RESUMO

By removing an additional 75 acres of the site from the pre-project 100-year floodplain, the Seven Bridges site in Woodridge, Illinois has shown that multiple objectives can be integrated into the site design of large-scale development projects. The project has accomplished this by turning complex water resources constraints into an asset. The former floodplain land has been reconfigured in an environmentally sensitive way to control water through avoindance of off-site impacts, provide developable land, and establish renowned recreational areas. This award-winning project clearly demonstrates that when properly engineered, a stormwater management system can be designed to meet all the permit requirements, protect key site development from flood damage, be aesthetically pleasing and remain economically feasible

RESUMO

Shortly after flooding began in the upper Mississippi basin in 1993, it became readily apparent that flooding in Illinois would reach catastrophic proportions. In response to this threat the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Water Resources (DWR) began to formulate a strategy to deal with the damage sure to occur from this event. The strategy had to deal with all different types of communities: sophisticated and unsophisticated, urban and rural, developing and stagnant. The strategy decided upon was called "Compliance as a Mitigation Tool," and is somewhat similar to the strategy known as "Tough Love", used to deal with troubled teenagers. That is, local officials would be given as much help as possible in responding to the aftermath of the flood and in enforcing their community regulations. However, pressure would be kept on the communities to enforce their floodplain management requirements

RESUMO

From June through August 1993, small towns in the Midwest along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers withnessed the worst flooding in their history. Many hydrologists consider the 1993 flood to be greater than a 100-year floodplain and sustained substantial flood damage. Woodward-Clyde Federal Services was selected to assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in conducting environmental assessments (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in a number of Illinois communities that had been ravaged by the flood. The communities were Grafton, Valmeyer, Keithsburg, Evansville, Hardin, Fults, Monroe County (unincorporated), and Kaskaskia Island, and each had suffered devastating losses of property. Almost 90


of Valmeyer had been destroyed, and the impacts to Grafton were almost as severe. Woodward-Clyde developed a fast-track approach to NEPA compliance, which was necessary before funds could be released for rebuilding and relocation activities. By the time Woodward-Clyde was under contract and began work, communities for as long as eight months
