DuPage River Salt Creek
Workgroup
The East & West Branches of
the DuPage River and Salt Creek are located in
Northeastern Illinois, including portions of Cook,
DuPage, and Will Counties and encompass an area of
approximately 350 square miles of urbanized watershed.
The DRSCW (DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup) formed in
2005 in response to concerns about TMDLs (Total Maximum
Daily Loads) being set for the East & West Branches of
the DuPage River and
Salt Creek. The DRSCW is made up of local
communities, Publically Owned Treatment Works and
private environmental
organizations. The DRSCW is committed to producing
comprehensive data sets for local watersheds in order to
determine and resolve priority stressors to local
aquatic systems. The organization seeks to implement
targeted watershed activities that resolve priority
water way problems efficiently and cost effectively.
