- Annual compliance report for public drinking water supplies, 2007 (2007, covering January through December, 2007)
The purpose of this annual compliance report is to satisfy the requirement of Section 1414(c)(3)of the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). States with national primary enforcement authority are to prepare, make readily available to the public, and submit to the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency by July 1 of each year, an annual report on violations occurring during the previous calendar year of national primary drinking water regulations by public water systems. - Illinois Integrated Water Quality Report and Section 303(d) List {periodical start}
Information on surface waters, groundwater, inland lakes, Lake Michigan, and impaired waters is included. Assessments are based on biological, water, sediment, physical-habitat, and fish-tissue information. - Illinois Water Quality Report (2004, covering 2004) [IEPA/BOW/04-006]
This report satisfies the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Section 305 b . The quality of the state's surface and groundwater resources is reported. Assessments are based on biological, water, sediment, physical-habitat, and fish-tissue information. - Report on pharmaceuticals and personal care products in Illinois drinking water
Illinois EPA Bureau of Water (Division of Public Water Supplies) staff collected samples of raw and finished drinking water that were analyzed for the presence of pharmaceuticals, in order to evaluate whether detectable amounts are present in sufficient concentration to cause adverse human health effects. This project has identified 16 pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the untreated or potable water of five public water supplies in Illinois. The results for the potable water samples were compared against conservative Screening Levels developed by Agency and the Illinois Department of Public Health toxicologists, and were found to not present a public health hazard at this time. These comparisons suggest that even the chemical with the highest Hazard Index has a margin of safety of at least 333, and likely much larger. However, there are also considerable uncertainties that suggest that further sampling is appropriate if funding can be made available. - State of Illinois Section 319 Biannual Report {periodical start}
Grants issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under section 319 of the Clean Water Act include a condition requiring the submittal of a status report every six months. - Wetland Monitoring and Assessment Program for the State of Illinois [IEPA/BOW/07-020]
Illinois EPA received a grant to develop a plan for a wetland monitoring and assessment program. A Wetland Technical Working Group comprised of individuals from Federal, State, and local agencies and entities was convened. This program builds upon the existing wetland efforts of the Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources' Critical Trends Assessment Program, conducted by the Illinois Natural History Survey. Illinois will work to update its portion of the National Wetland Inventory.
