ICLP-WQ: The grant recipient “volunteer” collects the following: Secchi transparency, Dissolved
Oxygen/Temp. profile, water quality collection (1’ all sites, bottom at sites No. 1 if >10ft.
deep). Chlorophyll, dissolved nutrients and water quality at tributary sites and spillway
site.
ICLP-Secchi: The grant recipient “volunteer” collects the following: Secchi transparency, Dissolved
Oxygen/Temp profile.
ALMP: IEPA collects water quality samples plus: alkalinity, pH, dissolved nutrients and flow at
tributary sites.
Storm Event: volunteer collects water quality sample at tributary sites during storm event (size of event
to be determined), may end up collecting 4 storm events one month and non the next.
Total of 18 events allocated for the project.
Gages: staff gage read daily.
sediment grab: ALMP staff collect a surficial sediment sample for each site.
monthly report: submitted by CWI to Illinois EPA by the 1st of each month, for the previous 30 days.
Note: Cedar Lake ambient lake sampling started November 2004. Carbondale Reservoir
ambient sampling started December 2004. Tributary sampling started December 2004.
