Content (Primary)

The Illinois Guide to Developing a Source Water Protection Plan was modified from two previously-produced tools with permission: The Pennsylvania Guide to Developing a Source Water Protection Plan (2002) and SWP Template from the PA Rural Water Association. and the Montana Guide to Developing a Source Water Protection Plan (1999). The original author of much of the primary training in Montana's version was Joe Meek of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and their source water protection staff in cooperation with the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. The rewrite for Illinois was by Kevin Kundert of the Montana Water Center, Anthony Dulka of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Mark Mitchell of the Illinois Rural Water Association. Summary Source Water Assessment Program Fact Sheets were prepared by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey. The following organizations graciously allowed us to use or include their publications in the product:

  • Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
  • Illinois Rural Water Association
  • Montana Water Center
  • Montana Department of Environmental Quality
  • Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality
  • Pennsylvania DCNR - Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey
  • Pennsylvania Environmental Council
