Location
Farm Creek, Illinois
Description
The project includes two dry reservoirs (Fondulac and Farmdale) located on tributary streams to the Illinois Waterway upstream of Peoria, Illinois, providing flood control for East Peoria, Illinois. Regional economic impacts are $924,000 from an estimated 55,000 visits.
Background
Flood protection is accomplished by two detention reservoirs, Farmdale and Fondulac, and by channel improvements in the lower reaches of Farm Creek, Cole Creek and Kerfoot Creek. The reservoirs are normally empty, with the dry weather flow in the creeks passing through the outlet conduits. Temporary storage in the reservoirs will commence only when the flow in the feeder streams exceeds the outlet capacity.
Status
Project is in operation.
