SECTION B
A. Public Education and Outreach
A1. Distribution of Paper Material
DCSM has created several handouts and brochures pertaining to sources of pollutants in waterways and water
quality BMPs. These, as well as handouts from other entities, are distributed at public events, are available in
office, posted online, and sent out in newsletters and through social media. Informational topics include rain
barrels, rain gardens, native plants, other green infrastructure techniques, citizen monitoring of waterways and
seasonal BMPs for the spring, summer, fall and winter. These materials are updated as needed to incorporate
new and updated information, including the effects of climate change on stormwater impacts. Each co-
permitee is responsible for making educational materials available in their office and on their websites.
Goal:
Number of educational materials updated or created per year for distribution.
Milestone:
Update or create 2 digital or print materials for distribution by co-permitees.
Status:
During the reporting year, DuPage County Stormwater Management (DCSM) staff created or updated the
following educational materials:
Social Media infographics which can be found on our Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram pages and
shared by co-permitees. They can be found at: www.twitter.com/lovebluedupage ,
www.facebook.com/lovebluedupage , and www.instagram.com/lovebluedupage

2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and associated social distancing guidelines, distribution of materials at events
and in office were again limited during the 2021-2022 reporting year. However, the digital brochures were
available on websites in pdf form and shared through email, newsletter, and social media links.
A2. Speaking Engagement
DCSM coordinates, hosts, and presents at workshops on topics including water quality efforts for the
watersheds, methods for pollutant reduction, during and after construction BMPs, native vegetation, and
green infrastructure. Presentations include information on the potential impacts and effects of stormwater
discharge due to climate change as applicable. Each co-permitee is responsible for promoting and advertising
workshops within their jurisdictions.
Goal:
Number of presentations made by DCSM staff per year.
Milestone:
Conduct 7 presentations per year.
Status:
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and associated social distancing guidelines, many in-person events did not
occur again in 2021. DuPage County and co-permittees adapted by switching to a virtual event format.
DCSM staff presented and hosted virtual educational workshops and conferences to educate the general
public as well as professionals about water quality trends and issues. Rather than holding workshops in every
major watershed, all workshops and conferences were made available to all residents and professional staff.

A4. Community Event
DCSM coordinates with co-permitees to present at countywide community events, both in person or virtually,
on topics including water quality efforts for the watersheds and pollutant reduction, native vegetation, and
green infrastructure.
Goal:
Number of events participated in or hosted per year.
Milestone:
Host or participate in 9 countywide events per year to educate the public on water quality topics.
Status:
In a typical year, DCSM and co-permitee staff attend, present at, sponsor, and host events throughout the
county to educate the public about water quality topics and issues. Due to Covid-19, many in person events
were again cancelled for 2021. However, this was supplemented by hosting, presenting at, and attending
several virtual events. These events are advertised by DCSM and can shared by co-permitees through
newsletters and social media. During the reporting year, the following events were hosted, attended, and/or
presented at:

2021 DuPage County River Sweep
The annual DuPage County River Sweep is a county-wide self-coordinated stream cleanup and restoration
event. The purpose of the River Sweep is to encourage volunteers to help “sweep our rivers clean” by picking
up debris in and along the local waterways and restoring nearby land back to its natural state. In 2021, over 47
miles of shoreline were cleared of trash. Since its inception in 1991, over 14,399 volunteers have removed
approximately 292 tons of garbage from the DuPage County waterways.
Date of Event: May 15, 2021
Number of Participants: 587 volunteers
Area Covered: Approx. 47 miles
West Branch Totals - 17.5 miles
East Branch/ Salt Creek -29.5 miles
Tons of Litter: Approximately 7.66 tons
Restoration Work: 1.5 acres restored (buckthorn, honeysuckle, and garlic mustard removed)
Adopt-A-Stream
Adopt-A-Stream was initiated by DuPage County Stormwater Management in 1995. The program encourages
citizen-based stewardship of the County’s water resources to keep them healthy, clean, and attractive. It
supports the belief that everyone can make a difference in the aquatic habitats and general appeal of the
County’s waterways. When groups remove trash from streams and waterways two times a year for two-years,
they become eligible for a sign. There was 1 group eligible for a sign during the reporting year.
Number of Volunteer Groups: 32
Number of Volunteers: 245
Number of bags of trash: 155
Estimated pounds of trash: 1,615 lbs.
Installed sign: 1 (Engineering Resource Associates, Inc.-ERA)

Conservation@Home / Conservation@Work
The Conservation@Home and Conservation@Work programs promote the use of native landscaping, rain
gardens and rain barrels to homeowners, businesses, and developers in DuPage County.
Conservation@Home/Work provides a way to educate the citizens of DuPage County about stormwater and
provides them with the resources they can use to improve water quality on their properties. DuPage County
Stormwater Management sponsors the programs which are conducted by The Conservation Foundation. Staff
conducts evaluations and certifications of residential properties, school campuses and business properties
throughout the county as well as provides information and resources for planting and maintaining certified
properties and promotes the program through presentations and partnerships.
Through these programs eighteen (19) homes were certified during the reporting period. Another sixteen (16)
homes are in-progress sites for certification in the Conservation @ Home program.
Rain Barrels
During the reporting year, Six-hundred thirty-nine (639) rain barrels were distributed throughout DuPage
County communities. All the sales were through The Conservation Foundation (TCF) website link for DuPage
County residents to purchase rain barrels
The Conservation Foundation maintains a countywide link for DuPage County residents to purchase rain
barrels. Residents have the option to pick-up their rain barrel or they can have it delivered. Videos instructing
homeowners on how to install a rain barrel are posted on the DuPage County Love Blue Live Green YouTube
page and the Conservation Foundation website. In a typical year, DuPage County sponsors rain barrel raffles at
various events and watershed stakeholder meetings throughout the year; however, rain barrel raffles were
limited during the reporting year due to Covid-19.

B3. Stakeholder Meeting
Goal:
DCSM hosts regular water quality stakeholder meetings in the form of workshops in each of the main
watersheds to address matters pertaining to pollutant reduction on a watershed level. These have largely
moved to a virtual format and are now available to all members of the public throughout all watersheds. In
addition, watershed stakeholder meetings are held to gather input on water quality impairments as part of
watershed planning efforts.
Milestone:
Participate in or organize 3 water quality stakeholder meetings per year.
Status:
The Covid-19 pandemic required moving stakeholder meetings to a virtual platform. On a virtual meeting
platform, we were able to open all workshops to all members of the public in all watersheds. Attendance at
each workshop was increased in the virtual format and we plan to continue hosting virtual workshops in the
future in addition to in-person events once public health recommendations allow.

B6. Program Involvement
Goal:
DCSM coordinates educational and public involvement strategies. To gauge their effectiveness, DCSM develops
and distributes surveys via an email list, webpage, and/ or on social media. These surveys gather feedback
from recent outreach activities and measure citizen views, behaviors, and concerns pertaining to a variety of
topics, including water quality, property management, flood perceptions, and residential pollutant control.
Milestone:
Develop and disperse 1 survey per year.
Status:
A street sweeping and leaf litter practices survey was conducted by the DRSCW in April 2021. The survey
received 55 responses from municipalities, townships, and agencies.
Additionally, a storm sewer maintenance survey was conducted by DuPage County Stormwater Management
in January and February 2022 and received 34 responses from municipalities and townships.
No formal surveys were conducted to the general public during the reporting year.

C. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
C1. Storm Sewer Map Preparation
Goal:
Co-permitees provide a current storm sewer atlas to the DCSM. DCSM collects, compiles, and field verifies
storm sewer maps to create a comprehensive storm sewer atlas. The atlas also includes the municipal limits of
all participating MS4s extending outside of the DuPage County boundaries. Co-permitees provide DCSM with
updates of the storm sewer atlas as needed.
Milestone:
Compile and verify the storm sewer atlas for 80% of DuPage County.
Status:
DuPage County Stormwater staff continues to work with townships, municipalities, and other county
departments to update the storm sewer atlas with current storm sewer locations.
Agency Date
Willowbrook- Uploaded latest data 5/26/2021
During the 2021 reporting year, DuPage County Stormwater continued to combine all storm sewer data for
the county into one comprehensive GIS database. Combining each agency’s data into one comprehensive
layer will simplify tracing and spill response within DuPage County. Staff began creating a standard attribute
set for the County in 2017 and continued to work with DuPage County Department of Transportation
throughout 2021 on combining all data into a comprehensive layer.
C2. Regulatory Control Program
Goal:
Each co-permitee has enacted an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Ordinance which regulates
non-stormwater discharges to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. DCSM enforces IDDE violations
within unincorporated DuPage County and the Townships. Municipalities are responsible for enforcement
within their limits. DCSM notifies the municipality when an illicit discharge is detected within municipal limits.
DCSM informs the municipality of the location of the illicit discharge, the time(s) and date(s) of the discharge,
and any additional information that would be necessary or prudent for the Municipality to have in order to
carry out enforcement proceedings. DCSM provides municipalities with information required for enforcement
action and prosecution and produces DCSM personnel in court, as necessary and upon adequate notice.
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
39
2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Milestone:
Review and amend the Ordinances, as needed to reflect new information and regulations.
Status:
The Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Ordinance was approved by the DuPage County
Stormwater Management Planning Committee and County Board in May 2009. Following approval, the IDDE
Ordinance was added to the DuPage County Code as Chapter 16. In January 2021, the DuPage County
Stormwater Management Committee and County Board approved an amendment to the DuPage County IDDE
Ordinance to mirror the numbering system and language used in the DuPage County Code standard Municode
system. The provisions of the IDDE Ordinance did not change. No amendments were made during the 2021-
2022 reporting period.
C3. Detection/Elimination Prioritization Plan
Goal:
DCSM compiles information pertaining to the ten-step prioritization plan identified in the DuPage County IDDE
Program Technical Guidance. Major watersheds for which outfalls have been prioritized.
Milestone:
Complete Des Plaines River, DuPage River, and Fox River Outfall Prioritization
Status:
After completing steps 1 and 2 in the DuPage County IDDE Program Technical Guidance outfall prioritization
plan in 2016, we were scheduled to complete steps 3 and 4 in 2017. County staff adjusted the prioritization
plan goal to complete outfall prioritization for the watershed that is scheduled for monitoring that year.
Because the sections of the Des Plaines River, DuPage River, and Fox River watersheds were scheduled for
outfall monitoring in 2021, outfall prioritization was completed for those three watersheds using the following
steps:
Step 3 – Determine which of the Reach Illicit Discharge Risk Factors and Subbasin Illicit Discharge Risk Factors
are going to be used for prioritization
Step 4 – Gather data required to compute the Reach Illicit Discharge Risk Factors and Subbasin Illicit Discharge
Risk Factors
Step 5 – Compute Reach Illicit Discharge Risk Factors
Step 6 – Compute Subbasin Illicit Discharge Risk Factors
Step 7 – Compute Subbasin Illicit Discharge Risk Scores
Step 8 – Create Prioritization Scoring Map and Table
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
40
2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Step 9 – Perform Critical Review
Step 10 – Review Prioritization
Steps 3-5: The reach illicit discharge risk factor we selected was the number of outfalls per stream mile (≥30).
We considered outfalls located within 20ft of the Other_Outfalls_Stream_Miles GIS layer to be within the
stream. Number of outfalls per stream mile (≥30) came to 0 priority outfalls.
The subbasin illicit discharge factors selected for inclusion were land use and high nutrients. No subbasins
within the selected watersheds contain at least 50% industrially zoned land use. We identified areas of high
nutrients, dissolved materials, or heavy metals not associated with POTWs as listed in the “Biological and
Water Quality Study of the Lower DuPage River Watershed: Year 3 Rotation 2018” and none of those areas
were within DuPage County. Additionally, no reports on high nutrients for the DuPage County portions of the
Des Plaines River and Fox River are available. No outfalls were identified as priority outfalls based in industrial
land use and high nutrients.
Historic discharge complaint locations were included as illicit discharge risks. The DuPage County Department
of Health provided discharge and septic complaints from the last 5 years. Within the identified portions of the
Des Plaines, DuPage and Fox Watersheds, we created 500 ft buffers surrounding the complaint locations and
prioritized any outfalls within the buffer, which accounted for 5 priority outfalls.
Unresolved Areas of Concern within the selected watersheds were included as priorities. These are outfalls
which previously received a discharge complaint, but the source was not identified, or the issue not resolved.
This provided 2 additional priority outfalls.
Steps 6-8 were modified to score anything that met the criteria of an illicit discharge risk factor as a priority
outfall.
This prioritization process resulted in the classification of 7 priority outfalls out of a total of 694 MS4 outfalls in
the selected areas of the Des Plaines, DuPage, and Fox River watersheds.
C4. Illicit Discharge Tracing Procedures
Goal:
Follow guidelines in the IDDE Program Technical Guidance manual to trace illicit discharges. Update the
manual to reflect new techniques and practices.
Milestone:
Continue tracing illicit discharges in accordance with the DuPage County IDDE Technical Guidance Manual.
Review and update the manual as needed.
Status:

C5. Illicit Source Removal Procedures
Goal:
The number of advertisements or promotions of the IDDE reporting phone line or Citizen Reporter App.
Milestone:
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
45
2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Advertise or promote the IDDE Hotline or Citizen Reporter App 5 times through publications, notices, and
events.
Status:
DuPage County staff maintains the “Citizen Reporter App” which provides citizens the opportunity to
participate in the water quality program by identifying areas for water quality improvements. By using the
app, citizens can report water quality issues such as erosion, stream blockages, algae, dumping, sediment,
garbage, and other water quality issues. The Citizen Reporter App can be accessed at:
https://gis.dupageco.org/CitizenReporter/
County staff has created 22 brochures and flyers for distribution as discussed earlier in the education and
outreach section of this report. Many of these include a link to the Citizen Reporter App. These publications
are distributed at each event the County attends as an exhibitor (also discussed in education and outreach
section). These documents are available on our website at:
https://www.dupageco.org/EDP/Stormwater_Management/1163/
From March 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022, a total of 28 reports were received through the Citizen
Reporter App. Reports included observations on stream erosion, stream blockage reports, illegal dumping, and
drainage/flooding concerns. Reports are addressed directly by DCSM staff, forwarded to municipalities, or
used for planning purposes as appropriate.
C7. Visual Dry Weather Screening
Goal:
The number of MS4 outfalls visually screened per watershed per year.
Milestone:
Inspect, during dry weather, all known outfalls within the Des Plaines and Fox River watershed that fall within
co-permittee jurisdictional areas. Additionally, all priority outfalls will be inspected.
Status:
The Des Plaines, Fox, and DuPage River watershed outfalls that fall within co-permittee jurisdictional areas
was the target for the 2021/22 monitoring season.
516 outfalls were visually inspected for illicit discharges within the co-permittee jurisdictional areas of the Des
Plaines, Fox, and DuPage River. All 148 East Branch Priority Outfalls, 103 West Branch Priority Outfalls and 101
Salt Creek Priority Outfalls were monitored. DuPage County staff continued using the ESRI Arc Collector app
for outfall inspections. This allows us to track outfall inspections digitally, eliminating the need for paperwork.
Outfall inspection and testing information is entered directly into the database, which is also linked to the
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
46
2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
outfall map. The storm sewer inventory has also been converted into the Arc Collector app. This allows staff to
view the storm sewer atlas on a tablet or smartphone, which increases efficiency in illicit discharge tracing.
Kayaks increased outfall monitoring efficiency along the main stems of Salt Creek, the East Branch DuPage
River and West Branch DuPage River. Observing outfalls from the water proved much faster and safer than
driving and hiking to the riverbank. In addition, observers were able to record river conditions that are not
visible when inspecting outfalls from the shoreline.
C8. Pollutant Field Testing
Goal:
Number of visually suspect dry weather discharges that are chemically tested.
Milestone:
Chemically test all visually suspect dry weather discharges that are observed.
Status:
Among the 868 outfalls monitored in 2021, 1 was releasing a suspect discharge and sampled. Most of the
flowing outfalls had no observable indication of illicit discharges, such as color, odor, turbidity, or floatables.
The following table shows the water quality data for the outfall that was sampled out of the 868 inspected
outfalls. The discharges were traced to their source and identified as non-illicit.

C9. Public Notification
Goal:
In the event of a large-scale release of pollutants to Waters of the State that has potential for human health
impacts, DCSM will work with Emergency Management officials to notify affected community officials as well
as issue a press release.
Milestone:
Notify affected parties in the event of a large-scale release of pollutants into Waters of the State that has
potential health impacts.
Status:
No large-scale release of pollutants into Waters of the State occurred from the permit area during the
monitoring year.
In June 2021, a hypochlorite spill from MWRD’s Egan Wastewater Treatment Plant in Schaumburg, which is
just upstream from the county line, was reported to DCSM. MWRD staff conducted containment and cleanup
efforts onsite. However, a small fish kill was noted near the plant. DCSM staff inspected the Salt Creek from
the county line down to Elmhurst. Downstream communities were notified and asked to report any fish kills or
stream observations related to the release. No adverse impacts from the release were observed outside of the
immediate spill area.

Milestone:
Review and update, if necessary, the Ordinance to reflect current best practices for soil erosion and sediment
control
Status:
Article VII of the DuPage County Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance outlines sediment and erosion control
requirements. No revisions were made to Article VII during the reporting year. Co-permitees within DuPage
County follow the Countywide Ordinance. Those MS4s whose boundaries fall outside the DuPage County
limits may follow County or municipal Ordinances, all of which must be as stringent as the ILR40 soil erosion
and sediment control regulations at a minimum.
D2. Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs
Goal:
The DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance requires temporary and permanent soil
erosion and sediment control for developments over one acre to prevent the discharge of pollutants into
waterways. Number of development sites over one acre requiring soil erosion and sediment control.
Milestone:
Require sediment and erosion control on 100% of development sites over one acre.
Status:
DuPage County co-permitees have enacted the construction site erosion control and post-construction best
management practice regulations of the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance or
regulations at least as stringent as those in the DuPage County Ordinance. Municipalities elect to have DuPage
County review development permits on their behalf (non-waiver community) or waive the County review and
perform these reviews in house by qualified staff (complete waiver community) or defer to the County for
certain development reviews such as those involving floodplain or wetlands (partial waiver community). The
waiver status of each co-permittee is listed below. DuPage County reviews all site development permits in
Unincorporated DuPage County which includes the Townships. Communities whose jurisdictions extend

D4. Site Plan Review Procedures
Goal:
The DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance requires a Stormwater Permit for
developments over a certain threshold of site disturbance as well as developments in wetlands, buffers, and
floodplain. All development permits are reviewed for soil erosion and sediment control. The County and
Municipal permit partners have successful regulatory permitting programs under the DuPage County
Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance and will continue to implement and update these programs
as necessary.
Milestone:
Review soil erosion and sediment control plans for 100% of development permits over one acre.
Status:
All co-permitee MS4s with development permit review authority reviewed soil erosion and sediment control
plans for 100% of development permits over once acre (and in many cases all size developments). Records are
kept within each regulatory agency office.
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502

2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
D5. Public Information Handling Procedures
Goal:
DuPage County Citizen Reporter App allows residents throughout the partnership area to report water quality
issues, including soil erosion and sediment control complaints. The County addresses complaints within
unincorporated and non-waiver areas. Complaints generated from Full Waiver or Partial Waiver Communities
are forwarded to the Municipality. The County and Municipalities also receive and respond to soil erosion and
sediment control concerns sent directly from the public through phone and email reports. Number of soil
erosion and sediment control reports addressed per year.
Milestone:
Investigate and track all soil erosion and sediment control reports to the County and Municipalities each year.
Status:
Reports regarding soil erosion and sediment control from developments are submitted to the County as well
as municipalities. Co-permitees communicate with one another to share reports and locate possible sources
from development sites. All soil erosion and sediment control complaints were investigated by the County or
the municipality during the reporting year. Records are kept within each regulatory agency office.
D6. Site Inspection/ Enforcement Procedures
Goal:
Inspect all development sites to ensure the soil erosion and sediment control requirements are being met.
County and Municipal inspectors enforce soil erosion and sediment control regulations and conduct regular
inspections to ensure compliance. Inspection reports are kept within each regulator agency for tracking and
reporting purposes.
Milestone:
Continue with site inspections and code enforcement procedures. Ensure staff has proper qualifications to
conduct soil erosion and sediment control inspections.
Status:
Under the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance , co-permitee villages and cities
may elect to review and inspect development sites for soil erosion and sediment control, or they may elect to
defer oversight to DuPage County. Each co-permitee that issued development permits inspected for soil
erosion and sediment control measures at sites over one acre (and in many cases all size developments) to
minimize the discharge of pollutants into waterways. Records are kept within each regulatory agency office.

2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
E. Post- Construction Runoff Control
E2. Regulatory Control Program
Goal:
The post construction runoff rate is restricted through the Countywide Ordinance which requires all
developments increasing impervious area by 2,500 square feet or more to include Post Construction Best
Management Practices. Continue to require post construction best management practices in accordance with
the Countywide Ordinance. Implementing and utilizing the DuPage County BMP Manual will reduce post
construction runoff pollutants and will ensure discharge from developed sites will be treated.
Milestone:
Work through the Municipal Engineers Group to update Technical Guidance regarding Post Construction BMPs.
Review and revise the Ordinance and/ or BMP Manual as needed to reflect new information and standard
practices.
Status:
The DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Floodplain Ordinance (DCCSFO) is continually reviewed to
determine if updates are needed. As the DCCSFO is a countywide ordinance, the regulations apply to the
entire county and all municipalities must be at least as stringent as the DCCSFO. Following review and
discussions, staff determined the BMP section of the DCCSFO will require an update. This revision is being
discussed and evaluated with cooperation from co-permitee agencies.
A subgroup to the DuPage County Municipal Engineers group was created to provide technical assistance and
guidance materials. This subgroup generated sample specifications for a dry well, permeable paver system,
and rain garden which has been made available online. The samples are used as a template for the design of
these practices on residential properties. The group continues developing inspection checklists for long term
maintenance and monitoring.
E3. Long Term O&M Procedures
Goal:
The Countywide Ordinance requires site runoff storage facilities to be put into an easement. All Post
Construction BMPs with a tributary area greater than one (1) acre require a three-year maintenance and
monitoring period. Require and accept easements over site runoff storage facilities and maintenance and
monitoring periods for BMPs with a tributary area of one acre or more.
Milestone:
Continue to enforce easements and maintenance/ monitoring periods as required in the Countywide
Stormwater Ordinance.
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
53
2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Status:
Under the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance , co-permitee villages and cities
may elect to review and inspect development sites or they may elect to defer oversight to DuPage County.
Each co-permitee that issued development permits required easements over site runoff storage facilities and
required three-year maintenance and monitoring periods for BMPs on sites with a tributary area of over one
acre (and in many cases all size developments) to minimize the discharge of pollutants into waterways.
Records are kept within each regulatory agency office.
E4. Pre-Construction Review of BMP Designs
Goal:
The DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance requires developments to provide post
construction BMPs when impervious cover thresholds exceed 2500 square feet. The DuPage County BMP
Manual provides guidance on the design and implementation of development practices that prevent
stormwater quality degradation and enhance the overall quality of stormwater. The BMP Manual promotes
and gives guidance on the installation of vegetated filter strips, vegetated swales, infiltration systems,
permeable pavers, manufactured structures, and stormwater detention BMPs such as dry detention basins,
wet detention basins, constructed wetland detention basins, and underground detention basins.
Milestone:
Review site development plans for compliance with the BMP sections of the Ordinance and document number
of reviews
Status:
Under the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance , co-permitee villages and cities
may elect to review and inspect development sites or they may elect to defer oversight to DuPage County.
Current waiver status is shown in the table in Section D.2. Each co-permitee that issued development permits
required post construction BMPs on sites when impervious cover thresholds exceeded 2500 square feet (or
less in some communities). Permit records are kept within each reviewing agency.
E5. Site Inspections During Construction
Goal:
DuPage County Stormwater provides annual training opportunities for all co-permitee staff and contractors to
ensure that all employees and contractors who manage or are directly involved in routine maintenance, repair,
or replacement of public surfaces in current green infrastructure or low impact design techniques applicable to
such projects to ensure that they are able to identify proper BMP installation during construction. Each co-
permitee shall keep internal records of staff and contractor training.

2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Public Roads Deicing Workshops were held on September 30, October 5, and October 12, 2021. Fortin
Consulting, Inc. from Minnesota was engaged to present the material. A registration fee was required per
agency in order to view the webinar. The links were sharable so the webinars could be viewed individually or
in groups. A survey was provided at the end of each webinar to those who had signed in asking for the number
of attendees from each agency and for an evaluation of the webinar. The survey results indicated that a
minimum of 743 persons (from all above listed watershed areas) attended the three Public Roads webinars.
Certificates of attendance were provided to those who requested them. A link to the Minnesota Snow and Ice
Control: Field Book for Snowplow Operators was provided to each registrant.
The Parking Lots and Sidewalks Deicing Workshop webinars were held on September 28 and October 7, 2021
with Fortin Consulting, Inc. presenting. The survey results indicated that there was a minimum of 196 persons
who viewed the webinars. Certificates of attendance were provided to those who requested them. The
surveys provided an opportunity to provide an evaluation on the webinars. A link was sent to each registrant
for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Winter Parking Lot & Sidewalk Maintenance Manual.
In order to provide more targeted training, four additional workshops were held. DuPage County DOT hosted
an in-person Calibration Workshop on Nov. 19, 2021. The demonstration was on a Force Am truck outfitted
with a spreader system with digital controls and an open loop system. Calibration was shown for dry rock salt,
wetted salt and liquids. Fourteen persons from eight agencies attended. The three other technical workshops
which were presented virtually focused on more detailed information than presented in the general deicing
workshops. The topics were More about Brine Making (13 agencies attended), Snow and Ice Removal Plans
and Communication (14 agencies attended) and Using Organics (11 agencies attended). The recordings of the
virtual technical workshops are posted on www.saltsmart.org.
F2. Inspection and Maintenance Program
Goal:
DCSM provides guidance materials on good housekeeping for municipal operations. Each co-permitee has
developed specific inspection and maintenance procedures for equipment and facilities. Each co-permitee is
responsible for ensuring that equipment and facilities are inspected and maintained during day-to-day
operations to minimize discharge of pollutants into Waters of the State.
Milestone:
Continue good housekeeping program of inspection and maintenance of equipment and facilities related to the
prevention of pollution in stormwater.
Status:
Co-permitees oversaw their day-to-day activities in accordance with best practices to minimize pollutants into
waterways. Records are kept internally within each office and are available upon request. DCSM created a
Quarterly Facility Inspection Checklist and distributed to all co-permitees for use in these inspections.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNJULlrP8b4
F4. Municipal Operations Waste Disposal
Goal:
Following storm sewer maintenance and cleanout activities, waste must be properly disposed of. DuPage
County Public Works offers a Regional Vactor Receiving Station. The station is part of a shared services
initiative. It reduces the cost of disposal of public works waste and aims to keep pollutants out of area water
supplies. The station processes the debris collected by public works and transportation vacuum tanker trucks.
The waste is then separated into liquids and solids. The liquids are treated through the county’s waste water
treatment facility, while the solids are dried and eventually transferred to the garbage dump.
Milestone:
Co-permitees shall properly dispose of waste generated from storm sewer maintenance and cleanout. Continue
to offer disposal facilities such as the Regional Vactor Receiving Station.
Status:
During the reporting year, co-permitees continued current practices to properly dispose of waste generated
from storm sewer maintenance and cleanout. DuPage County continued to offer disposal facilities such as the
Regional Vactor Receiving Station.

2021-2022 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
The DRSCW has attempted to track adoption of sensible salting BMPs in the program area since 2007.
Monitoring ambient chloride concentrations has proven an imperfect metric for tracking efficiency trends in
winter salt use. Tracking target BMP adoption in the program area provides opportunities to evaluate the
impacts of the chloride management workshops, identify material for future workshops, and form
suppositions about salt use per unit of service expended inside the program area relative to 2006 levels.
In 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 the DRSCW distributed a questionnaire to approximately 80
municipal highway operations and public works agencies to obtain information about deicing practices
throughout the program area. Findings of the 2018 questionnaire were include in the 2018 Annual Report. A
new questionnaire was due to be distributed in 2021 but was withheld as agencies were already involved in
completing the leaf litter questionnaire. The chloride questionnaire is being prepared for release in 2022 and
the results will be supplied in the 2022-2023 MS4 Activities Report.

Chloride Questionnaires
The DRSCW has attempted to track adoption of sensible salting BMPs in the program area since
2007. Monitoring ambient chloride concentrations has proven an imperfect metric for tracking
efficiency trends in winter salt use. Tracking target BMP adoption in the program area provides
opportunities to evaluate the impacts of the chloride management workshops, identify material
for future workshops, and form suppositions about salt use per unit of service expended inside
the program area relative to 2006 levels.
In 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 the DRSCW distributed a questionnaire to
approximately 80 municipal highway operations and public works agencies to obtain
information about deicing practices throughout the program area. Findings of the 2018
questionnaire were include in the 2018 Annual Report. A new questionnaire was due to be
distributed in 2021 but was withheld as agencies were already involved in completing the leaf
litter questionnaire. The chloride questionnaire is being prepared for release at the end of April
2022 and the results will be supplied in the 2022 MS4 Activities Report.
Chloride Reduction Workshops
During the reporting period March 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, five (5) chloride reduction
workshops, a calibration workshop, and three (3) technical webinar briefs were held. Due to
precautions necessitated by the Coronavirus pandemic, the workshops were held in a webinar
format allowing the groups to collaborate and host the workshops jointly. The workgroup staff
for the DRSCW, LDRWC, Lower Des Plains Watershed Group (LDWG) collaborated with staff
from Lake County DOT and Health Dept. to coordinate the workshops. Registration was made
available to agencies over a wide area of northeastern Illinois resulting in staff attending from
DuPage, Will, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Cook, Boone, Lee, and Winnebago counties. A list
of attendees of the Public Roads Deicing Workshop (by County) is included in Attachment 1 and
attendees of the Parking Lots & Sidewalks Deicing Workshop (by County) is included in
Attachment 2.
Public Roads Deicing Workshops were held on September 30, October 5, and October 12, 2021.
Fortin Consulting, Inc. from Minnesota was engaged to present the material. A registration fee
was required per agency in order to view the webinar. The links were sharable so the webinars
could be viewed individually or in groups. A survey was provided at the end of each webinar to
those who had signed in asking for the number of attendees from each agency and for an
evaluation of the webinar. The survey results indicated that a minimum of 743 persons
attended the three Public Roads webinars. Certificates of attendance were provided to those
who requested them. A link to the Minnesota Snow and Ice Control: Field Book for Snowplow
Operators was provided to each registrant.
The Parking Lots and Sidewalks Deicing Workshop webinars were held on September 28 and
October 7, 2021 with Fortin Consulting, Inc. presenting. The survey results indicated that there
was a minimum of 196 persons who viewed the webinars. Certificates of attendance were
provided to those who requested them. The surveys provided an opportunity to provide an
evaluation on the webinars. A link was sent to each registrant for the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency Winter Parking Lot & Sidewalk Maintenance Manual.
In order to provide more targeted training, four additional workshops were held. DuPage
County DOT hosted an in-person Calibration Workshop on Nov. 19, 2021. The demonstration
was on a Force Am truck outfitted with a spreader system with digital controls and an open
loop system. Calibration was shown for dry rock salt, wetted salt and liquids. Fourteen persons
from eight agencies attended. The three other technical workshops which were presented
virtually focused on more detailed information than presented in the general deicing
workshops. The topics were More about Brine Making (13 agencies attended), Snow and Ice
Removal Plans and Communication (14 agencies attended), and Using Organics (11 agencies
attended). The recordings of the virtual technical workshops are posted on www.saltsmart.org.
Ambient Impact Monitoring
DRSCW’s Chloride Education and Reduction Program is performing an analysis to demonstrate
any observable reduction in chloride loading within the water quality data collected since the
beginning of program efforts. For over a decade, the program has been implementing a number
of chloride reduction efforts, including:
• Annual Educational workshops (for public roads and parking lots/sidewalks)
• Equipment calibration training
• Product and chemical alternative summaries
• Equipment and salt application advancements
• Salt usage, storage and deicing best management practices
• Example salt use policies and management plans
The goal of the analysis is to observe the impact, if any, of the chloride education program on
chloride loadings generated from DRSCW water quality data collected from 2009 to present.
While the winter concentration data graphed in section 2.2 suggests a long-term downward
trend in winter concentrations, this analysis is an attempt to produce a more comprehensive
appraisal of long term trends in chlorides in area waterways.
The analysis is challenging. There are number of factors that dictate the magnitude of chloride
impact on water quality data. Principally variability in winter weather accounted for variation
in temperatures (air and pavement), types of precipitation (rain, snow and ice), the number of
storms, types of storms and inconsistencies in the definition of municipal salt application events
across the DRSCW’s watershed areas. The analysis needed to account for this inherent
variability to as great a degree as possible. To help accomplish this the DRSCW purchased 10
years of weather data (snow and ice precipitation data for numerous locations and max and
minimum air temperature data) from Weather Command / Murray and Trettel, Inc. The
analysis steps for each site where winter monitoring is conducted (see Section 2.3) include:
• Calculation of estimated chloride concentration from winter conductivity data
• Calculation of a warm weather regression value from summer concentration data and
summer conductivity measures
• Calculation of estimated chloride summer concentrations
• Creation of loading data (in pound per day) from the estimated concentration data using
USGS flow data
• Identification of ice events from the weather command data and “replacement” of such
events with loadings observed under snow events with the same accumulation
• Graphing of loading and concentration data for each site
This analysis has been completed and phase one results have been produced. Preparation of
the final report is on-going and is expected to be completed by mid-2022.
Continuous Chloride Monitoring
When chlorides are present in elevated concentrations in rivers, they harm aquatic
invertebrates, fish, and aquatic and terrestrial plants. High chloride concentrations also corrode
structures like bridges, increasing maintenance costs; and chlorides are very difficult to remove
from water through treatment. In the DRSCW and LDRWC watersheds, the main source of
chlorides in the rivers is from winter deicing applications. In an effort to understand and reduce
chloride levels in the watershed, year-round conductivity monitoring is carried out.
Ambient monitoring of conductivity is carried out at six (6) locations in the DRSCW program
area (5 sites monitored by the DRSCW and 1 site monitored by MWRD). A map of continuous
chloride monitoring stations is included in Map 1. DRSCW chloride sites are positioned
upstream and downstream in their watersheds to capture concentration data within the
watershed. Long term data collection allows the DRSCW to monitor changes in chloride
concentrations over time. As the main driver of chloride in these watersheds is from deicing
applications in the winter, the DRSCW are able to monitor the efficacy of outreach campaigns
and projects aimed at reducing chloride in the waterways. Year round monitoring shows how
chloride levels change throughout the year. Chloride concentrations spike in the winter months,
and gradually decrease throughout the spring, summer and fall. The greatest challenge in
chloride reduction is maintaining road safety.
The upstream Salt Creek chloride site (Busse Woods) is at the upstream most point of the
Lower Salt Creek watershed. The site isn’t placed further upstream as there are no treatment
plants in the Upper Salt Creek watershed and the original purpose of the site was to monitor for
wastewater effluent impacts. In 2021, MWRD did not conduct ambient winter conductivity
monitoring at the Salt Creek at Busse Woods Main Dam (Upstream Salt Creek Site). As of
winter, 2022 DRSCW has taken over management of the site at Salt Creek Busse Woods Main
Dam.
For the sites located within the DRSCW watersheds, conductivity concentrations are used to
calculate chloride concentrations based on a linear relationship established by the DRSCW in
2007 and 2019. Calculated Annual chloride concentrations for the winter months from 2007-
2021 for six (6) sites are depicted in Figures 1-6. Years are broken up by continuous winter
season, e.g. the point labeled as “2021” is comprised of data from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021. The
Daily Max represents the highest chloride daily value calculated from that year’s winter season.
The Winter Average is the average of all measurements from the winter season. The Four-Day
Average is the maximum value of the year’s four-day averages.

PART V. MONITORING, RECORDKEEPING, AND REPORTING
A. Monitoring
The ILR40 permit states that permit holders “must develop and implement a monitoring and
assessment program to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs being implemented to reduce
pollutant loadings and water quality impacts”. The DRSCW monitoring program meets the
following monitoring objectives and requirements outlined in the permit:
• Measuring pollutants over time (Part V. A. 2. b. ii)
• Sediment monitoring (Part V. A. 2. b. iii)
• Assessing physical and habitat characteristics such as stream bank erosion caused by
storm water discharges ((Part V. A. 2. b. vi)
• Collaborative watershed-scape monitoring (Part V. A. 2. b. x)
• Ambient monitoring of total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, fecal
coliform, chlorides, and oil and grease (Part V. A. 2. c.)
The DRSCW water quality monitoring program is made up of four components: 1)
Bioassessment; 2) Continuous DO monitoring; 3) Expanded DO monitoring, and 3) Continuous
Chloride Monitoring. Components 1-3 are discussed below and component 4 was discussed in
the previous section of this report.
BIOASSESSMENT
Overview and Sampling Plan
A biological and water quality survey, or “biosurvey”, is an interdisciplinary monitoring effort
coordinated on a waterbody specific or watershed scale. This may involve a relatively simple
setting focusing on one or two small streams, one or two principal stressors, and a handful of
sampling sites or a much more complex effort including entire drainage basins, multiple and
overlapping stressors, and tens of sites. The DRSCW bioassessment is the latter. The DRSCW
bioassessment program began in 2007 with sampling in the West Branch DuPage River, East
Branch DuPage River and Salt Creek watersheds. From 2009-2016, each watershed was sampled
on a 3-year rotation beginning with the West Branch DuPage River watershed in 2006. Beginning
in 2017, watershed will be sampled in a 4 or 5-year rotation ensuring that each watershed will be
sampled during the effective period of the ILR40 permit. The bioassessment program functions
under a quality assurance plan agreed on with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(http://drscw.org/wp/bioassessment/). Table 1 details the bioassessment sampling dates for
each DRSCW watershed.

The DRSCW bioassessment program utilizes standardized biological, chemical, and physical
monitoring and assessment techniques employed to meet three major objectives:
1) determine the extent to which biological assemblages are impaired (using IEPA
guidelines);
2) determine the categorical stressors and sources that are associated with those
impairments; and,
3) add to the broader databases for the DuPage River and Salt Creek watersheds to
track and understand changes through time in response to abatement actions or
other influences.
The data collects as part of the bioassessment is processed, evaluated, and synthesized as a
biological and water quality assessment of aquatic life use status. The assessments are directly
comparable to previously conducted bioassessments such that trends in status can be examined
and causes and sources of impairment can be confirmed, amended, or removed. A final report
containing a summary of major findings and recommendations for future monitoring, follow-up
investigations, and any immediate actions that are needed to resolve readily diagnosed
impairments is prepared following each bioassessment. The bioassessment reports are posted
on the DRSCW at http://drscw.org/wp/bioassessment/. It is not the role of the bioassessments
to identify specific remedial actions on a site specific or watershed basis. However, the baseline
data provided by the bioassessments contributes to the Integrated Priority System that was
developed to help determine and prioritize remedial projects (http://drscw.org/wp/project-
identification-and-prioritization-system/).
Sampling sites for the bioassessment were determined systematically using a geometric design
supplemented by the bracketing of features likely to exude an influence over stream resource
quality, such as CSOs, dams and wastewater outfalls. The geometric site selection process starts
at the downstream terminus or “pour point” of the watershed (Level 1 site), then continues by
deriving each subsequent “panel” at descending intervals of one-half the drainage area (D.A.) of
the preceding level. Thus, the drainage area of each successive level decreases geometrically.
This results in in seven drainage area levels in each of the three watersheds, starting at the largest
(150 sq. mi) and continuing through successive panels of 75, 38, 19, 9, 5 and 2 sq. mi. Targeted
sites are then added to fill gaps left by the geometric design and assure complete spatial coverage
in order to capture all significant pollution gradients including reaches that are impacted by
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), major stormwater sources, combined sewer overflows
(CSOs) and dams. The number of sampling sites by method/protocol and watershed are listed in
Table 2.
Representativeness – Reference Sites
Data is collected from selected regional reference sites in northeastern Illinois preferably to
include existing Illinois EPA and Illinois DNR reference sites, potentially being supplemented with
other sites that meet the Illinois EPA criteria for reference conditions. One purpose of this data
will be to index the biological methods used in this study that are different from Illinois EPA
and/or DNR to the reference condition and biological index calibration as defined by Illinois EPA.
In addition, the current Illinois EPA reference network does not yet include smaller headwater
streams, hence reference data is needed to accomplish an assessment of that data. Presently
thirteen (13) reference sites have been established.

*Includes eight (8) sites that were being monitored as part of pre-project monitoring at Fullersburg Woods and post-
project monitoring at the Preserve at Oak Meadows.
**Also included indicators or organic enrichment and ionic strength, total suspended solids (TSS), DO, pH and
temperature. Also, in 2019, 2020 and 2021, chlorophyll A was included as a nutrient parameter.
The bioassessment sampling includes four (4) sampling methods/protocols: biological sampling,
Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI), water column chemical/physical parameter
sampling and sediment chemistry. The biological sampling includes two assemblages: fish and
macroinvertebrates.
The Fish, Habitat and Water Chemistry sampling results presented in this report summarize the
findings for the mainstem reaches of Salt Creek including the 2021 data and macroinvertebrate
sampling for the sampling conducted in 2020 in the West Branch DuPage River. A map of the
2020 West Branch DuPage River bioassessment sites can be found in Map 2 and a map of the
2021 Salt Creek sampling sites can be found in Map 3. A list of the sites sampled as part of the
2021 Salt Creek bioassessment is included in Table 3. Table 3 includes the site name, site location,
and the type and frequency of each sampling method. Detailed analysis of all results for the East
Branch DuPage River, the West Branch DuPage River and Salt Creek and their tributaries and can
be found at http://drscw.org/wp/bioassessment/. Additionally, summaries of the findings for
the mainstem East Branch DuPage River and West Branch DuPage River can be found in the 2019
and 2020 DRSCW MS4 Activities Report.
The fish and macroinvertebrate results are presented as Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scores. IBI
is an evaluation of a waterbody’s biological community in a manner that allows the identification,
classification and ranking of water pollution and other stressors. IBIs allow the statistical
association of various anthropogenic influences on a water body with the observed biological
activity in said water body and in turn the evaluation of management interventions in a process
of adaptive management. Chemical testing of water samples produces only a snapshot of
chemical concentrations while an IBI allows an evaluation of the net impact of chemical, physical
and flow variables on a biological community structure. Dr. James Karr formulated the IBI
concept in 1981.
FISH
Methodology
Methods for the collection of fish at wadeable sites was performed using a tow-barge or longline
pulsed D.C. electrofishing apparatus (MBI 2006b). A Wisconsin DNR battery powered backpack
electrofishing unit was used as an alternative to the long line in the smallest streams (Ohio EPA
1989). A three-person crew carried out the sampling protocol for each type of wading equipment
sampling in an upstream direction. Sampling effort was indexed to linear distance and ranged
from 150-200 meters in length. Non-wadeable sites were sampled with a raft-mounted pulsed
D.C. electrofishing device in a downstream direction (MBI 2007). Sampling effort was indexed to
lineal distance over 0.5 km. Sampling was conducted during a June 15-October 15 seasonal index
period.
Samples from each site were processed by enumerating and recording weights by species and by
life stage (y-o-y, juvenile, and adult). All captured fish were immediately placed in a live well,
bucket, or live net for processing. Water was replaced and/or aerated regularly to maintain
adequate D.O. levels in the water and to minimize mortality. Fish not retained for voucher or
other purposes were released back into the water after they had been identified to species,
examined for external anomalies, and weighed either individually or in batches. While the
majority of captured fish were identified to species in the field, any uncertainty about the field
identification required their preservation for later laboratory identification. Identification was
made to the species level at a minimum and to the sub-specific level if necessary. Vouchers were
deposited and verified at The Ohio State University Museum of Biodiversity (OSUMB) in
Columbus, OH.

MACROINVERTEBRATES
Methodology
The macroinvertebrate assemblage is sampled using the Illinois EPA (IEPA) multi-habitat method
(IEPA 2005). Laboratory procedures followed the IEPA (2005) methodology for processing multi-
habitat samples by producing a 300-organism subsample with a scan and pre-pick of large and/or
rare taxa from a gridded tray. Taxonomic resolution is performed to the lowest practicable
resolution for the common macroinvertebrate assemblage groups such as mayflies, stoneflies,
caddisflies, midges, and crustaceans, which goes beyond the genus level requirement of IEPA
(2005). However, calculation of the macroinvertebrate IBI followed IEPA methods in using genera
as the lowest level of taxonomy for mIBI calculation and scoring.
2021 Salt Creek Results
Results from the 2021 macroinvertebrate sampling in the Salt Creek watershed are not
available at the time of the report. Sampling results will be provided in the 2022-2023 MS4
Activities Report.

Macroinvertebrate collections from the 2020 West Branch are in the primarily in the good and
fair ranges (Figure 8).
Figure 8. Macroinvertebrate IBI scores in the West Branch DuPage River, 2012, 2015, and 2020 in
relation to municipal POTW dischargers, tributaries, and dams.
HABITAT
Methodology
Physical habitat was evaluated using the Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) developed
by the Ohio EPA for streams and rivers in Ohio (Rankin 1989, 1995; Ohio EPA 2006b) and as
modified by MBI for specific attributes. Attributes of habitat are scored based on the overall
importance of each to the maintenance of viable, diverse, and functional aquatic faunas. The
type(s) and quality of substrates, amount and quality of instream cover, channel morphology,
extent and quality of riparian vegetation, pool, run, and riffle development and quality, and
gradient used to determine the QHEI score which generally ranges from 20 to less than 100. QHEI
scores and physical habitat attribute were recorded in conjunction with fish collections.
2021 Salt Creek Results
The physical habitat of a stream is a primary determinant of biological quality. Streams in the
glaciated Midwest, left in their natural state, typically possess riffle-pool-run sequences, high
sinuosity, and well-developed channels with deep pools, heterogeneous substrates and cover in
the form of woody debris, glacial tills, and aquatic macrophytes. The QHEI categorically scores
the basic components of stream habitat into ranks according to the degree to which those
components are found in a natural state, or conversely, in an altered or modified state.
Salt Creek
Based on QHEI scores, mainstem habitat quality fell mostly in the fair range, but varied by
location (Figure 9).
WATER QUALITY AND SEDIMENT CHEMISTRY
Methodology
Water column and sediment samples are collected as part of the DRSCW bioassessment
programs. Total number of collected samples by watershed typical for a full assessment by
watershed are given in Table 6. The number of samples collected at each site is largely a function
of the site’s drainage area with the frequency of sampling increasing as drainage size increases
(Table 7). Organics sampling is a single sample done at a subset of sites. Sediment sampling is
done at a subset of 136 sites using the same procedures as IEPA. Table 3 details the 2021 Salt
Creek Bioassessment sites and the frequency of sample at each site. Map 3 shows the location
of the sites within Salt Creek where water chemistry was collected. Map 4 shows the location of
the Salt Creek bioassessment sediment sampling sites.
The parameters sampled for are included in Table 6 and can be grouped into demand parameters,
nutrients, demand, metals and organics. All sampling occurs between May and October of the
sample year with the exception of sediment that occurs October to December. The Standard
Operating Procedure for water quality sampling can be found at
http://drscw.org/wp/bioassessment/.

2021 Salt Creek Results
The discussion presented below focuses on the constituents listed in the MS4 permit: total
suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, fecal coliform, chlorides, and oil and grease.
Total nitrogen is presented as ammonia, nitrate, and total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN). Prior to the
2016 sampling period, fecal coliform and oil and grease sampling was not conducted. Oil and
grease sampling and/or fecal coliform were added to the bioassessment sampling for Salt Creek
in 2016, the East Branch DuPage River in 2019, and the West Branch DuPage River in 2020
ensuring that each watershed will be sampled for that parameter during the effective period of
the ILR40 permit.
West Branch mainstem flows are effluent dominated during the late summer-early fall months.
As such, chemical water quality is highly influenced by the concentration and composition of
chemical constituents in WWTP effluents (Figures 10-12).
In 2021, samples for fecal coliform samples were collected at five (5) sites on the mainstem Salt
Creek, one (1) site on Springbrook, and one (1) sites on Addison Creek. Each site was sampled 5
times within a 30-day period beginning on June 28, 2022. The results are summarized below in
Table 9.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN (DO) MONITORING
Background and Methodology
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) report, Illinois 2004 Section 303(d) List, listed
dissolved oxygen (DO) as a potential impairment in Salt Creek, and the East and West Branches
of the DuPage River. The report suggested that the DO levels in selected reaches of these
waterways might periodically fall to levels below those required by healthy aquatic communities.
All rivers and creeks in DuPage County are classified as General Use Waters. The present water
quality standards for dissolved oxygen in General Use Waters is:
1. During the period of March through July
a. 5.0 mg/L at any time; and
b. 6.0 mg/L as a daily mean averaged over 7 days.
2. During the period of August through February,
a. 3.5 mg/L at any time;
b. 4.0 mg/L as a daily minimum averaged over 7 days; and
c. 5.5 mg/L as a daily mean averaged over 30 days.
Following listing on the 303 (d) list three (3) TMDLs were prepared by the IEPA for Salt Creek and
the East Branch of the DuPage River in 2004 and two (2) TMDLs were prepared for the West
Branch DuPage River and Spring Brook #1 in 2019. In response to the TMDLs, the DRSCW
committed to develop and manage a continuous long-term DO monitoring plan for the project
area in order to assess the nature and extent of the DO impairment and to allow the design of
remedial projects. The continuous DO data is also used to assess the impact of DO improvement
projects such as the Churchill Woods and Oak Meadow dam removals.
In 2021, the DRSCW in collaboration with DuPage County Stormwater Management gathered
continuous DO data via water quality sondes at three (3) sites on Salt Creek (SCBW, SCOM,
SCFW), four (4) sites on the East Branch DuPage River (EBAR, EBCB, EBHR, EBWL), and five (5)
sites on the West Branch DuPage River (WBAD, WBBR, WBWD, WBMG, WBNPV) that will be
utilized in the calibration and verification of the updated QUAL2Kw models. Historically, the
DRSCW also collected data at an additional site on the East Branch DuPage River at Hidden Lake
(EBHL), however, in 2021 the bridge where the sonde is located was undergoing repairs and the
sonde casing needed to be removed. The DRSCW plans to reestablish a monitoring location in
Hidden Lake once the construction/repair project is complete. The Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) also typically monitors two (2) additional
locations on Salt Creek: Salt Creek at Wolf Road and Salt Creek downstream of Busse Woods
dam. However, in 2021, MWRDGC discontinued their monitoring at the Salt Creek downstream
of Busse Woods dam and as such, no data was collected at this location in 2021. The DRSCW
has re-established the Salt Creek downstream of Busse Woods dam and data collection
resumed in 2022. All sondes are deployed from May through October and collected DO,
temperature, conductivity, and pH on an hourly basis. The continuous DO monitoring program
functions under a quality assurance plan agreed on with the IEPA
(http://drscw.org/wp/dissolved-oxygen/). Details on the site location are included in Table 10
and site locations for 2021 are included on Map 5.
Starting in October of 2021, the DRSCW will be extending the continuous DO monitoring to year
round monitoring at all sites where the sonde is placed in a casing that is bridge-mounted. This
includes two (2) sites on each of the three mainstem rivers: Salt Creek, East Branch DuPage
River, and West Branch DuPage River.

EXPANDED DO MONITORING
In 2019, the DRSCW began their expanded DO Monitoring Program as a means to collect
additional data to support the calibration/validation of the QUAL2Kw models and to support
the development of the NIP. This program is coordinated with the Bioassessment Program (see
Table 11 for schedule). Sites sampled in the Salt Creek watershed in 2021 are included in Table
12 and shown on Map 6.
Table 11. Schedule for Expanded DO Monitoring
Basin Year of Expanded DO Monitoring
East Branch DuPage River 2019
West Branch DuPage River 2020
Salt Creek 2021
The sampling period for the Expanded DO Monitoring Project is late June to the end of August
in dry and low flow conditions (no rain a minimum of 72 hours prior to sampling). Sondes are
deployed in the channel thalweg for a minimum of 72 hours, where they collect data on
dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, conductivity, turbidity, and chlorophyll a at 15-minute
intervals.
Composite water quality samples and sestonic algae sampling were collected once during the
sonde deployment using the sampling technique described in the IEPA Standard Operating
Procedure for Stream Water Quality Sample Monitoring (DCN184). Samples were analyzed for
the constituents listed in Table 13. One (1) benthic algae sample was collected at each site.
