Abstract
An integrated management plan considers and balances the needs of human communities and ecological resources, seeking solutions and remedies that are healthy for both. People who live and work in the watershed contributed to the plan with decision-making by consensus.
During 1996, nearly 100 Illinoisans participated in a year-long effort to develop and reach agreement on specific actions that now constitute this plan. Participants included members of the Illinois River Strategy Team, Illinois River Planning Committee, and six Action Teams (see Appendices).
The Plan contains 34 recommendations and is divided into six sections. In the Corridor addresses the Illinois River and its associated backwater lakes and floodplains. The other sections address issues throughout the watershed: Soil & Water Movement, Agricultural Practices, Economic Development, Local Action, and Education. Each recommendation includes brief summaries of the implementation steps associated with it. A separate technical report is also available from the Office of Lt. Governor Kustra, which contains the full detail of the implementation steps, benefit and cost estimates for many recommendations, a summary of existing programs, and Action Teams’ participants.
