Illicit Discharges Investigations Illicit discharges investigations are additional investigations of pollutant sources to the water body. These may include nutrients, sewage, animal wastes, sediment, oil, or any discharges from point sources. The observations collected from the road/stream crossing survey were reviewed for the following parameters and conditions: • Abundant aquatic plants • Abundant floating algae • Abundant filamentous algae • Abundant bacteriological slime • Abundant turbidity • Present or abundant oil sheens • Present or abundant foam • Septic tanks ruled as a moderate or high priority pollutant source • Industrial point sources identified as a moderate or high priority pollutant source • Municipal point sources identified as a moderate or high priority pollutant source Twelve (12) locations were identified as having potential illicit discharge problems. These locations are presented in Figure 3-5. Section 3: Water Quality Conditions 3-11
Tasks • Have a professional revisit the site and verify the existence and nature of the problem • Stop the illicit discharge or remove the illicit connection. 10. Other Actions Additional actions were identified based on comments provided on the field forms. The problems and their associated actions are summarized in Table 3-2. Table 3-2 Additional Problems and Actions Site ID Problem Task 8-8 Culvert erosion under cement Install adequate BMP supports G Potential for asphalt / cement Repair culvert restriction in water G-State Rd. Construction site right up to stream bank with no BMP Install BMP Data Extrapolation The results of the data analysis may be extrapolated to the rest of the watershed as a means of estimating the magnitude of problems through the watershed. Road-stream inventories were completed at approximately 43 percent (75 out of 173) of the crossings in the watershed. Table 3-3 estimates the total number of problems throughout the watershed based on direct proportions.

Field methods used for conducting the upland field assessment were developed by the Center for Watershed Protection. A number of assessments were conducted to find potential problem areas, including Neighborhood Source Assessment, Pervious Area Assessment, Hotspot Assessment, and Streets and Storm Drain Assessment. These assessments were used to develop a list of potential solutions and retrofit projects that could lessen the impact of development and urbanization of the water quality of the Looking Glass River Watershed. 3-12 Looking Glass River Watershed April 2007 Soil Erosion US-27 & Locher Rd.
