Johnson Direc r o En ne i a d Mayor Co u ty Dev o en NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS PLANNING COMMISSION Attest: By: Deputy Director Executive Director 51 ATTACHMENT 1 - SCOPE OF WORK SALT CREEK STREAMBANK STABILIZATION — ELK GROVE VILLAGE Background and Project Description This project will improve water quality in Salt Creek by addressing streambank erosion and non - point source pollution. For streambank stabilization along a reach between Arlington Heights Road and John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Elk Grove Village, a hierarchy of decisions that uses bioengineering solutions first, followed by structural solutions, as required, will be used to determine appropriate solutions at specific locations. Solutions include combinations of techniques to satisfy unique site-specific requirements such as lunker structures, coir fiber rolls, A -Jacks, vegetated geogrids, erosion control blankets, and native plantings. Tree removal is essential to the success of any of these techniques. Riparian habitat will be enhanced throughout the project reach by utilizing appropriate plantings and other methods. Since the project reach includes significant areas in public ownership, there is greater opportunity for notable improvements to the riparian environment. The Village also plans to educate the public about water quality impacts of new development, non -point source pollution in existing development, managing pollution from households, landscaping with native plants, and protecting areas that provide important water quality benefits. This will be accomplished via annual workshops and newsletters. Scone of Work A grant has been awarded to NIPC by the Illinois EPA (funded under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act) to provide financial and technical assistance to the Village to perform the following scope of work. NIPC's role will be that of technical assistant to the Village during the design, construction, and management stages of the project as well as contract manager. The amount of the grant to the Village is $600,898 and the required local cost share in expenses and in-kind services by the Village is $400,599. Grant payments will be made according to the Payment Schedule provided at the end of this document. 1. Design Specifications - The Village shall prepare design specifications (Design) for the stabilization of 6,100 feet of eroding streambanks along a 3,050 foot segment of Salt Creek located between Arlington Heights Road and John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The Design shall be prepared to arrest streambank erosion and reduce nonpoint source pollution through the installation of environmentally sound practices while protecting or enhancing habitat, ameliorating damage from peak flows, reducing velocity of peak flows, and enhancing aesthetic qualities. The Design shall identify the type and location A-1 of selected streambank stabilization practices (i.e., A -jacks, coir fiber rolls, lunkers, selective tree removal, native vegetation planting, erosion control blankets, and vegetated geogrids), describe the environmental problems associated with the sites and the criteria used to select each practice, and provide a detailed blueprint for their cost, advantages and disadvantages, location, design, maintenance, installation and construction, and materials used including plant species. The Design also shall include an estimate of pollutant removal efficiency calculated using the Illinois EPA's Estimating Pollutant Load Reductions for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control BMPs workbook. The Design shall meet the requirements of the current Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Technical Guide and Engineering Field Manual, Illinois Urban Manual, and the Native Plant Guide for Streams and Stormwater Facilities in Northeastern Illinois. Three (3) paper copies of the draft Design and "BMP Application Forms" shall be completed and submitted by the Village to NIPC by May 1, 2002.
