**Specific Disclaimer For Surface Water Data** The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois EPA”) has provided the data at your request. Neither the State of Illinois nor the Illinois EPA nor any of the Illinois EPA’s employees makes any warranty, expressed or implied, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the data. Regardless of the presence, absence, or type of data qualifier associated with each result, the Illinois EPA does not deem the results of the following analytes, analyzed by the Illinois EPA Champaign laboratory, during the specified time periods to be fit for the Integrated Report pursuant to Sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the Clean Water Act as these results failed to meet quality control criteria or failed to meet data quality objectives as defined in the various Illinois EPA documents. For these analytes, analyzed by the Illinois EPA Champaign laboratory, and for the above-mentioned purposes, the Illinois EPA intends to further review the results of samples collected after 12/31/2003, and therefore does not intend to use the data until a complete review of samples has been conducted. Data sets not used were: ammonia collected from 01/01/1997 through 12/31/1999 and 10/01/2002 through 12/31/2003; phenols and total Kjeldahl nitrogen data collected from 01/01/1999 through 12/31/2003; and phosphorus, nitrate/nitrite, chloride, alkalinity, sulfate, cyanide, chlorophyll, total suspended solids, volatile suspended solids and total dissolved solids collected from 10/01/2002 through 12/312003. The act of distribution of the data shall not constitute any such warranty, and no responsibility is assumed by the Illinois EPA in the use of the data or related information. In no event shall the Illinois EPA have any liability whatsoever for payment of any consequential, incidental, special or tort damages of any kind, including but not limited to, any loss of profits arising out of use of, or reliance on the data or arising out of the delivery, installation, operation or support by the Illinois EPA.

**Additional Disclaimer for Ammonia Results** More recently discovered and not mentioned in the disclaimer language above, ammonia analyses performed by the Illinois EPA Champaign laboratory and that used the USEPA method 350.1 (i.e., samples collected 01/01/2004 through approximately July 2006) did not include a distillation step and therefore the ammonia results are subject to inaccuracies attributable to interferences from color or turbidity in the ambient water sample. This fact is not necessarily reflected in the data qualifiers provided with the results.Station codeSampling dateWhole/fillet Fish species Stream or lake nameCountySample locationNumber of individual

Averaged Result (Only to be used for Fish Field Data and Bacteria data). A Used for bacteria results only. Result based on colony counts outside the acceptable range. B Value calculated. (Used for bacteria results and for calculated hardness value; reported result was calculated from other available data. For bacteria result, two or more colony counts within the acceptable range, but at different dilutions.) C Estimated value: Analyte was detected between the specified reporting limit (RL) and the method detection limit (MDL). For older records (i.e., approx. year 2003 and earlier) for which the "Remark Code" = "J", the meaning of "J" is broader. For these records "J" is equivalent to qualifier codes "J1", "J3","J4", or any combination thereof. J J J J

Surrogate compound recovery limits have not been met J1 Internal Standard criteria were not met J2 Q The reported value failed to meet the established quality control criteria for either precision or accuracy possibly due to matrix effects. J3 The sample matrix interfered with the ability to make any accurate determination (i.e. oily samples, high mineral content in SOCs, etc.) J4 MI “Blank Spike failed high, result was non-detect - impact on data may be minimal” J5 “Blank Spike failed high – possible high bias or false positive result” J6 “Blank Spike failed low – possible low bias or false non-detect result” J7 Spike recovery outside accepted limits. S S Actual value not known, but known to be less than value shown. For older records (i.e., approx. year 2003 and earlier) for which "Remark Code" = "K" or "L", the value reported in the result field typically represents the minimum or maximum, respectively, reporting limit of the laboratory method used to obtain that result. Therefore, data users are cautioned against simply accepting and using these reporting-limit values as the actual result. K

The concentration of the analyte was above the acceptable level for quantitation. For older records (i.e., approx. year 2003 and earlier) for which "Remark Code" = "K" or "L", the value reported in the result field typically represents the minimum or maximum, respectively, reporting limit of the laboratory method used to obtain that result. Therefore, data users are cautioned against simply accepting and using these reporting-limit values as the actual result. (For bacteria, result calculated as if the smallest filtration volume had a count of 200). L E E E

Presence of material verified (i.e., positive detection). Value is estimated. M Presumptive evidence of presence of material. The qualifier shall be used if: (1) The component has been tentatively identified based on mass spectral library search; or (2) There is an indication that the analyte is present, but quality control requirements for confirmation were not met. N

Holding time exceeded. Q H H H Sample received past holding time. HT Test results provided by outside source. S Used for bacteria results only. Too Numerous to Count TNTC TNTC Indicates the analyte was detected in both the sample and the associated method blank and was outside method blank acceptance criteria. V B B B Reported value should not be used. Some or all of the quality control data for the analyte were outside acceptance criteria, and the presence or absence of the analyte cannot be determined from the data. X (or "?" for older records) The laboratory analysis was performed on an unpreserved or improperly preserved sample. Y Not detected. Note: For results reported by Illinois EPA labs, if no Method Detection Limit is reported, then ND means not detected at the reported Reporting Limit. ND ND ND ND RL (reporting limit) adjusted to MDL (method detection limit) M RPD (Relative percent difference) outside acceptable recovery limits. R R R Dilution factor DF Not reported NR Absent _A Present _P Results are not compliant with the NELAC standards # (or "z") Non-NELAP accredited for this analysis. * (or "e") c Refer to case narrative for specific requirements.
