From The Changing Illinois Environment: Critical Trends , Summary Report of the Critical Trends Assessment Project
This summary report is an integrated synopsis of the seven-volume technical report prepared for the Critical Trends Assessment Project. CTAP investigators drew heavily upon the work of many different agencies, chief among them the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. To save space, data and documents drawn from outside sources were credited in this synopsis to the ENR divisions that authored the respective volumes of the CTAP technical report; original sources are credited in full in the volumes listed below.
