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 - permittee is responsible for making educational materials available in their of fice 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-permittees. Status: During the reporting year, 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-permittees. They can be found at: https://twitter.com/DuPageSWM , https://www.facebook.com/DuPageSWM , and https://www.instagram.com/dupageswm/ • DuPage County’s 2022 Annual Report (Annual Report on the Stormwater Management Department including flood control, shared services, permitting, and water quality): https://www.dupagecounty.gov/swm/ • All webinars hosted during the reporting year recorded and posted to: https://www.youtube.com/@DuPageSWM DCSM and co-permittees share these and other educational materials through distribution at events, in offices, on websites, through social media, and newsletters.

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 qual ity 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-permittee 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: Virtual format for many events continues in the 2022-2023 reporting year. However, in person events increased from the previous year.

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 DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 37 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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.

The DuPage County Stormwater Management Planning Committee is comprised of DuPage County Board Members and Municipal/ Community Members. At the beginning of each meeting, there is a public comment period which allows members of the public to provide input on the County’s Stormwater program. The following Stormwater Management Planning Committee meetings were held during the reporting year: ▪ March 1, 2022 ▪ April 5, 2022 ▪ May 3, 2022 ▪ June 7, 2022 ▪ August 2, 2022 ▪ September 6, 2022 ▪ October 4, 2022 ▪ November 1, 2022 ▪ December 6, 2022 ▪ January 3, 2023 ▪ February 7, 2023 Official minutes and agendas for all meetings can be found at: https://dupage.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 41 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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: DuPage County Municipal Engineers Discussion Group conducted a survey in order to plan future meeting agendas and format. The Municipal Engineers Discussion Group conducts monthly meetings with engineers and other representatives from DuPage County Municipalities as well as environmental and engineering consultants working in the area to facilitate discussion on stormwater topics. As Covid guidelines lessened, the group evaluated potential to hold meetings again in-person. The group decided to continue to hold most meetings virtually, but also have some in-person meetings throughout the year. Additionally, an idea to hold occasional field trips was developed as a result of the survey. DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 42 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT C. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination C1. Storm Sewer Map Preparation Goal: Partner agencies provide a current storm sewer atlas to the DCSM. DCSM will collect, compile, and field verify storm sewer maps from partner agency data to create a comprehensive storm sewer atlas of the partnership area (the municipal limits of all participating MS4s). The partner agencies will provide the DCSM with annual updates of the storm sewer atlas. Milestone: Complete the storm sewer atlas for 85% 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. Currently, 85% of communities are mapped within the county’s GIS. The following updates were completed within the reporting year: Agency Date Illinois Tollway- Updated Data 2022 During the 2022 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 2022 on combining all data into a comprehensive layer. C2. Regulatory Control Program Goal: Each co-permittee 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 w ithin 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 DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 43 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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. 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 2022- 2023 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: Review priority outfalls countywide. Status: Priority outfalls reviewed and field verified. Priority outfalls within each watershed: Salt Creek: 96 East Branch DuPage River: 147 West Branch DuPage River: 102 Des Plaines and Fox River: 7 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. DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 44 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT Milestone: Continue tracing illicit discharges in accordance with the DuPage County IDDE Technical Guidance Manual. Review and update the manual as needed. Status: DuPage County Stormwater Management staff monitored all priority outfalls within the county. Staff also responded to complaints regarding illicit discharges. Any suspected illicit discharges were traced to their source when applicable and removal of the discharge was completed through use of the IDDE Technical Guidance Manual protocols.

Illicit Source Removal Procedures Goal: The number of advertisements or promotions of the IDDE reporting phone line or Citizen Reporter App. Milestone: 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.dupagecounty.gov/government/departments/stormwater_management/water_quality/outreac h_materials.php From March 1, 2022, through February 28, 2023, a total of 22 reports were received through the Citizen Reporter App. Reports included observations on sediment, stream blockages, garbage, and other water quality 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 priority outfalls within co-permittee jurisdictional areas. Status: Priority outfalls from throughout the county were the focus for the 2022 season . 352 outfalls were visually inspected for illicit discharges. DuPage County staff continued using the ESRI Arc Collector app for outfall DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 48 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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 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 stem of Salt Creek and the East 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: None of the 352 outfalls monitored in 2022 were releasing a suspect discharge and sampled. Any outfalls with flow had no observable indication of illicit discharges, such as color, odor, turbidity, or floatables. Of the 147 outfalls monitored in the East Branch DuPage watershed, 7 had non -suspicious discharge. Of the 96 outfalls monitored in the Salt Creek watershed, 5 had non-suspicious discharge. Of the 102 outfalls monitored within the West Branch DuPage watershed, 7 had non-suspicious discharge. Finally, none of the 7 outfalls monitored within the Fox or Des Plaines watersheds had any discharge. 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. DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 49 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT Status: No large-scale release of pollutants into Waters of the State with potential health impacts occurred from the permit area during the monitoring year. DuPage County and co-permittees collaborated on response and notification to downstream communities during the following incidents: On May 11, 2022, DCSM was notified by DuPage County Office of Emergency Management of a release of diesel fuel caused by a train collision with a truck in Clarendon Hills. Fuel entered a storm sewer and was released into a tributary of Flagg Creek. Stormwater staff met IEPA onsite to assist with tracing and oversight of containment and remediation. Staff coordinated with communities to inspect storm sewer systems to determine the limit of downstream impacts. Downstream communities were notified of the event and collaborated on inspection of downstream areas to determine the limits of the spill. An environmental cleanup company was contracted to complete remediation. Staff inspected the site over several days to observe cleanup activity and reported findings back to IEPA. On January 19, 2023, DCSM staff received a report from the Village of Burr Ridge regarding a large amount of suds in Flagg Creek. Staff met onsite with Burr Ridge and tested the water to confir m the presence of detergents. Burr Ridge and County staff traced the discharge over a mile through the storm sewer system, but a specific source could not be identified. Concluded to be a one -time spill on the roadway. IEPA and downstream communities were notified of the incident. D. Construction Site Runoff Control D1. Regulatory Control Program Goal: Update the Ordinance as needed to ensure that sediment and erosion control provisions are up to date and reflect the current best practices 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-permittees 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. DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 50 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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-permittees 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 beyond the DuPage County limits may opt-in entirely to the DuPage County Stormwater Ordinance, opt -out into the neighboring county's regulations, or enforce both county's regulations. During the reporting year, each co-permittee that issued development permits required soil erosion and sediment control for 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.

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-permittee 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. 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 report s. 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-permittees 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. DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 53 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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 Ord inance, co-permittee 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-permittee 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. 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 DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 54 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT discussions, staff determined the BMP section of the DCCSFO will require an update. This revision is being discussed and evaluated with cooperation from co-permittee 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. The City of Warrenville enacted a Coal Tar Ban Ordinance on January 1, 2023. This bans use of coal tar sealants on asphalt surfaces in the Village. This Ordinance will help to improve the water quality in s treams by eliminating this source of urban pollutants from developed areas within the Village limits. 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. Status: Under the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Flood Plain Ordinance, co-permittee villages and cities may elect to review and inspect development sites, or they may elect to defer oversight to DuPage County. Each co-permittee 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 DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 55 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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-permittee 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-permittee 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 -permittee 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- permittee shall keep internal records of staff and contractor training. Milestone: Appropriate staff and contractors of each co-permittee shall attend training on green infrastructure and low impact design. Status: Green Infrastructure Maintenance training was moved to a virtual format starting in 2020 due to Covid-19 social distancing guidelines.

Inspection and Maintenance Program Goal: DCSM provides guidance materials on good housekeeping for municipal operations. Each co -permittee has developed specific inspection and maintenance procedures for equipment and facilities. Each co-permittee 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 eq uipment and facilities related to the prevention of pollution in stormwater. DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 60 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT Status: Co-permittees 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-permittees for use in these inspections. F3. Municipal Operations, Stormwater Control Goal: Co-permittees have each developed their own schedules for street sweeping as well as storm sewer inspection, clean-out, and maintenance. A standard minimum schedule will be developed for partner agencies. Milestone: Evaluate street sweeping, storm sewer inspection, clean-out, and maintenance schedules. Review MS4 procedures to identify areas for improvement. Status: A street sweeping and leaf litter practices survey was cond ucted by the DRSCW in April 2021. The survey received 55 responses from municipalities, township and agencies. Additionally, a storm sewer maintenance survey was conducted by DCSM in January and February 2022 and received 34 responses from municipalities and townships. In the 2022- 2023 reporting year, staff evaluated responses to the storm sewer maintenance survey and street sweeping survey. A baseline of current practices was established. In the 2023 -2024 reporting year, DCSM will begin working to develop best management practices and recommendations to share with MS4s. These practices will be focused on reducing pollutant loadings and maintaining flow and functionality of stormwater infrastructure. DuPage County Stormwater maintains educational videos for MS4 staff on Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Maintenance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv3Hvb1sNhM 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. Du Page County Public Works offers a Regional Vactor Receiving Station. The station is part of a shared services DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502 61 2022-2023 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT 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 wastewater treatment facility, while the solids are dried and eventually transferred to the garbage dump. Milestone: Co-permittees 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-permittees continued current practices to properly dispose of waste generated from storm sewer maintenance and cleanout.

Other Municipal Operations Controls Goal: Evaluate and encourage pre-wetting and anti-icing measures to reduce chloride runoff into waterways from roads and public surfaces. Deployment and use of pre-wetting and anti-icing measures. Milestone: Evaluate existing pre-wetting and anti-icing practices. Status: The DRSCW has attempted to track adoption of sensible salting BMPs in the program area since 2007. This is done as ambient chloride concentration monitoring; and while the ultimate indicator of success, it has proven an imperfect metric for tracking efficiency trends in winter salt use. Tracking target BMP adoption in the program area allows the DRSCW to evaluate the success of the chloride management workshops. Historically the public roads and parking lots/sidewalks workshops have covered the following practices: • Winter Weather tracking and planning • Behavior of commonly used deicing compounds • Product and chemical alternatives • Equipment calibration training • Application Rates • Equipment and salt application advancements • Salt usage, storage and deicing best management practices • Example salt use policies and management plans The questionnaires also help identify topics for future workshops, and form suppositions about salt use per unit of service expended inside the program area relative to 2006 levels. Questionnaires were distributed in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. They were sent to approximately 80 municipal highway operations and public works agencies. A new questionnaire was due to be distributed in 2022 but was not completed due to a need to rework elements of the questionnaire. It is now due to be issued in 2023.

The workgroup staff for the DRSCW, LDRWC, Lower Des Plains Watershed Group (LDWG) and Chicago Area Waterways Chloride Workgroup (CAWCW) 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 Boone, Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, and Winnebago Page |5 counties, as well as Milwaukee, WI. 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 27, October 5, October 6, and October 12, 2022. Staff from Bolton-Menk, Inc. (formerly at Fortin Consulting, Inc.) from Minnesota were engaged to present the material. A registration fee was required per agency in order to view the webinar. The links were shareable within an agency. 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 workshop. The survey results indicated that a minimum of 644 persons attended the four Public Roads workshops. 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 Lot and Sidewalk Deicing Workshop webinars were held on September 29 and October 11, 2022 with Bolton-Menk, Inc. presenting. The survey results indicated that there was a minimum of 262 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. Ambient Impact Monitoring DRSCW’s Chloride Education and Reduction Program has performed an in depth analysis to detect trends in chloride loading within the water quality data collected since the beginning of program efforts. The goal of the analysis is to gauge the impact, if any, of the chloride education program on chloride loadings and concentrations generated from DRSCW water quality data collected from 2009 to present. Such an analysis is challenging due to the influences of other variables that dictate the magnitude of chloride impact on water quality data, principally winter weather (see PLOTS). The analysis is 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) from Weather Command / Murray and Trettel, Inc. The analysis steps for each site where winter chloride concentration data was available was: • Calculation of estimated chloride concentration from winter conductivity data • Calculation of a warm weather regression value from summer concentration data and summer conductivity measures Page |6 • Calculation of estimated chloride summer concentrations • Creation of loading data (in pounds 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 mean concentrations (to control for the high variability caused by ice). • Graphing of loading and concentration data for each site This analysis has been completed and phase one results have been produced. The report is being finalized and will be complete by April 2023. 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 watersheds, the main source of elevated chlorides in the rivers is from winter deicing applications. In an effort to understand and track chloride levels in the watershed, year-round conductivity monitoring is carried out. Ambient monitoring of conductivity is carried out at six (6) locations. All conductivity sites were originally installed to collect continuous DO and are situated for that rather than chlorides. DRSCW chloride sites are positioned in the upper and lower sections of each watershed. The upstream Salt Creek chloride site (Busse Woods) is at the upstream most point of the Lower Salt Creek watershed (this site isn’t placed further upstream as it was selected to measure DO upstream of the watersheds POTWs). MWRD did not conduct ambient winter conductivity monitoring at the Salt Creek at Busse Woods site in 2021. The site was taken over by DRSCW for conductivity monitoring during the winter of 2022. Conductivity concentrations are used to calculate chloride concentrations based on a linear relationship established by the DRSCW. Calculated Annual chloride concentrations for the winter months from 2007-2021 for six (6) sites are depicted in Figure 1 to Figure 6, 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. Also shown are seasonal totals for winter snow and ice data. This data is generated from data supplied by a contract with Weather Command/ Murray and Trettel, Inc. The data is specific to the areas proximate to the Page |7 relative conductivity monitoring site. The weather data for the Naperville site on the southern West Branch has not yet been extracted and will be on the future graphics. Figure 1.

D. Sharing Responsibility This report outlines the activities conducted by the DRSCW on behalf of its’ members related to the implementation of the ILR40 permit. It is the responsibility of the individual ILR40 permit holders to utilize this information to fulfill the reporting requirements outlined in Part V.C. of the permit. E. Reviewing and Updating Stormwater Management Programs Not applicable to the work of the DRSCW. Page |11 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. Between 2017 and 2021, the watersheds were sampled on a 4 -year rotation. Starting in 2023, the watersheds will be sampled on a 5-year rotation. The sampling frequency will ensure 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. Page |12 Table 1. Bioassessment sampling dates for the DRSCW watershed Watershed Sampling Completed (year) Sampling Scheduled (year) East Branch DuPage River 2007, 2011, 2014, 2019 2023 West Branch DuPage River 2007, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2020 2025 Salt Creek 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2021 2027 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 collected 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 website 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 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 Page |13 (CSOs) and dams. The number of sampling sites by method/protocol and watershed are listed in Table 2. Table 2.

Also, in 2019, 2020 and 2021, chlorophyll A was included as a nutrient parameter. 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. 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. As no sampling was conducted in Summer 2022, the 2022 MS4 Activities Report does not contain updated Fish, Habitat and Water Chemistry. However, as the macroinvertebrate sampling results for Salt Creek (sampled in 2021) was not available at the time of the 2021 MS4 Activities report, this data is included in this report. A map of the 2021 Salt Creek sampling sites can be found in Page |14 Map 2. 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 Fish, Macroinvertebrates, Habitat and Water Chemistry for the mainstem East Branch DuPage River and West Branch DuPage River and summaries for Fish, Habitat and Water Chemistry Salt Creek can be found in the 2019, 2020, and 2021 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. 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 Macroinvertebrate communities sampled from the mainstem of Salt Creek revealed no clear longitudinal pattern (Figure 7) and mainly fall in the fair to poor ranges. There are four sites on the mainstem of Lower Salt Creek with mIBI scores in the good range: two (2) sites located immediately downstream of the Fullersburg Woods dam and two (2) sites within the Preserve at Oak Meadows restoration site. With the exception of one (1) site located on West Branch Salt Creek #5 (located within the Upper Salt Creek watershed) where a mIBI of 45.20 (good), scores in tributaries throughout the watershed in 2021 were in the poor to fair range.

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 two (2) DO TMDLs were prepared by the IEPA for Salt Creek and the East Branch of the DuPage River in 2004 and two (2) DO 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. Page |18 In 2022, the DRSCW in collaboration with DuPage County Stormwater Management gathered continuous DO data via water quality sondes at four (4) sites on Salt Creek (SCBW, SCOM, SCBR SCFW), five (5) sites on the East Branch DuPage River (EBAR, EBCB, EBHL, 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. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) also typically monitors one (1) additional location on Salt Creek. 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 6 and site locations for 2022 are included on Map 3. Results Results of the continuous DO monitoring conducted in the summer of 2022 is included in Figure 8 to Figure 22. Table 6. 2022 Continuous DO monitoring locations in the DRSCW watersheds in 2021.
