				  determine the limnological, morphological, demographic, and other pertinent
				  characteristics of an inland lake and its associated watershed and the analysis
				  of this information to determine the most appropriate method for improving or
				  preserving the quality of the lake for intended uses and to determine the need
				  for a Long-Term Restoration and Preservation (Phase II) Project or a Lake Water
				  Quality Maintenance Program (LQMP). [525 ILCS
				  25/3(d) ]
Illinois Clean Lakes Program (ICLP): the inland lake study or
				  implementation financial assistance award program administered by the Agency
				  pursuant to the Illinois Lake Management Act [525 ILCS 25] and the Conservation

				  25/3(f) ]
Lake Water Quality Maintenance Program (LQMP): the water
				  quality maintenance program described in Section 25/3 of the Illinois Lake
				  Management Program Act [525 ILCS 25] for implementation of a lake and watershed
				  management plan recommended by the Diagnostic and Feasibility Phase I Study
				  which provides short-term relief from nuisance aquatic vegetation and algae
				  growth; projects under this program must demonstrate that the proposed
				  maintenance program would result in attainment of significant public
				  recreational lake use, and that watershed management plans are being
				  implemented to control and reduce incoming nutrients, sediments, and other
				  pollutants. [525 ILCS
				  25/3(l) ]
Long-Term Restoration and Preservation (Phase II) Project:
				  implementation of lake and watershed management plans as developed under the

Priority Points (PP): the individual points based on various
				  factors assigned to an inland lake study or implementation project
				  application.
Total Priority Points (TPP): the sum of all Priority Points
				  assigned to an inland lake study or implementation project application.
Uncommon Resource: an inland lake known to contain endangered
				  or threatened species.
Unique Resource: an inland lake that has oligotrophic water
				  quality and is capable of supporting year-round cold water or "two-tiered"
