Synopsis

Excerpt from Trace Elements in Bottom Sediments From Upper Peoria Lake, Middle Illinois River: A Pilot Project

In view of these findings, thezneed for analytical studies of the bot tom sediments in Illinois rivers and reservoirs is Obvious. Consequently, a pilot program for the systematic study of river bed and bank sediments was begun in the fall of 1970 with preliminary sampling in the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers, followed.by sediment sampling at water quality monitoring stations of the Illinois water Survey in Upper Peoria Lake (fig.

This report presents an evaluation of preliminary data gathered from the Upper Peoria Lake study and serves as a pilot for what.is hoped will be a systematic study of Illinois river sediments. Goals for such a program would include the quantitative analysis of chemical constituents in the state's river sediments, the determination of natural base levels for most trace elements, the identification of adsorptive sediments, and the establishment of a system for the identification and.mapping of significant Chemical concentrations in sediments.
