Fox Chain O’Lakes Watershed Planning Meeting – Sept 2022
The Fox Waterway Agency Watershed Planning Meeting presentation provides updates on the ongoing development of a comprehensive watershed plan for the Fox Chain O’Lakes system. It outlines the purpose of the watershed planning process — to coordinate regional partners, assess current water quality conditions, identify sources of pollutants, and develop actionable strategies to reduce sediment, nutrient loading, and other impacts affecting the waterway.
The meeting highlights the structure of the planning effort funded through an IEPA Section 319 grant, emphasizes stakeholder involvement and public outreach, and summarizes key watershed challenges and opportunities for implementing best management practices. The presentation reinforces the need for collaborative action among local governments, agencies, residents, and organizations to improve water quality and support sustainable watershed management going forward.
