Notice of Public Hearing
Notice of Public Hearing
The City of North Chicago intends to submit a loan application to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency seeking funds to replace lead water service lines. Section 663.330 of the Illinois Procedures for Issuing Loans from the Public Water Supply Loan Program to Provide Funding for Lead Service Line Replacement requires that the IEPA conduct an assessment of the environmental impacts of the proposed drinking water project to be funded with loans. This review was carried out in conjunction with the State’s review of the City’s project plan. Prior to final approval of the plan, the public’s comments are sought regarding environmental impacts of the proposed project.
The IEPA has reviewed the project plan and has determined the project to be technically sound and cost-effective. Unless new information gained from the public causes a reconsideration, the Agency will approve the project plan at the close of the public comment period.
The City is making available for public inspection and comments a Project Summary and Preliminary Environmental Impacts Determination (PEID). That document is available for public inspection online at the City of North Chicago website, www.northchicago.org.
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the Project Summary and Preliminary Environmental Impacts Determination on March 3rd, 2025, at 5:45 pm. The public hearing will be held at City Hall, 1850 Lewis Avenue, North Chicago, IL 60064.
