There are two main animals in Illinois that cause damage to waterways, the beaver and the muskrat. 

Beaver take up habitation in ponds, lakes, and streams.  The most obvious damage from beavers is their chewing and felling of trees.  They also dam up creeks, and storm drains, causing flooding. Beavers often build bank dens, causing the collapse of earth along the waters edge.

Muskrats take up residence in ponds and lakes, building bank side dens as well, causing the banks to errode and cave in, especially when lawn equipment, golf carts, etc, are driven across them.  Muskrats also like to chew on irrigation lines and fountain heads.
