10/22/2014

PictureDavid Rankin of the Great Lakes Protection Fund was the first of the six speakers.
The Village of Winnetka, IL is in the midst of developing plans to construct a conveyance tunnel for excess stormwater to Lake Michigan.  Yesterday, the LWVLMR joined the  Leagues of Women Voters of Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Wilmette, and Winnetka-Northfield-Kenilworth to cosponsor a program, "Managing Stormwater/Protecting Lake Michigan: Determining the Future Now," to provide information and context to the public. 

A distinguished panel of speakers provided background on Lake Michigan; Green Infrastructure; stormwater planning in Glenview, IL; the specific plans in Winnetka; and the stormwater discharge permitting process in Illinois.  Beth Coulson, a member of the LWV Glenview, moderated.  The speakers have kindly given us permission to share their powerpoint presentations.

For more information on the tunnel, please see the Village of Winnetka's dedicated stormwater management planning website.  For media coverage of this program, see articles in the Chicago Tribune,  and the Glenview Announcements (also appeared in other Pioneer Press publications).

UPDATED 10/30/14 to add newspaper article.  SECOND UPDATE on 11/9/14 to link to speaker presentations.
