Summary
Public works staff said Homer Glen will apply for an IEPA 604(b) grant — a 100% funded program with no local match — to update the Long Run Creek watershed plan and will prioritize creek debris and blockage removal.
Public works staff reported the village will pursue an Illinois EPA 604(b) grant to update the Long Run Creek watershed-based plan. Staff said the 604(b) opportunity is "a 100% funded program, which means there's not a local match required," and explained the goal is to update the watershed plan and use the grant to support planning and remediation work.
Staff also commended the public works crew for ongoing cleanup of reported creek blockages and said that the department prioritizes those reports when scheduling maintenance. The board expressed support for pursuing the grant and for continued creek maintenance work.
