• In summer 2007, The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, in cooperation with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), published the Guidance for Developing Watershed Action Plans in Illinois. This easy-to-read guide serves as a road map for communities that are interested in developing comprehensive watershed-based plans. More importantly, IEPA directs the majority of funding from its "319 Grant Program" to the types of plans described in the Guidance. In other words, projects connected with comprehensive watershed-based plans are given funding priority by IEPA.
