The Land Learning Foundation (program sponsor) proposes to establish the ILF Program under the mitigation rule as a compensatory wetland and stream mitigation program in Illinois. Funds generated by the sale of credits will be used by the sponsor to identify, plan, and implement various types of compensatory mitigation projects. The sponsor will accept the transfer of mitigation responsibility from permit applicants and will assume all legal responsibility for satisfying mitigation requirements for which fees have been accepted (i.e., implementation, performance, and long term management of specific mitigation sites as outlined in the accompanying prospectus). The ILF Program proposes two types of credits available for purchase by a permittee, advanced credits and released credit. The advanced credits are in-lieu fee credits sold in advance of mitigation sites generating released credit. (See the total Advanced Credits requested by the sponsor within Section III (e) “Initial Allocation of Credits”, of the Prospectus, page 6). The selection of individual mitigation projects, as well as specific project partners, will occur on an on-going basis as ILF mitigation needs are realized. Individual projects will be provided to the IRT for consideration, comment, modification and approval. The Southern Illinois In-Lieu-Fee Stream and Wetland Mitigation Program (ILF Program) would operate within the Lower Kaskaskia River (07140204), Big Muddy River (07140106), Upper Mississippi-Cape Girardeau Rivers (07140105) and the Cahokia-Joachim (07140101) watersheds, in the State of Illinois. The four watersheds/service areas encompass all of St. Clair, Monroe, Randolph, Perry and Jackson Counties, and portions of Madison, Macoupin, Montgomery, Bond, Clinton, Washington, Marion, Jefferson, Franklin, Williamson, Johnson, Union and Alexander Counties.

St. Charles County Parks seeks authorization to mechanically dredge approximately 11,200 cubic yards of accumulated sediment and sand from within the mouth of Hideaway Harbor boat ramp basin (Weber Lake), providing adequate depths for safe boater access from the boat ramp to the Mississippi River. The purpose of the project would be to remove sediments and sand that have been deposited within the boat basin due to the fluctuation of the water levels within the Mississippi River. Authorization to conduct periodic dredging activities would ensure an adequate depth for safe boating and public access to the Mississippi River. The dredge material will be placed on a barge, hauled to the downstream end of Portage Island and deposited back into the Mississippi River near mile 213.0. Dredging needs and frequency are dependent on the Mississippi River’s fluctuation and deposition patterns. Due to the unknown schedule of dredging needs, St. Charles County Parks seeks a 5-year permit authorization to allow periodic dredging on an as needed basis. Dredging activities would occur within the existing Hideaway Harbor boat ramp basin (Weber Lake). The boat ramp and basin is located along the right descending bank of the Mississippi River, at river mile 213.8, approximately 1.2 miles west of Portage Des Sioux, in St. Charles County, Missouri. Written comments must be submitted by replying by electronic mail, or written mail to the addresses shown in the signature block below. The Public Notice comment period opens on July 19, 2018, and closes on August 7, 2018.
