Online Bidding: Available Description: This project consists installation of a retaining wall, drainage features, natural slope repair, and access ramp installation on the Lake Michigan bluff at Forest Park in the City of Lake Forest in Lake County, Illinois. INTRODUCTION This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is for the proposed bluff stabilization and ramp installation at Forest Park, in Lake Forest, Lake County, Illinois. The Forest Park Bluff Stabilization Construction Drawings were prepared by Hey and Associates, Inc. and are dated June 16, 2022. Erosion and Sediment control plans and details can be found on sheets C1.1, C2.1, C2.6, C7.0, and C8.0. This SWPPP has been developed to satisfy the criteria established by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit for construction activities. The proposed improvements will primarily install a retaining wall and access ramp on the bluff face. Improvements also include removal of a section of trail, removal of an abandoned landing, installation of wick drains and BMPs, stabilization of gulleys, and proposed drainage and storm sewer infrastructure, along with the associated Best Management Practices (BMPs). The project is being constructed for the City of Lake Forest. A general contractor has not yet been selected at this time. Any documentation will be revised once a general contractor has been selected. An Application for a General Permit to Discharge Storm Water during Construction Site Activities to the State of Illinois by filing a Notice of Intent (NOI) is required for this project. Submittal of the required NOI was completed on July 27, 2022. Authorization to discharge stormwater under the Illinois Environmental Protection Act and the federal Clean Water Act may be given by the IEPA (permit number ILR10ZC09). Copies of the letter of confirmation of coverage under the general permit from the IEPA (the authorization letter), location of the SWPPP documents, and contact information for each person responsible for ensuring compliance with stormwater requirements will be included in this SWPPP at the end Section A.
