CLEARWATER BASIN Mr. Walter Fieber, 808 South Lancaster, stated that & YARD WASTE he has noticed the Clearwater Park Basin during heavy rain falls and felt that a if the slopes around the perimeter of the basin were raised in height the capacity of the basin would be increased by approximately 20 million gallons of storm water. Mr. Fieber also stated that he recently received the Village's information package prohibiting residents from including yard waste with the regular weekly garbage.

Trustee Corcoran explained that the Village's Recycling Commission had spent many hours exploring the various methods of disposing of yard waste and since Mount Prospect does not have a location for municipal composting like Des Plaines, this is the most feasible method to dispose of yard waste.
