| 1 | | | License Request | PROPOSED LICENSE REQUEST
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”), as Licensor to grant a License to Nicor Gas Company (“Nicor”), Grantee, to locate, operate and maintain approximately 754 feet of existing gas main with new main along the east side of Rand Road from the Des Plaines River to the southeast for approximately 700 feet. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is re-building Rand Road, and Nicor’s gas lines need to be relocated to accommodate that construction. The existing mains are licensed under License #837. An original relocation plan was approved by the Board of Commissioners in 2024 (Board Item No. 24-0299 for License #1806), but the license agreement was never signed due to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers restrictions on impacts to an existing and nearby levee (Levee #50). The original plan was subsequently revised to shorten the main and shift the proposed bore pit approximately 150 feet to the west to avoid the levee. The shift would impact fourteen (14) trees, requiring payment of mitigation fees. | | |
