Riverwoods is a permittee in the MS4 program, regulated by the ILEPA, to minimize pollution of surface waters.
MS4 permittees must develop a stormwater management program comprised of measurable goals for the following six minimum control measures.
- Public education and outreach on stormwater impacts
- Public involvement and participation
- Illicit discharge detection and elimination
- Construction site stormwater runoff control
- Post-construction stormwater management in new development and redevelopment
- Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations
The Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) is established as a countywide Qualifying Local Program (QLP) and performs some of the activities required to meet the minimum control measures.
