Evaluation of Illinois stream sediment data: CORE monitoring:
Sampling Purpose: During 1980 to 1990, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency conducted a CORE sampling program at selected sites along the Illinois River (Starved Rock, Peoria, and Alton Pools) and Upper Mississippi River (Pools 14, 20, and 26). The CORE program was a 37-station subset of the Agency's ambient stations where sediment and macroinvertebrate samples were collected on a 3-year rotational basis. Composite grab samples were analyzed for volatile matter, total nitrogen, metals, fungicides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and organochlorines.
