This report summarizes monitoring activities of the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) during 1999 and highlights selected results and accomplishments pertaining to hydrology, water quality, fish, macroinvertebrates, and vegetation. Mean discharge in 1999 was above average in the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, but spring flooding was relatively minor. Total nitrogen concentration has declined in the upper reaches of the LTRMP study area (Pools 4 and 8) from highs of about 4 mg/L in 1993 to present levels of about 1.5 mg/L. Mass balance budgets indicate that little nitrogen is lost (denitrified) as water moves through the LTRMP study pools on the Mississippi River. La Grange Pool on the Illinois...
