| | 1: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The IEPA has been collecting sediment quality data from lakes since 1977. A total of 1,876 sediment samples have been collected from 1977 through 1994 on 307 lakes comprising 781 stations. A large effort was made in 1979 to sample lakes throughout the state and compile the results. The results of 273 sediment samples collected from 63 Illinois lakes were compiled and reported. A proposed classification of Illinois lake sediments was based on the statistical properties of the 1979 data. Although additional data have been collected, the ranges had not been changed to reflect additional data. Therefore, the purpose of this report is to use more current data to update the sediment classification system. | | | | Date Created: | 01 23 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041741 Original UID: 21547 FIRST WORD: Sediment | |
