BOX 2004 ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS 61204-2004 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF http://www.mvr.usace.army.mil CEMVR-PM-M PEORIA RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT, ILLINOIS (ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION) FEASIBILITY STUDY WITH INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT MAIN REPORT MARCH 2003 Executive Summary he Peoria Riverfront Development (Ecosystem Restoration) Project area includes Lower Peoria Lake. The area lies within Peoria and Tazewell Counties, Illinois, and includes TIllinois River Miles 162-167. The project is related to the Peoria Riverfront Development Project, a public and private cooperative effort that also includes revitalization of the City’s downtown area. Development includes a visitor’s center, city park, residential redevelopment, community center, riverboat landing, sports complex, entertainment centers, and retail development. The region has begun to reclaim its abandoned industrial riverfront, with the understanding that a healthy, attractive, and sustainable environment must be present. The Illinois River is a symbol of the region’s economic, social, and cultural history, as well as its future. Therefore, ecosystem restoration in Peoria Lake is a vital component to an overall effort and vision to develop the Peoria Riverfront in an ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable manner. This Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (Non-Federal Sponsor) to investigate the Federal and State interest in ecosystem restoration within Peoria Lake. In support of this resource vision, several regulatory efforts on the part of the cities and counties to address the sedimentation issue affecting the Illinois River have been adopted.

  • The Physical Geography of the Illinois River Valley Near Peoria
    The Physical Geography of the Illinois River Valley Near Peoria An Updated Self-Conducted Field Trip using EcoCaches and GPS Technology Donald E. Bevenour East Peoria Community High School Illinois State University Copyright, 1991 Updated by: Kevin M. Emmons Morton High School Bradley University 2007 Additional Support: Martin Hobbs East Peoria Community High School Abstract THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY NEAR PEORIA: AN UPDATED SELF CONDUCTED FIELD TRIP USING ECOCACHES AND GPS TECHNOLOGY This field trip has been written so that anyone can enjoy the trip without the guidance of a professional. The trip could be taken by student groups, families, or an individual; at least two people, a driver and a reader/navigator, are the recommended minimum number of persons for maximum effectiveness and safety. Subjects of discussion include the Illinois River, the Bloomington, Shelbyville, and LeRoy Moraines, various aspects of the glacial history of the area, stream processes, floodplains, natural vegetation, and human adaptations to the physical environment such as agriculture, industry, transportation, and growth of cities. Activities include riding to the top of a lookout tower, judging distance to several landmark objects, and scenic views of the physical and cultural environment. All along the trip, GPS coordinates are supplied to aid you in your navigation. Information on EcoCaches is available at http://www.ilega.org/ Why take a self-guided field trip? A self-guided field trip is an excellent way to learn more about the area in which one lives. Newcomers or visitors to an area should find it a most enlightening manner in which to personalize the new territory.

  • Partridge Creek Watershed Restoration Plan
    Partridge Creek Watershed Restoration Plan January, 2004 Tri-County Regional Planning Commission Prepared by: Melissa Eaton, Planner II With funding from Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ Conservation 2000 Program Executive Summary Partridge Creek and its tributaries deliver approximately 30,000 tons of sediment to Upper Peoria Lake on an annual basis (Windhorn, 2003). This sediment fills the navigable channels of the Illinois River, depletes deep-water habitat, and creates polluted, murky water that suffocates fish and prevents sunlight from reaching aquatic plants, a necessary start to the food chain of the Illinois River. According to a recent study of the United States Department of Agriculture/Natural Resource Conservation Service, much of this sediment originates in the gullies formed from uncontrolled stormwater runoff from forested, urban, and agricultural land uses. This stormwater and resulting erosion can only be controlled through proper forest management, strategic/low impact development of urban areas, and the adoption of a tri- county unified stormwater ordinance that further restricts post development stormwater runoff. While individual streambanks can be stabilized and pockets of wetlands restored, it will take a great deal of community action and commitment to create the necessary ordinances and proper urban planning to truly reverse the declining trend of local water quality. While soil erosion and sedimentation are the main focus of this report, other water quality and natural resource concerns are addressed. Individual homeowners can have a large collective impact on water quality by reducing fertilizer application on lawns, directing downspouts to pervious surfaces, disposing household chemical pollutants properly, etc. There is also potential for landowners of large and small tracts of land to aid in the preservation of biodiversity of the Partridge Creek Watersheds by utilizing such informational resources as Creating Habitats and Homes for Illinois Wildlife by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

  • Peoria Lakes Comprehensive Conservation Plan
    P EORIA L AKE S C OMPREHENSIVE CO NSERVATION PLAN OCTOBER 2018 Planning Team: Peoria Lakes Comprehensive Conservation Plan Planning Team Heartland Water Resources Council The Nature Conservancy Tri-County Regional Planning Commission United States Army Corps of Engineers Authors Reema Abi-Akar Michael Bruner Chuck Theiling, Ph.D. This project was made possible by a 50-50 cost share through the United States Army Corps of Engineers Planning Assistance to States program. Tri-County Regional Planning Commission 456 Fulton Street ▪ Suite 401 ▪ Peoria, Illinois 61602 Telephone: (309)679-9330 ▪ Fax: (309)673-9802 E-mail: [email protected] Website: tricountyrpc.org i | P a g e P a g e | ii Abstract The Peoria Lakes, which refer to the widened portion of the Illinois River in the Peoria area, are natural riverine lakes that were formed by tributary deltas that narrow the valley and pinch the river to form two broad basins. The Lakes are Greater Peoria’s most precious natural resource and are a significant landmark that have defined the region for thousands of years. However, over time, water quality has declined, habitat has been lost and degraded, and sedimentation has steadily filled in the Lakes due to urbanization, industrialization, and the conversion of prairie lands to agriculture. Today, the majority of the Peoria Lakes is less than three feet deep. The purpose of this planning process was to reach a regional consensus on how to conserve the Lakes for current and future generations. Additionally, the planning team wanted to document the process to make a model that other organizations and entities can adapt to use for their own bodies of water.
