Title:  

Watershed Implementation Plan for Lake Vermilion and the North Fork Vermilion River, Vermilion County, Illinois

 
 Volume/Number:  2008 June 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Through a process of public discussions, problem areas were identified and prioritized, goals and objectives were established, implementation strategies and a cost analysis were put in place, all to guide future actions taken by this and/or other watershed management groups. The three problems of highest priority that were identified were: 1.) The water quality impairments which include excess nitrate and phosphorus concentrations in the river and lake; 2.) Wastewater contamination as indicated by fecal coliform in the river segment between Bismarck and Lake Vermilion; and 3.) Excess sediment loads in the river and Lake. The overall goal is to remove or decrease these inputs to achieve full intended use of the water resources.
