REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS

Aptakisic Creek Hydrologic and Hydraulic Study: Village of Buffalo Grove—Completed 2018 Hey was contracted by a private developer at the direction of the Village of Buffalo Grove and the LCSMC to prepare a detailed XP-SWMM hydrologic and hydraulic model of the portion of the Aptakisic Creek watershed from the confluence with the Des Planes River through the Village of Buffalo Grove.

The study was requested by the Village to ascertain the function of more than 20 stormwater basins located along Aptakisic Creek in an existing commercial and industrial corridor. Additionally, LCSMC desired the updated modeling to weigh options to improve substantial ongoing flooding in a downstream residential neighborhood. The developer wished to explore whether required compensatory storage could be accommodated in existing on-line basins by modifying outlet characteristics on one or more facilities within the development.

Hey prepared an XP-SWMM model of the area using FEMA effective modeling, available as-built plans, GIS data, and updated field survey of critical areas. As a result of the study, the developer was able to show that a minor modification to a Village owned basin could provide additional flood control storage to accommodate the compensatory storage needs of a proposed development, as well as additional storage to mitigate flooding along the reach. Hey prepared construction plans and permit documentation for the basin modification.

In addition to the project specific documentation, Hey prepared a summary report for the Village and LCSMC to document additional potential flood reduction opportunities and limitations. Hey had previously prepared detailed modeling and design for stabilization and restoration of over 1,200 linear feet of streambank along Aptaksic Creek on Lake County Public Works property, where critical treatment plant infrastructure was at risk of failure due to erosion in the same project reach.

Reference: Mr. Darren Monico, P.E. - Village Engineer—Buffalo Grove 847-459-2523 [email protected] Southern Des Plaines Hydrologic Restoration: Lake County Forest Preserves—Completed 2019 Our hydrologic restoration work with the Lake County Forest Preserves (LCFPD) typically begins with a drain tile investigation and overall drainage assessment. Within the Village of Mettawa we have completed these studies for the Old School, Grainger Woods Conservation, Captain Daniel Wright Woods Preserves, and the Adlai E. Stevenson Historic Home, developing a deep understanding of the drainage patterns of much of the community. In 2015, the LCFPD engaged Hey to perform final hydrologic restoration planning, design and permitting at these preserves, collectively termed the Southern Des Plaines area. The work is along the east side of the Des Plaines River and consists of previously restored flatwoods and prairie areas.

The Hey design met LCFPD’s goal to “maintain and improve critical drainage systems and culverts to protect onsite and off-site concerns; reconfigure necessary culvert and overland flow paths to maintain suitable conveyance; remove, abandon and manipulate current drain tile systems to minimize loss of hydrology; and reconfigure and utilize overland flow paths to restore hydrology to open and wetland habitats”.

The final plan included replacing portions of the 21” mainline tile with a storm sewer to maintain off-site tile conveyance, disabling on-site tiles, replacing a culvert under St. Mary’s Road (coordinated with the Lake County Division of Transportation), providing swales with grade control measures to focus maximize site hydrology without increasing off-site flood elevations, and channel and streambank stabilization between the storm sewer outfall and the Des Plaines River. Work also included investigation of drainage and culvert improvements along a private drive accessing the Grainger Woods preserve from Illinois Route 60. Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling was performed to support design and permitting. Construction of the project, performed by the LCFPD, was completed in 2019.

REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS—CONTINUED Detention Basin Retrofits: Lake County Division of Transportation—Ongoing Hey was retained by the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) to assess and prepare construction documents for the retrofit of a number of existing detention basins owned by the LCDOT. Retrofits focused on improved basin functionality, primarily focused on improving water quality and overall drainage.

The first phase of the project included four basins, and construction was completed in 2013. Retrofits included enhanced basin bottom drainage to minimize erosion and short-circuiting, updated outlet design to enhance functionality, limited additional basin volume, and conversion of unmaintained and turf bottom basins to native vegetation.

The second phase of the project included a large scale enhancement of an existing basin at the LCDOT facility on Winchester Avenue in Libertyville. This basin was expanded to increase volume and mitigate known downstream drainage issues. This was documented in XP-SWMM with a model comparing the existing and proposed conditions. The retrofit routed a substantial portion of the existing runoff to the basin through a pretreatment bio-swale and wetland basin. The basins were planted with native vegetation and educational signage and a walking path will be included in the design.

Phase two also included detailed evaluation of eight additional basins for potential future retrofits. Construction documents for retrofits of four of these eight basins were subsequently completed, and construction took place in 2016. Improvements for this third phase of the project included similar improvements to the first phases. Hey has also provided recommendations for maintenance efforts performed by LCDOT maintenance staff for six additional basins.

Hey continues to support LCDOT by providing contract management and field oversight for annual maintenance of native basins and other natural areas. We are also currently working with LCDOT on a retrofit of the parking area draining to the facility basin to include permeable pavement and additional stormwater BMPs. Hey assisted with the preparation of an IEPA 319 Grant application for the lot and associated BMPs.

Reference: Mr. Al Giertych - Lake County Division of Transportation 847-377-7410 [email protected] Village Stormwater Master Plan: Village of Niles—Ongoing Hey prepared a Stormwater Master Plan, first adopted by the Village of Niles in June 2012. The preparation of the Master Plan involved advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, evaluation and diagnosis of drainage problems, preparation of recommended solutions, and new cost share programs and stormwater management regulations. The capital improvement program included over $30M of proposed improvements in two priority tiers. Hey modeled the sewer system using XPSWMM 2D which uses the standard SWMM engine for modeling sewer flows, while making use of a digital elevation model (DEM) to represent overland flowpaths and surface flooding. The model was used to analyze existing system performance and to develop proposed improvements.



REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS—CONTINUED The proposed stormwater program included recommendations for a Regulatory Program, Maintenance, Cost Share, and Capital Improvements. Since adoption of the Stormwater Management Plan, Hey has continued to assist the Village of Niles to implement the program through additional work, including:

• Completed preliminary and final engineering for Tier 1 projects. These projects received awards from Illinois American Society of Civil Engineers and American Council of Engineering Companies

• Assisted with implementation of residential cost sharing programs including residential site visits and property assessments

• Smoke testing of sanitary sewers

• Wrote municipal stormwater management ordinance and serve as review engineer for commercial developments

• Designed green infrastructure improvement projects and assisted in securing grants for construction

• Assisted the Village of Niles in securing over $2 million in grant funding and with application for and receipt of an SRF loan

In 2018, Hey completed a major update to the Stormwater Management Master Plan. This plan represented a 5-year update to the original plan. As-built data from the completed projects as well as new data was incorporated into the earlier study. Previously prepared projects as well as a number of new projects were analyzed and comprehensively reprioritized for future implementation.

Reference: Mr. Steve Vinezeano - Village of Niles 847-588-8007 [email protected]

Hydraulic Engineering, Survey, and Wetland Services: Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways—Ongoing Hey has worked with the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways – Design Bureau to provide hydraulic engineering, surveying and wetlands services for roadway projects since 2013.

Work includes Data Collection and Permit Identification, Wetland Delineation, Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analyses, Location Drainage Studies, Hydraulic Reports, Drainage Investigations, Plan Drawing Preparation, Storm Sewer Design, Scour Analysis, Surveying, Best Management Practice Design, supervision of sewer televising, and permitting in Cook County in northeastern Illinois. To date, Hey has completed over 60 permit reviews and prepared a variety of hydraulic studies, design documents, and permitting for a wide variety of projects addressing drainage issues ranging from residential to bridge replacements.

Reference: Mr. Adam James, P.E. - CCDOTH 312-603-7283 [email protected]

Strawberry Condominiums Drainage Improvements: Lake County Stormwater Management Commission—Ongoing Hey regularly assists the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (LCSMC) with drainage and wetland services as part of an ongoing consulting contract with the LCSMC. One of these projects includes preparing topographic survey, XP-SWMM H&H analysis, and design and permitting to resolve ongoing drainage issues at a condominium development in the City of North Chicago. Assessment work included review of flooding information provided by LCSMC and enhancing an existing LCSMC XP-SWMM model with site survey data to facilitate detailed assessment of drainage issues.

In the existing conditions, the development experiences major flooding in events exceeding the 10-year recurrence interval from drainage flowing through the community from off-site. The proposed project will enhance surface conveyance with a system of swales and also increase inlet and storm sewer capacity to achieve near 100-year capacity. Runoff will be directed to an existing City of North Chicago detention basin that through detailed modeling was determined to have capacity to provide flood attenuation for downstream areas. Hey has completed construction and permit documents and the project is slated for construction in the summer of 2020.

Hey and Associates, Inc. Project Understanding


PROJECT UNDERSTANDING As noted in the RFQ, the Village of Mettawa is a relatively small community characterized by large residential properties and open spaces, including several Lake County Forest Preserves. Much of this area generally drains west to the Des Plaines River, which makes up the western municipal boundary of the community. Though the floodplain and floodway of the Des Plaines do not substantially impact residential properties or roadways within the Village, understanding the drainage through the community to the river will likely be critical to assessing overall drainage concerns within the community. This includes a tributary to the Des Plaines River, coined the Werhane Lake Drain, that drains east to west through the northern portion of the community. This tributary begins south of Illinois Route 60 as the drain for several large stormwater management facilities associated with large business complexes, draining under the road, through estate residential properties, and ultimately through the MacArthur Woods Forest Preserve to the river.

The Village has identified several areas of concern for stormwater management. These include:

• Stormwater overtopping roads and private driveways during significant rainfalls

• Clearing of a large drainage ditch with bank stabilization that covers a large watershed

• Functioning of subdivision detention facilities

• Adequately sized road culverts

Above we have detailed the substantial work we have done with the Lake County Forest Preserves improving drainage on and around their preserves within the Village. Having prepared these studies and designed substantial improvements in this area, we are uniquely qualified to begin this project with an unmatched understanding of drainage in the community. In addition to this intellectual head-start, the base-map preparation, data gathering, and detailed XP-SWMM modeling we have already done in in many of these areas for those projects will save the Village time and money in project start-up costs.

Hey and Associates, Inc. Project Understanding


PROJECT UNDERSTANDING—CONTINUED Expanding upon our already thorough understanding of Village drainage, we have reviewed the First Street Foundation’s Flood Factor website. Of the 214 households within the Village approximately 65, about 14% of total, properties are at risk from flooding.

We will rely on our previously developed understanding of community drainage, paired with new and improving data sources like the Flood Factor site noted above and new Lake County spatial data including the relatively recently release 2017 LidDar data to pair with drainage information collected by the Village. Armed with this information we will work to identify the best approach to quantifying drainage issues and developing cost efficient long-term solutions, as we have for so many Lake County communities, agencies, and residents. Our skills, honed over decades of practice, combined with our unmatched understanding of drainage within the community leave Hey best suited to assist Mettawa with this project.
