SCHEDULE UPDATES

The Intergovernmental Grant Agreement (IGGA) with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) stipulates the following milestones for Phase II - Final Design (see Exhibit B):

COORDINATION

The following is a list of non-residential parties the Village is also coordinating with for Section I:

• Carol Stream Public Library
• Carol Stream Park District (Armstrong Park)
• DuPage County Stormwater (Armstrong Park Flood Control Reservoir)
• Commonwealth Edison (ComEd)

BACKGROUND 

As noted in the project page for Section I, an Inter-governmental Grant Agreement (IGGA) between the Village and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) was fully executed in February 2021 (Resolution No. 3170). The IGGA will reimburse the Village for costs related to both design and construction at a rate of 50%, for up to $1,000,000 (not-to-exceed). The scope of work described in the IGGA was developed by translating the concept design into the following "Outputs" as listed below (see also Exhibit A of IGGA):

	5,870 feet of Streambank Stabilization		3,670 feet of Stream Channel Stabilization
Example:		Example:
	5 acres of Riparian Buffer		1.4 acres of Wetland Restoration
Example:		Example:

In addition to the above, three Educational Signs and this Website is also required as part of the public outreach.

The IGGA also stipulates the following milestones as listed in Exhibit B:

• Design, Permitting and Construction Contract Documents: December 31, 2021
• Draft Landowner Agreement(s): December 31, 2021
• Final Landowner Agreement(s): January 31, 2022
• Construction Completion: July 15, 2023

 DUPAGE RIVER SALT CREEK WORKGROUP (DRSCW) FUNDING

At their quarterly membership meeting on June 30, 2021, the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup (DRSCW) announced their intention to sign a Grant Agreement (GA) with the Village. The GA was officially passed by the Village's Board of Trustees (Resolution No. 3234) on January 17, 2022 and will provide up to $1,100,000 in funding to construct a portion of Section I (a.k.a. Section I-A), which is the portion between the Water Reclamation Center's outfall and Kuhn Road. However, the GA stipulates that the Village will use the funding it saves towards the streambank stabilization of another stretch along Klein Creek upstream of the Water Reclamation Center's outfall.

In addition, the DRSCW's funding of Section I-A will require that the Village relocate some of the "Outputs" from its IGGA with the IEPA to another stretch along Klein Creek. These "Outputs" are estimated to be 1.4 acres of Wetland Restoration, 5 acres of Riparian Buffer, 1,970 feet Stream Channel Stabilization, and 2,470 feet of Streambank Stabilization.

The Village has chosen Section III, which is from Mitchell Lakes to Illini Drive, as the most practicable stretch of Klein Creek to relocate said "Outputs". Section III is about the same length as Section I-A and, just like Section I-A, the Wetland Restoration can be done entirely on publicly owned property (i.e. Park District’s Outdoor Storage Area and Village property north of the Library).

The execution of the IGGA with the DRSCW marks the end of Phase I and the start of Phase II.
