Completed Projects
Wood River / Piasa Creek – 604(B) Watershed Planning Grant via Heartlands Conservancy
Upper Silver Creek Watershed – 319(h) Implementation Grant
Heartlands Conservancy
- Conduct water quality monitoring to determine whether BMPs result in a reduction in sediment and nutrient loads in Silver Creek.
Lower Silver Creek Watershed – 604(B) Watershed Planning Grant via Heartlands Conservancy
- Use existing information to do an assessment of water quality in the Lower Silver Creek Watershed. Calculate sediment and nutrient loads and identify BMPs that will result in improved water quality. Develop a monitoring plan.
Kaskaskia Feasibility Study
- Conservation planning using ACPF tool
- APEX modelling to evaluate BMP effectiveness
- SWAT modelling for entire watershed
Field Station monitoring
- Seasonal discrete sampling of nutrient concentrations in greywater treatment fields and wetland
Monitoring Activities (sites):
