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 | |
