DuPage County Stormwater Management is in the process of developing a green infrastructure inventory. The virtual map (see Figure 6.7) shows the location of existing green infrastructure throughout DuPage County and will calculate the acres treated and the volume of runoff treated annually. Photos of the green infrastructure practices can also be included and displayed on the map. DuPage County partners with 41 municipalities and townships in an NPDES permit through Illinois EPA. The map has been presented to these partners and municipal green infrastructure has been requested for inclusion in the map. Once publicly owned green infrastructure is incorporated, the map will be posted on the DuPage County website, along with educational resources on green infrastructure benefits and implementation. The public will be able to submit information on privately-owned green infrastructure for inclusion in the inventory.
