| 102: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2010 May 28 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Green infrastructure practices, for purposes of this study, are urban stormwater management techniques that rely on natural systems to retain more stormwater on-site through infiltration, evapotranspiration and harvesting for reuse. Implementing green infrastructure practices helps attenuate nutrients and other pollutants and reduce runoff volumes and peak flows. Based on our review of peer-reviewed scientific reports and articles, we found that, on average, many of these practices are as effective as conventional on-site detention basins in reducing total suspended solids and total nitrogen being discharged to waterways and that they can also reduce runoff volumes and peak flows discharged to urban streams, reducing erosion, sedimentation and flood risks. | | | | Date Created: | 06 01 2010 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042706 Original UID: 22242 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |

The intent of those comments was to recognize the limits the legislative language placed on the IEPA effort and subsequently request the Agency allow the IDNR to present an expanded application of green infrastructure via this addendum. Despite the IDNR advocating an expanding application of green infrastructure, the IDNR recognizes the IEPAs storm water green infrastructure initiative as a commendable and critical first step. | | | | Date Created: | 05 28 2010 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042707 Original UID: 22243 FIRST WORD: Illinois | |
