The State of Illinois report, prepared by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, addresses the water quality assessment efforts for 1988 and 1989 (the seventh in a series of biennial reports). The report follows USEPA guidance for reporting water quality conditions in terms of degree of use support or attainment. In addition to stream and lake water quality conditions, discussions of the State's wetland resources and groundwater protection programs are provided. Also included are the lake classification and lake information required by Section 314 and nonpoint source assessments required by Section 319.
