© Lake Decatur Watershed Management Plan—Phase II Scope of Services&Budget <br /> a. Production agriculture. <br /> b. Specialty/organic crops. <br /> c. Conservation and innovation. <br /> d. Marketing and outreach initiatives (i.e. locally sourced products). <br /> This task includes advancing these project opportunities through coordinating with the City,stakeholders,landowners, <br /> regulators,and the private sector. Research and prefeasibility analysis will be performed on relevant projects to further <br /> evaluate the opportunities, benefits, weaknesses, and costs. Northwater will also outline funding strategies that <br /> minimize implementation costs to the City. <br /> Task 2.5. Monitoring Program <br /> The monitoring program during Phase II includes: <br /> 1. Direct and manage all monitoring efforts and maintain/manage a database. <br /> 2. Establishment of 3 flow and water quality monitoring stations in the watershed. Locations include, (i) <br /> Sangamon River IL 32,(ii)Friends Creek,(iii)Big/Long Creek,and(iv)Sand Creek. This monitoring is being done <br /> bi-weekly in partnership with the ISWS. Northwater shall perform storm-event sampling,targeting 3 to 4 storm <br /> events per year. City to perform laboratory analysis for the storm-event samples but not the ISWS bi-weekly <br /> samples. <br /> 3. Design and commission sensor network on the Sangamon River at the IL 32 bridge. To include river stage, <br /> nitrate sensor, turbidity sensor and temperature/conductivity logger. This work will be done in partnership <br /> with the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center(NGRREC). This system will not be procured and <br /> installed until after notice of RCPP award. <br /> 4. Baseline water quality and flow monitoring at two potential BMP sites. The City to perform laboratory analysis. <br /> 5. A lake bathymetry and sediment accumulation monitoring plan will be memorialized shortly after Phase II <br /> notice to proceed. The first bathymetry survey is proposed in the fall of 2021 under Phase III. Bathymetry and <br /> sediment accumulation monitoring in the lake is not included in Northwater's watershed management budget <br /> projections. <br /> 4 northwater <br />
