Re:

Section 25-00029-06-RS – Leroy School Road – Highway & Matching
Resolutions

Recommended Action:
The Highway Department recommends approval of the Highway & Matching Tax
Resolutions for the resurfacing of Leroy School Road.

Background:
Leroy School Road from Leroy to the Sabina Road (CH 15 / 3200 East Road) was last
resurfaced in 1993. The average daily traffic on this road is 575 vehicles per day.
This project will provide cold-in-place recycling (CIR), hot-mix asphalt and other
construction related items. The CIR process is an in-place rehabilitation method that
consists of pulverizing the existing pavement to a depth of approximately 4 to 5 inches.
During the pulverization, an asphalt agent is added. This mixture is used as the new
base for the road. A hot-mix surface will be placed on the cured CIR pavement.
This project is scheduled for construction in 2026 and will be paid from the Motor Fuel
Tax Fund, County Matching Fund and County Highway Fund.

RE: Storm Water Management Plan
Background:
The County is required to submit an updated Storm Water Management Plan (SMWP) for the
unincorporated part of the urbanized area, as delineated in the 2020 U.S. Census Map, to the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) by June 1, 2026. The IEPA will then issue a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Storm Water Permit IL40 for discharges
from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) to any surface water of the State.
The SWMP has six control measures to reduce pollutants discharged within McLean County. Some
best management practices (BMP’s) and measurable goals for each control measure are shown in the
SWMP. The six minimum controls are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Public Education/Outreach
Public Participation/Involvement
Illicit Discharge Detection/Elimination
Construction Site Runoff Control
Post-Construction Runoff Control
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping

The County Highway Department will work with the Department of Building and Zoning and the
Health Department to meet these control measures. The County will continue to work with the
Ecology Action Center to assist in the storm water education portions of the plan during the 5-year
permit period.

16

McLean County Storm Water Management Plan
Executive Summary
The County of McLean is required to submit a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) in accordance
with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) law. The document outlines the
McLean County’s program to develop, implement and enforce a storm water management program
designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water
quality, and to satisfy the appropriate requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) in accordance
with the USEPA Phase II program. The SWMP addresses the six minimum control measures as
required by state regulations. The plan also identifies McLean County’s authority to implement the
general permit. The Notice of Intent (NOI) and SWMP were approved by McLean County on
February 12th, 2026.

Legal Authority
The County of McLean has the fiscal resources to fully implement its Storm Water Management plan.
However, the County of McLean is not a ‘Home Rule’ government agency and accordingly has
limitations on its regulatory legal authority. The County of McLean will exercise that regulatory authority
it has to the maximum extent practicable and allowable under State and local law.

Permit Coverage Area
The storm water management plan traverses all areas within the Bloomington-Normal Urbanized Area.
The combined jurisdictions represent approximately 132,000 residents, approximately 765 miles of
roadways and a number of storm water outfalls discharging to the waters of Sugar Creek, Little
Kickapoo, Money Creek, Six Mile Creek, and Kings Mill Creek.
The City of Bloomington and the Town of Normal shall be responsible for the portions of the
urbanized area within their respective jurisdiction. The County of McLean shall, with the respective
townships, be responsible for the unincorporated areas within the urbanized area as delineated on the
2010 Census Map. The goals of the Storm Water Management Plan shall be pursued through the
cooperative efforts of all government agencies within the urbanized area.

Reporting Requirements
McLean County will submit its required report annually during the term of the permit cycle. The report
will include the status of compliance with the permit conditions, an assessment of the appropriateness of
the BMPs and progress towards achieving the measurable goals for each of the six minimum control
measures. A summary of the activities McLean County will undertake during the reporting cycle and any
changes to BMPs or measurable goals and all relevant data obtained during the reporting period.

Storm Water Management Program
The plan outlines the six minimum control measures, which are expected to result in reductions in
pollutants discharged within McLean County. The identified water quality pollutants are fecal coliform,
oil and suspended solids. The six minimum controls will address the identified water quality pollutants.

17

The six minimum controls are:
1) Public Education/Outreach
2) Public Participation/Involvement
3) Illicit Discharge Detection/Elimination
4) Construction Site Runoff Control
5) Post Construction Runoff Control
6) Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping.
Each measure will be addressed separately below:

#1 - PUBLIC EDUCATION and OUTREACH
The Storm Water Committee has chosen a mix of best management practices (BMPs) to address the
fecal coliform, grease and oil, household and lawn/garden chemicals that could potentially end up in
local streams or creeks. This control measure will target homeowners, restaurateurs, industry and the
general public. An informed and knowledgeable community is crucial to the success of the storm water
management program. As the public becomes aware of the personal responsibilities expected of them
and others in the community, including the individual actions they can take to protect or improve the
quality of area waters, a greater compliance with the storm water program will result. The plan has two
major initiatives: the formation of partnerships and the use of educational materials.

Education Materials and Strategies
The Ecology Action Center (EAC) will provide program information, give residents an opportunity to
share resources, participate in activities and events regarding local environmental issues: greenways,
bikeways, natural conservation areas, recycling and water quality issues. Education topics might include
the benefits of recycling and opportunities for enhancing greenways.
The educational materials will include, but will not be limited to, the following:
1) Brochures
2) Alternative information sources (websites, bumper stickers, posters, etc.)
3) A library of educational materials
4) Portable Storm Water Informational Display/Exhibit

Reaching Diverse Audience
The public education program by the Ecology Action Center will use a variety of strategies in which to
reach a diverse audience. Mass media campaigns will use a mix of media to generate a watershed
message to our audience. Our local strategies will use television and radio ads, including multilingual
posters.
The school education program by the Ecology Action Center will target school age children. The
programs will teach students the water cycle, the watershed, the benefits of composting and storm water
runoff.
The education effort would target homeowners about proper septic system maintenance, proper disposal
of used motor oil, chemicals pesticides and household products.

18

Measurable Goals for Public Education and Outreach
Target Date

BMP Activity

Year 1 - 5
1. In cooperation with Ecology Action Center and the County Health Department provide
informational materials at appropriate venues such as home shows, fairs, Earth Day and
Conservation Day.
2. Continue school visits by EAC
a. 15% of the school age kids educated.
3. Provide information to homeowners on proper fertilizer and pesticide use.

#2 - PUBLIC PARTICIPATION/INVOLVEMENT
The McLean County, Town of Normal, and City of Bloomington intergovernmental storm water
committee has chosen a mix of best management practices (BMPs) to address the fecal coliform, grease
and oil, household and lawn/garden chemicals that could potentially end up in local streams, creeks, or
waterways. Support by the citizenry is crucial to the success of the storm water management plan. The
measure will involve all socio-economic groups. The public participation program is a key component of
the public education measure. Broader public support in the development and decision-making process
will minimize potential legal challenges.

Strategies
Public meetings will provide an opportunity to discuss various viewpoints and provide input concerning
appropriate storm water management policies and BMPs. Community cleanup projects for local
streams, riparian corridors, trails, highways, streets, open space and parks will be targeted.
McLean County will continue their Adopt-A-Highway Program to allow community groups or
organizations to volunteer to clean roadway right-of-way.
The Ecology Action Center will coordinate with homeowners on ways to maintain their yards by
reducing lawn chemical applications, installing rain gardens or rain barrels.

Measurable Goals for Public Participation/Involvement
Target Date

BMP Activity

Year 1 - 5
1. Continue to schedule meeting and events regarding storm water management.
2. Continue to enhance and encourage the on-going recycling programs through EAC.
3. Continue supporting the County’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
4. Continue activities of an established county-wide intergovernmental watershed organization.
5. Document the number of problems/incidents resolved because of complaints.

19

#3 - ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION and ELIMINATION
The illicit discharge detection measure will involve both municipal staff and local citizens. Each
jurisdiction will locate illicit discharge problems areas through public complaints, visual screening and dry
weather screening methods. The program will work to detect and eliminate illicit discharges.

Strategies

The local Geographic Information System (GIS) will be used to map the location of all storm sewer
outfalls and all the waters that receive storm water discharges. The GIS will also allow the input of
citizen complaints and dry weather screening and monitoring data.

Measurable Goals for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Target Date

BMP Activity

Year 1
1. Document the number of citizen complaints of illicit connections and the results of actions
taken.
Year 2 - 4
1. Disconnection of any identified illicit discharges.
2. Document the number of citizen complaints of illicit connections and the results of actions
taken.
Year 5
1. 100% of mapping efforts completed.
2. 70% of determined illicit sources disconnected
3. Document the number of citizen complaints of illicit connections and the results of actions
taken.

#4 - CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
McLean County recognizes that construction sites can deposit a significant amount of silts and
sediments in a short period of time. The Phase II rules require McLean County to develop a storm
water management program. McLean County has adopted an Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) as
part of their Land Subdivision Ordinance to reduce construction pollutants in its storm water runoff.
The ordinance requires developers, builders or owners to submit a plan that contains measures to reduce
soil erosion.
McLean County’s Zoning Ordinance also requires ESC for construction sites when building permits are
issued with disturbance of 5,000 square feet or more. Erosion and sediment control measures shall also
be provided for stockpiles that remain in place for more than three days.
Sites will then be inspected to ensure that the developers, builders and owners are following the erosion
and sediment control plan. Staff will also try to ensure that all developments have an NPDES permit for
erosion and sediment control.

Measurable Goals for Construction Site Runoff Control
Target Date

BMP Activity

Year 1 - 5
1. Continue implementation and enforcement of the ESC plan per the McLean County Subdivision
Ordinance.
2. Make inspections of construction sites for compliance with NPDES permits.

20

#5 - POST-CONSTRUCTION RUNOFF CONTROL
McLean County adopted a Stream Buffer Ordinance in 2010, which includes, but is not limited to, the
100-year flood plain.
Structural BMPs shall include the use of wet and dry retention basins, which will principally be used in
the urban environment.

Measurable Goals for Post Construction Runoff Control
Target Date

BMP Activity

Year 1 - 5
1. Continue policy of construction and maintenance of wet/dry detention basins.
2. Document the amount of acreage preserved as buffers.

#6 - POLLUTION PREVENTION/GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
The McLean County Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Measure for municipal operations
program goal is to reduce pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The vehicle maintenance
program requires that all County Highway Department operated vehicles be regularly inspected to
eliminate the amount of oil, grease, and fluid leaks. A program for the inspection of storm drains will be
developed.

Measurable Goals for Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Target Date

BMP Activity

Year 1 - 5
1. Review vehicle maintenance program.
2. Continue research of road salt alternatives
3. Inspect & clean 20% of storm water inlets.
