PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
Program funds are available to implement green infrastructure best management practices (BMPs) that prevent, eliminate, or reduce water quality impairments through the decrease of stormwater runoff into Illinois’ rivers, streams, and lakes. BMPs may be located on both public or private land.
Eligible projects include BMPs that 1) reconnect a waterbody to its floodplain, 2) treat and control flow of stormwater runoff at sites directly upstream or downstream of an impervious area that currently impacts river, stream, or lake water quality, and 3) treat and control the flow of water generated from impervious surfaces associated with urban development.

Objective
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) is seeking proposals for projects to construct green infrastructure best management practices (BMPs) that prevent, eliminate, or reduce water quality impairments by decreasing stormwater runoff into Illinois’ rivers, streams, and lakes. Projects that implement treatment trains (multiple BMPs in series) and/or multiple BMPs within the same watershed are encouraged as they may be more effective and efficient than a single large green infrastructure BMP. BMPs may be located on both public or private land.
