While the anomalies are sometimes reported as a possible industrial or agricultural release, weather and water conditions in northwestern Illinois have been just right to promote growth of a particular type of algae. The Illinois EPA has conducted investigations and has determined that these are rare, but natural occurrences. |   |  |   | Date Created:   | 06 26 2012 |   |  |   | Agency ID:   | 703**12 |   |  |   | ISL ID:   | 000000044300   Original UID: 23827 FIRST WORD: Illinois |   |
