(Underground Storm Water Detention at Aspen Trails Park) 3 Mayor Juracek opened the public hearing to present the proposed Rebuild Illinois Public Infrastructure Group Project at 7:25 p.m. The public hearing was available for viewing via live -stream on MPDC or on Comcast or WOW cable channel 17. Residents with questions or comments were provided a phone number and email during the public hearing. There was no public comment. Director of Public Works Sean Dorsey, Deputy Director of Public Works Jason Leib, Village Engineer Jeff Wulbecker and Erik Gil, Project Manager of Christopher B. Burke Engineering were present via remote video conference. Mr. Dorsey stated, as part of the public infrastructure grant application, a public hearing at an official meeting of the public body must be conducted. Mr. Dorsey stated this public hearing satisfies this requirement. Mr. Dorsey provided background information and the significant need for this project. Mr. Dorsey stated that in April 2013, a major storm produced significant flooding in the subject study area. The pump stations were unable to keep up with the incoming water and many homes with low - grade entrances and garages were impacted. Mr. Dorsey displayed the Levee 37 study area and reviewed the existing pump station design. Mr. Dorsey stated the study area was annexed into the Village in 1971 and was originally developed in unincorporated Cook County. As a result, the area was built to County standards and constructed prior to certain stormwater detention requirements. The Levee 37 design included three pump stations intended to evacuate interior stormwater when the Des Plaines River is high. Mr. Dorsey provided additional details on the design including maximum pumping capacities and the extent of the 2013 flood. Mr. Dorsey stated the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working on pump station upgrades and anticipates construction to being in fall 2020. Mr. Dorsey indicated that the pump station upgrades alone do not achieve a 10 -year level of protection in the Levee 37 drainage area, exposing many homes at risk for the 10 -year storm. Christopher Burke Engineering recommends flood storage creation in the form of a detention pond in combination with pump station upgrades to efficiently combat this issue. Mr. Dorsey stated four open spaces were identified and analyzed for the flood storage areas that include Aspen Trails Park, Indian Grove Elementary, Burning Bush Trails Park and vacant parcel on River Road. The Burning Bush Trails (Pump Station #1) and Aspen Trials Parks (Pump Station #2) were selected after careful consideration to serve as the flood storage areas. Construction of Pump Station #1 is expected to be completed in July 2020 and will provide 13.4 acre -feet of storage with an estimated cost of $4.1 million. Construction of a stormwater facility at Pump Station #2 at Aspen Trails Park will provide 17 acre-feet of storage in an underground vault. The project's estimated cost is $ 9.32 million. Mr. Dorsey provided a summary of flood storage volume options. A key objective is to create storage that reduces the level of flooding to achieve a 10 -year level of protection in the Levee 37 drainage area in combination with the pump station upgrades. Mr. Dorsey shared an analysis that determined the number of events that fill the park storage facilities with stormwater over a 5 -year period for both Burning Bush Trails and Aspen Trails Parks. Mr. Dorsey reviewed the cost and summary of the project. Mr. Dorsey stated the total project cost is $9.32 million. The Illinois DCEO Public Infrastructure Grant request is in Ell the amount of $5 million; the Village's commitment is $4.32 million. Mr. Dorsey stated the Village is also a finalist to receive a grant from MWRD (Metropolitan Water Reclamation District) for this project. Mr. Dorsey displayed the anticipated schedule of the project with construction to begin in April 2021 and concluding in October 2021. Mr.1)oresy provided the following in response to questions from the Board: • Grant applications have been submitted; award decision from MWRD is expected in the next several weeks and the Rebuild Illinois Public Infrastructure grant is expected in the fa I I • Project will be difficult to fund without outside support • To remove a home from a flood -zone designation requires FEMA approval and finalization; the Aspen Trails Park project will not relieve any homes of this designation (Village Engineer teff Wulbecker provided answer) Board Comments: • Requested from staff is a list of all projects and associated costs that the Village has completed to improve this area; much needed project Supports project The area along River Road near Seminole floods frequently; this project will significantly improve this area *Thanked the Village for all that is being done to improve these vulnerable areas of town Mayor Juracek noted there was no public comment.
