REMARKS FOR CURRENT YEAR.--Benthic macroinvertebrate community samples were collected as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment program (NAWQA) in the upper Illinois River Basin. One quantitative sample was collected in accordance with the NAWQA protocols (Cuffney and others, 1993). The quantitative sample was a composite of macroinvertebrates from about 10 submerged tree branches. Branches were cut underwater, gathered in a 425µm mesh net, and invertebrates were washed or picked from the branches. The average length and average diameter of each branch were measured and used to calculate an approximate surface area. All samples were processed by the USGS National Water-Quality Laboratory. Phylum, Class, Order, Suborder, Family, Subfamily, and Tribe are listed and arranged according to the USGS National Water-Quality Laboratory taxonomic hierarchy. Reach A begins 82 feet upstream of Cottage Grove Bridge and continues upstream for 525 feet. The surface area sampled at reach A was 0.36 m2.
