Presently, private landowners, including golf courses, are responsible for maintaining the stream as if crosses their property or f ows along a property line. This includes all aspects of management and maintenance, such as debris removal, invasive species control, streambank stabilization, and management of private stormwater outfall pipes. Since problems within the stream and riparian corridor can be the result of land use and other activities upstream of a particular property, it is in everyone's best interest to help ensure that this plan is implemented watershed-wide.

Exceptions to private landowner responsibility exist where the stream passes through public land, including Illinois Department of Natural Resources holdings, or areas within the jurisdiction of the Beach Park Drainage District, which are the responsibility of these public entities. Municipalities have primary responsibility for land use and development decisions within their jurisdiction, including the allowable quantity and quality of stormwater discharge, which dramatically affects the quality of the stream corridor .

The eff cient stormwater system also causes decreased base f ows during the drier summer and fall months, which can result in low dissolved oxygen levels that impair aquatic habitat. Conductivity levels, an indicator of chlorides within the water column (also referred to as Total Dissolved Solids or TDS), were also shown to be high, indicating that salt applied to roads for snow and ice control are impairing water quality . Lake Michigan beaches exhibit ongoing problems with fecal contamination due to high gull populations.

To improve this situation, the use of stormwater best management practices and the preservation and natural buffering of the natural drainage system (overlandf ow paths, streams, wetlands, lakes and f oodplain) should be required in all new development and encouraged in areas that are already developed. Drainage and detention in existing developed areas also should be retro f tted to better control runoff rates and to improve water quality. Natural hydrologic regimes and drainage systems should be preserved and/or restored to the extent practicable to reduce the impact of development and hydrologic modi f cation on f ooding and water quality and to help achieve aquatic habitat objectives.

5 prioritized action plan 5.2.3 PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The Dead River watershed is largely built out, meaning that a very limited amount of developable land remains. The existing developed landscape has and continues to impact watershed resources primarily due to the conversion (and loss) of the natural landscape to urban uses, alteration of the natural drainage and water retention features of that landscape, and the rate, volume, and quality of stormwater runoff.

The Lake County W atershed Development Ordinance provides good standards and practices for addressing some of these impacts, however , the jurisdictional scope of the County is limited, and watershed municipalities, as the primary land use and development decision-making entities, are responsible for adopting and enforcing many of the planning, zoning, subdivision, and development standards that will af fect watershed resources. Current municipal planning and development standards do not adequately identify, prioritize, or preserve valuable landscape features nor require (and in some cases, they do not even allow) the use of conservation design, low impact development, or stormwater best management practices.

Watershed and green infrastructure recommendations should be integrated into local policies, plans, and budgets.

Standards and policies that protect the natural drainage system from hydrologic modi f cation activities such as clearing, compaction, draining, f lling, dredging, and straightening, such as providing overlay zoning for high priority green infrastructure, are needed.These development standards may include changes to zoning regulations, subdivision, commercial, and industrial standards, to include conservation and low impact development techniques by right (rather than as an exception), natural buffers, and green infrastructure protection/management programs.

The parties that are responsible for implementing planning and development standards are primarily those responsible for land use decisions. Thus, the primary responsibility lies with the municipalities and Lake County.

Programmatic actions for planning and development standards are listed in Table 5.4.

Use the site development planning and approval process to encourage watershed-16 friendly development practices and designs that protect watershed resources and M LC S water quality by right rather than by exception.

Establish incentive programs for developers to implement conservation and low impact development planning and design practices and techniques. These incentives 17 could include expedited permitting and review procedures, density bonuses, tax M LC M credits, cost-share, or fee reductions for early projects that serve as demonstrations and free technical assistance.

Make it easy for developers and builders to incorporate best management practices recommended by this watershed plan into new developments or redeveloped areas. Modify zoning and development standards to facilitate implementation of the watershed plan recommendations. This could include the following: review 18 and update development standards, add incentives such as density bonuses, M LC M park and open space donation credits, and other incentives, for preserving the green infrastructure system. Within new developments, easements or deed restrictions should be placed on lands identif ed as Category 1 parcels on the Green Infrastructure Plan.

This action is most relevant for Highly Vulnerable Critical Subbasin #35, which is at risk for land use conversion that may result in signif cantly higher imperviousness.

Reduce minimum street widths to those necessary to carry the expected average 20a M LC L traff c volume rather than the maximum traff c volume.

Natural areas within the Dead River watershed include Illinois Beach State Park, L yons W oods Forest Preserve, and parts of Thunderhawk Golf Club Forest Preserve. Lyons Woods and IBSP are some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the State of Illinois. The state park has one of the last remaining reaches of natural Lake Michigan shoreline in Illinois. These holdings signi f cant and form a strong foundation for the green infrastructure network.

Outside of these areas, natural areas are sparse and found primarily along the Union Pacif c railroad corridor, with three remaining open parcels bounded by Yorkhouse Road, North Avenue, and Sheridan Road. Nonetheless, landowners along the stream corridor are responsible for restoring and managing the stream and riparian areas, which are very important to the natural health of the watershed.

Wetland protection, management, and restoration are needed to protect the natural conveyance system, improve water quality, provide stormwater storage, and other natural resource benef ts. As recipients of drainage from the entire Dead River watershed upstream, IBSP and L yons W oods are being degraded by that runoff and are in critical need of restoration and management to protect and enhance their high quality wetlands and natural areas. Upstream watershed management that restores a more natural hydrology and reduces erosion, pollution, and sediment loads to the park and forest preserve will help stabilize the hydrology and preserve rare and highly valued natural communities in the T H E D E A D R I V E R l W AT E R S H E D - B A S E D P L A N 180
