oxygen criteria will not improve the condition of Illinois streams such as the Fox River, rather it will have theopposite effect by furtherdegrading water quality and harming aquatic life.
The effects of low dissolved oxygen in rivers such as
Fox are well documented.
Lower

The proposed nile change by IAWA will not improve the condition
of the Fox River, but it has the potential to accelerate its declining condition.
