These model ordinances enable low impact development, a set of practices designed to manage stormwater runoff in a way that improves the water quality of rivers, lakes and streams.  These ordinances address zoning, subdivision development, stormwater management and parking.

• Low Impact Development Residential Zoning Ordinance
• Low Impact Development Subdivision Ordinance
• Low Impact Development Storm Water Management Ordinance
• Low Impact Development Parking Ordinance

This model ordinance outlines a stormwater management program to improve water quality, reduce flood damage, and facilitate sustainable development.

This ordinance was developed by the City of Peoria to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality in rivers and streams.

This model ordinance can be adapted by communities to reduce soil erosion and mitigate negative impacts such as poor water quality and property damage.

This plan outlines recommendations for improving stormwater management throughout Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford Counties.  The plan won an award from the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association in 2009.

The Illinois River Bluffs are a large contributor to Illinois River sedimentation due to the nature of the steep slopes, highly erodible soils, and adjacency to the Illinois River.  This plan identifies solutions to erosion control that are specific to bluff communities.

The Tenmile Creek Watershed drains 11,000 acres in Tazewell and Woodford Counties and is a major contributor of sediment to the Illinois River at Peoria Lakes.  This plan aims to identify erosion control solutions within the watershed.

The Partridge Creek Watershed drains 18,000 acres in Woodford County and is a major contributor of sediment to the Illinois River at Peoria Lakes.  This plan aims to identify erosion control solutions within the watershed.

Ackerman Creek is a major tributary to Farm Creek that drains below the Farmdale reservoir, a dam that tends to capture sediment from upstream sources.  Ackerman is a major source stream for sediment and this plan aims to identify more specific measures for erosion control within this targeted watershed.
