Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Clean Lakes Program: Phase 1 Diagnostic Feasibility Study, Staunton Lake, City of Staunton, Macoupin County, Illinois

 
 Volume/Number:    
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Historic data collected by the IEPA indicated elevated levels of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus compounds). Eutrophication of the reservoir impacts fish and other wildlife, degrades the quality of raw water available to CWS and raises its operating costs. Additionally shoreline erosion and sedimentation decrease the lake volume and further exacerbate the aforementioned problems. Because the reservoir provides public drinking water, significant benefit exists in improving the quality of the water and habitat it provides.
