Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (the “Preserves”), as Licensor to grant a License to Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, Grantee, to locate, operate and maintain a backflow preventer on Preserves property.

| 1 | | License to the Village of Winnetka, Illinois | License Request | PROPOSED LICENSE REQUEST
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (the “Preserves”), as Licensor to grant a License to the Village of Winnetka, Illinois, Grantee, to locate, operate and maintain 9-foot by 5-foot concrete box culvert under Tower Road to the Tower Road Lagoon (south of Tower Road, east of Forestway Drive). The new culvert will replace an existing 36-inch storm sewer at the same location, which severely restricts flow going into the pond. The installation will allow fuller utilization of the design capacity of the existing lagoon. As part of this project, the Village will stabilize the lagoon banks with 3:1 slopes, emergent plants and wet prairie plants, and restore the encroachment area with low profile grasses. A few low value trees impacted by this project will be replaced with new trees within the restoration area. The Village will manage the restoration area for 5 years to establish the new plantings. No increase in size or other changes to the lagoon are proposed.
