Meeting in the County Board Conference Room of the County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

A resolution is to be considered adopting the McHenry County Water Resources Action Plan. Recommending that the County Board adopt the Water Resources Action Plan recommendations. This had a beginning in 2009 when the County Board adopted a resolution for review and consideration to adopt and implement applicable model policies, where possible, over a twelve-month period.

These policies were reviewed and now the Water Resources Action Plan recommendations are to be implemented. The County Board is scheduled to consider this at its October 18 Board Meeting.

Other mattes the NERC will be considering Wednesday morning includes authorization of a Letter of Understanding between McHenry County and the McHenry County Conservation District concerning projects the Conservation District develops. This is a second letter of understanding between the County and the Conservation District and deals mostly with the recently adopted Stormwater Management Ordinance Amendment which eliminated the requirement to provide stormwater detention on projects that create up to one care of new impervious surface and provided that the impervious surface is not more than 10% of the ownership parcel.
