Purpose	The area of study will be the Illinois River sub-basin (Figure 1). In accordance with the probabilistic survey design to be provided to Oklahoma by the EPA’s National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) in Corvallis, OR, fifty (50) randomly chosen stations will be sampled in the sub-basin with a 5 randomly chosen station revisits conducted over the two years. In addition, 5 non-random reference stations will be sampled over the 2 years.; The main objectives for the project are: 1. Make a statistically valid assessment of the condition of all streams/rivers miles within the sub-basin in support of Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). This assessment will provide a baseline water quality assessment for the sub-basin.; 2. Assist in long- and short-range planning and resource allocation within the basin. When integrated with the fixed-station and the statewide probabilistic networks and landuse data, it will assist in identifying local areas of concern. 3. Provide data that may be used in the refinement of both numerical and narrative water quality standards. 4. Under the guidelines of the Integrated Listing Methodology, allow for the assessment of the Fish & Wildlife Propagation beneficial use on more waters of the state.
