description The USDA UV-B Monitoring site is located west of Champaign, Illinois, about 4 miles on highway 10 then 3 miles south on Highway 19. The Illinois State Water Survey has continuously monitored the rural atmosphere in Champaign County, IL for more than 30 years. This site is the Bondville Environmental and Atmospheric Research Site (BEARS). This Illinois State Water Survey site includes: air quality, precipitation chemistry, solar physics, climate and meteorology and particulate monitoring. The SURFRAD station in Bondville is located in an agricultural region about ten miles southwest of Champaign, Illinois. Picture of Bondville (IL) facility
