3/14/23,3:06 PM Item Coversheet <br /> The earthen berm surrounding the Basin will not be able to be decommissioned by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources <br /> for several years until the Basin's thick sediment layer has sufficiently dried out so that it will not move as the berm deteriorates or <br /> is removed. <br /> The City has examined establishing a solar project on this site,but consultants advised the City that it would not be suitable for <br /> solar. We are still exploring other options for the site. Getting the site to dry out faster and ways of managing the weeds are two <br /> factors that will impact potential future projects. <br /> LEGAL REVIEW: <br /> The lease was provided to the Legal Department for review on December 13,2022. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: None <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None foreseen <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell,Public Works Director,424-2747.Keith Alexander,Water Production Manager,424-2863. <br /> Jennifer Gunter,Watershed and Lake Manager,424-2834.
