SUMMARY:BMP Talk & Tour: Green Infrastructure for Flood Mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Like many cities throughout the country\, Crystal Lake is learning to adapt to increased flooding in our communities. This program will demonstrate how green infrastructure and native vegetation can be used to effectively mitigate flooding in urbanized areas while providing a multitude of additional benefits. \nThe program will be led by staff from Crystal Lake Public Works who have been directly involved in addressing flood issues. We will meet at the Crystal Lake City Hall for a brief presentation and then travel by bus for guided tours at three green infrastructure projects. \nThe tours will showcase a naturalized regional detention system in a neighborhood that had experienced frequent flooding\, a bioswale that provides erosion control and filters runoff before it flows into Crystal Lake\, and a network of constructed wetlands that provide much needed flood relief in an older residential community prone to flooding. \nThis tour is limited to 25 guests\, so register quickly to secure your spot! \n\nTo register\, please RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/BMPTourSignup or email Scott Kuykendall\, McHenry County Water Resources Specialist at SHKuykendall@mchenrycountyil.gov\n\nThese popular Talk and Tour programs showcase Best Management Practices successfully implemented in McHenry County. The programs are a collaborative effort with the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development.\nFor more information on how you can help protect McHenry County’s natural resources visit the Defenders website https://mcdef.org/.
