Lake Creek Watershed-based Plan

Development of the Lake Creek Watershed-based Plan began in January of 2017. Initial planning efforts involved gathering a stakeholder group that eventually led to the Lake Creek Watershed Council. A watershed resource inventory was constructed to characterize various watershed components. This document also identifies areas impacted by nonpoint source pollution.

 

The Lake Creek Watershed contains 21,785 acres of predominantly forested and agricultural land.  Four waterbodies in the watershed have been placed on IEPA’s 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. These include: Beaver Creek, Lake Creek, Arrowhead Lake, and Johnston City Lake. Best Management Practices (BMP) were proposed to limit nutrient runoff and restore these waterbodies. More information can be found in the Lake Creek Watershed-based Plan below.
