopher Stratton Fever River Research Springfield, Illinois Floyd Mansberger Principal Investigator prepared for: Illinois Department of Natural Resources Springfield, Illinois July 2000 INTRODUCTION This report details the results of a National Register of Historic Places assessment conducted by Fever River Research on a gambrel-roofed, transverse-frame barn located at Trail of Tears State Forest in western Union County, Illinois (see Figure 1). Referred to as the “White Barn”, this structure is the only extant building that remains in situ1 at the site of a farmstead that operated during the period ca. 1870-1929. The barn itself was constructed during the early twentieth century and thus dates to the later stage of the farm’s operation. The investigation of the White Barn was requested by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and involved the following tasks: 1) documentary research on the barn and associated land; 2) a physical examination of the structure in order to assess its age, evolution, and integrity; and 3) a windshield survey of comparative barns in the surrounding area –all of which was necessary to assess the barn’s potential National Register of Historic Places eligibility. The area of Union County in which the barn is located is an extension of the rugged Ozark Hills, a region that is characterized by steep, heavily dissected ridges, narrow hollows, and thick forests. The ridges rise 300 to 400 feet above the wide Mississippi River floodplain, which borders them to the west.
