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. 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 twenty (20) homes were certified this year. Another thirty-seven (37) homes are in-
progress sites for certification in the Conservation @ Home program. This year Angelic Creations was certified
through the Conservation@Work program.
Rain Barrels
Six-hundred-ninety -one (691) rain barrels have been distributed throughout DuPage county since the start of
the rain barrel program. The rain barrel programs and promotions occurred in the following DuPage County
communities during the reporting year: Aurora (DuPage Co.), Bloomingdale, Downers Grove, Elmhurst,
Naperville, West Chicago, Westmont and Wheaton. 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 YouTube page and the Conservation Foundation website. DCSM also sponsors rain barrel
raffles at various events and watershed stakeholder meetings throughout the year.

B6. Program Involvement
Goal:
Develop and distribute surveys via an email list, webpage, and on social media to measure citizen views,
behaviors, and concerns pertaining to a variety of topics, including water quality, property management, and
residential pollutant control.
Milestone (Year 2):
Develop and disperse 1 survey per year.
Status:
Surveys were distributed to attendees of the following events:
Green Infrastructure Seminar Survey – December 2019
Pollution Prevention Seminar Survey – April 2019
DuPage County staff maintained 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/
From March 2019 through February 2020 a total of 18 reports were received through the Citizen Reporter
App. Reports included observations on stream erosion, stream blockage reports, illegal dumping, and
drainage/flooding concerns.

Section 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 (Year 2):
Complete the storm sewer atlas for 60% 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. The following updates were
completed within the reporting year:
Agency Date
Carol Stream - updated data 4/25/19
DuDOT Des Plaines - updated data 4/25/19
Naperville - updated data 7/23/19
Lemont- Data was converted from CAD to GIS and updated 2019
During the 2019-2020 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 2019 on combining all data into a comprehensive layer.

C3. Detection/Elimination Prioritization Plan
Goal:
Compile information pertaining to the ten-step prioritization plan identified in the DuPage County IDDE
Program Technical Guidance.
Milestone (Year 2):
Complete West Branch 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 West Branch DuPage River watershed was scheduled for outfall monitoring in 2019, outfall
prioritization was completed for the West Branch 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
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 WB_Stream_Miles GIS layer to be within the stream.
Number of outfalls per stream mile (≥30) came to 87 priority outfalls.
The subbasin illicit discharge factors selected for inclusion were land use and high nutrients. 56 subbasins
contain at least 50% industrially zoned land use, which resulted in 62 priority outfalls. We included outfalls
located in areas of high nutrients, dissolved materials, or heavy metals not associated with POTWs as listed in
the “2012 Biological and Water Quality Study of the West Branch DuPage River Watershed” by Midwest
Biodiversity Institute Center for Applied Bioassessment & Biocriteria. Those outfalls in the high nutrient areas
and within 20ft of the stream were included. However, we excluded sample locations with Phosphorous
exceedances only, as Phosphorous is high throughout the watershed. This accounted for 32 new priority
outfalls.
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
44
2019 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
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 West Branch Watershed,
we created 500 ft buffers surrounding the complaint locations and prioritized any outfalls within the buffer,
which accounted for an additional 9 priority outfalls.
The county’s Stormwater Management Department monitors and documents the quality of the water leaving
the county campus. As such, all campus outfalls were designated as priority. This added 20 priority outfalls.
Unresolved Areas of Concern within the West Branch 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 one additional priority outfall.
A motor oil discharge occurred in a pond at LaSalle Ave and Bond Street in Naperville in early 2016. We
selected all the outfalls located in the pond as priority outfalls to continue more intensive monitoring. This
provided an additional 8 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 219 priority outfalls out of a total of 1,820 MS4
outfalls in the West Branch DuPage River Watershed.

C5. Illicit Source Removal Procedures
Goal:
Distribute educational materials pertaining to illicit discharges to DuPage County residents and businesses.
DuPage County maintains a partnership area-wide Illicit Discharge Detections and Elimination Hotline as well
as an online Citizen Reporter Application, where the public is able to report suspect discharges in addition to
other water quality concerns, such as erosion or stream blockages. Publications and notices advertising these
resources are created, updated, and distributed.
Milestone (Year 2):
Advertise or promote the IDDE Hotline or Citizen Reporter App 5 times through publications, notices, and
events.
Status:
County staff has created 22 brochures and flyers for distribution as discussed earlier in the education and
outreach section of this report. 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:

2019 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
C7. Visual Dry Weather Screening
Goal:
Perform the visual screening of MS4 outfalls discharging to Waters of the State during dry-weather conditions.
Milestone (Year2):
Inspect, during dry weather, all known outfalls within the West Branch DuPage River watershed that fall within
the partnership area. Additionally, priority outfalls will be inspected.
Status:
The West Branch of the DuPage River was the target watershed for the 2019/20 monitoring season. 1,820
outfalls were visually inspected for illicit discharges within the West Branch. While inspecting the outfall sites,
we determined several of the pipes were not actually outfalls, but were daylighting of streams, sump pump
pipes, or some other non-MS4 use. Therefore, of the 1,820 sites inspected, only 1,204 were determined to be
actual outfalls. Additionally, all 151 East Branch 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 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.
Starting in 2019, kayaks increased outfall monitoring efficiency along the main stem of the 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.
Additional IDDE inspections conducted by Co-Permitees

2019 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Public Works, Engineering & DuPage County Stormwater
investigated 6 potential IDDE’s:
Request ID 34438 / 2019-04-03 / 485 E Lies Rd: Engineering
was contacted by FIC America regarding an oil sheen on the
retention pond at the northwest corner of Lies Road and
Schmale Road. With assistance from DuPage County staff, it
was determined that the likely source was from the prime coat
added to Lies Road by the Village’s contractor earlier that
morning. The contractor was notified of the issue and placed
additional booms at another outfall that was affected. No
further enforcement action was taken.
Request ID 34437 / 2019-05-16 / 485 E Lies Rd: Engineering
was notified by FIC America of an oil sheen on the Carol Point
Northeast retention. The investigation concluded that the
likely source was the asphalt prime coat applied by the
Village’s contractor for the Lies Road Rehabilitation Project had
washed off with the rainfall. Public Works deployed several
booms to help contain the oil. The contractor was contacted
and directed to deploy additional booms at another outfall.
Request ID 27130 / 2019-05-16 / 485 Lies Rd: DuPage County
Stormwater notified staff of a minor oil sheen in the storm
sewers at FIC America. The property owner was sent a
courtesy notification and they responded that they would
clean-up the area and continue monitoring as part of their
SWPPP.
Request ID 27007 / 2019-05-21 / 450 Kehoe Blvd: Public Works
staff noticed a milky white substance in the stream adjacent to
Kehoe Blvd and traced it to expired milk that had been
disposed in the dumpster. An enforcement letter was sent to
the responsible firm and a response was received confirming
the required actions were taken.
Request ID 27245 / 2019-07-22 / 245 E Fullerton Ave: Police
requested that Public Works confirm that no IDDE was caused
by an accident on private property. Public Works confirmed
that the clean-up efforts by the Carol Stream Fire Department
prevented any oil from entering the MS4.
Request ID 27575 / 2019-07-10 / 1251 N Gary Ave: DuPage
County Stormwater notified Engineering of a soapy discharge
discharging into Klein Creek. Public Works traced it to the Jet
Brite car wash’s pre-cleaning stations where soapy water was
being emptied into the nearby storm sewer. The manager

developments increasing impervious area by 2,500 square feet or more to include Post Construction Best
Management Practices.
Milestone (Year 2):
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. 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) was reviewed in 2016 to
determine if updates were needed in order to comply with the updated ILR40 permit. 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. Staff continues with the review of the ILR40 and the DCCSFO (last updated in May
2019) to comply with additional requirements included with the 2016 revisions to the ILR40 permit (2016).
Review and discussions continued into this reporting year. 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

Westmont
The Village of Westmont is responsible for the care and upkeep of the general facilities,
municipal roads, and associated maintenance yards. Many maintenance activities are
most regularly performed directly by staff; however from time to time contractors are
employed to perform specific activities. On-going education and training is provided to
ensure that all of its employees have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their
functions effectively and efficiently.
Street sweeping operations are performed to reduce potential illicit discharges and to
provide a clean environment. The curb lines of streets are cleaned on a rotating basis. The
rotation may be changed or interrupted if heavy rain occurs, the sweeper is out of order
due to mechanical problems, or the Public Works Department experiences heavy
workload. The in-house sweepers handle all service requests, special events and in-house
construction jobs.
Village streets are currently swept an average of 1,600 lane miles per year.
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502
73
2019 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
The Village has a catch basin and storm sewer maintenance program which is carried out
by the Westmont Public Works Department. The Westmont Public Works Department
currently inspects, cleans, and maintains the MS4 components on a routine annual basis
of approximately 5% of the storm sewer pipe system and 10% of the catch basins. The
debris that is collected by Public Works is taken to a specially designed and constructed
storm sewer debris dump station which is located within the Public Works facility. This
dump station is utilized for drying storm sewer debris prior to hauling the solid material
off-site for proper disposal.
The Village of Westmont maintains its general facilities, municipal roads, associated
maintenance yards, and other public areas. Municipal staff are responsible for Litter and
Debris that can accumulate on Village property and roadway right-of-ways. Clean-up at
park district recreation areas is the responsibility of the Westmont Park District. Village
properties and right-of-ways (including municipal, Township, County and State right-of-
ways within the MS4 limits) are cleaned by Public Works personnel on an as-needed basis.
Yard waste and leaves from private residences are collected through the refuse collection
contractor. Yard waste is collected weekly from April till November which reduces debris
from landing in the street and being caught in catch basins and flowing to the waterways.
During snow removal and ice control activities, salt, de-icing chemicals, abrasives and
snow melt may pollute stormwater runoff. To address these potential pollutants, the
following procedures for the “winter season” (November 1 through April 1) are
implemented.
Roadway Ice Control:
The Village’s goal is to use the minimal amount of salt, de-icing chemicals and additives
necessary for effective control. Prior to November 1, preparation work to obtain seasonal
readiness is completed. These tasks include: inspecting and reconditioning of spreaders
and spinners, installing these items onto snow removal vehicles, performing test
operations, and conducting effective driver training. Performing these preparatory tasks
helps ensure that only the necessary level of salt is applied.
Village Public Works personnel has been taking measures to limit the use of salt due to its
high cost and environmental impacts. Staff has reduced road salt usage by lowering the
application rates for the salt when possible. Under certain circumstances only hills, curves,
intersections, arterials, and collector streets and neighborhood connector roadways have
been salted.
The Public Works Department is taking a proactive approach to snow and ice control by
continuing to expand the anti-icing program. The program involves the application of
Therma Point R on specified streets prior to an expected storm. The application of the
“supermix” through spray nozzles leaves a residual on the street which begins the melting
action as soon as the snow begins to fall. This residual prevents the snow and ice from
bonding to the pavement. The immediate melting action will not only give snow fighting
crews time to respond but should also reduce the number of isolated slippery conditions
which would normally require limited action by the Public Works Department. The
program will concentrate on the downtown b usiness district, arterials, and other known
trouble spots around the Village. Anti-icing application will be done prior to storms as
conditions allow. As we fully expect good results, it is our intention to continue the
program each year.
DUPAGE COUNTY NPDES PERMIT # ILR400502

2019 ANNUAL FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT
Salt Delivery and Storage:
Steps are taken to ensure that the delivery, storage and distribution of salt does not
pollute stormwater runoff from the Public Works yards. The floor of the salt storage
building and adjacent receiving/unloading area are constructed of asphalt. Delivered salt
is unloaded at the Village’s storage dome located at 55 East Burlington Avenue. The
Village has one salt dome and one covered storage bin.
Snow Plowing:
Snow plowing activities direct snow off the pavement and onto the parkways. This
reduces the amount of salt, chemical additives, abrasives or other pollutants that go
directly into the storm sewer system. Snow blowing, plowing or dumping into
drainageways is not allowed.
The Public Works Department washes all vehicles in an enclosed wash bay at their facility
which drains to the sanitary sewer after passing through a triple-basin separator. Fire
Department vehicles are washed at their respective fire stations in a similar manner. All
Police and other smaller municipal vehicles are washed at a local privately-owned
commercial car wash facility.
The Village maintains good housekeeping habits:
Clean Facility – picking up trash/debris; sweeping out Public Works garage minimally
monthly
Containers are stored orderly and away from traffic to prevent spills
Vehicles are cleaned inside garage which drains directly to Wastewater Treatment Plant
Storage containers are properly labeled
Plant chemicals, petroleum are stored inside the Public Works garage
Building floor drains are piped back to the treatment facility
Wheaton
The City vacuum swept 12,685 miles of streets which equates to each mile of City street
being swept of sediment and debris over 38 times in the reporting period.
The Public Works Yard Stormceptor was maintained based on manufacturers
recommendations and cleaned twice during the permit year.
62% of the City’s storm sewer structures were inspected, cleaned, or maintained
exceeding our goal of 30%. 957 Structures were inspected, 176 structures received
repairs, 23 were replaced, and 2,098 were cleaned.
27% of the City’s storm sewer mains were inspected, cleaned, or maintained exceeding
our goal of 10%. 187,382 LF of storm sewer was cleaned and 79,744 LF was inspected.
All catch basin storm sewer debris was dried in the debris dump station within the Public
Works facility which resulted in approximately 265 tons of sediment and debris removed
from the MS4 and sent to a landfill.

F4. Municipal Operations Waste Disposal
Goal:
The ILR40 permit requires that procedures be developed for properly disposing of waste removed from the
separate storm sewers and areas such as dredge spoil, accumulated sediments, floatables and other debris.
Milestone (Year 2):
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.
Status:
During the first 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.

F5. Flood Management/ Assess Guidelines
Goal:
Ensure that new flood management projects assess the impacts on water quality and examine existing projects
for incorporation of additional water quality protection devices or practices.
Milestone (Year 2):
Complete or implement 1 watershed plan, or components thereof, approved by the Stormwater Management
Planning Committee and County Board per year.
Status:
During the reporting year, the following water quality projects were completed. These projects contributed to the
implementation of previously completed Watershed-Based Plans.

F6. 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.
Milestone (Year 2):
Deployment and use of pre-wetting and anti-icing measures by partner agencies. Survey partner agencies on
pre-wetting and anti-icing practices.
Status:
During the reporting year, DuPage County and co-permitees continued current practices for snow and ice
removal on roads and public surfaces. More information on the chloride reduction efforts can be found in the
DRSCW and co-permitee attachments.
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. The 2018 Deicing Program
Summary Report is included in attachments.
