Flint Creek Watershed Partnership
The Flint Creek Watershed Partnership (FCWP), a team representing BACOG; Citizens for Conservation, Barrington Area Development Council; the Villages of Barrington, Barrington Hills, Deer Park, Hawthorn Woods, Inverness, Lake Barrington, Lake Zurich, and North Barrington; other stakeholders and organziations are addressing surface water quality and quantity issues in Flint Creek and its watershed. Any resident, property owner, homeowners association, garden club, golf course or business in the watershed is invited to attend meetings. Future projects include stabilization of eroding shorelines, minimizing pollutants and purifying water entering the creek, and providing detention and wetland upgrades.
The Flint Creek Watershed Partnership completed the draft updated Flint Creek Watershed-Based Plan in November 2007. The FCWP describes the Flint Creek Watershed Plan as a document that “examines watershed characteristics and issues such as land use and its effects on the landscape, open space and natural resources, natural and created drainage systems (streams, lakes, wetlands, and detention basins), flooding, water quality, and education. The results obtained from the watershed characteristics assessment are used to develop Prioritized Action Plans that watershed stakeholders can use to improve watershed conditions through programs, natural resource enhancement projects, protection of green infrastructure and groundwater recharge areas, water quality monitoring, and education.”
The Barrington Area Council of Governments adopted Resolution 08-02 - A Resolution Endorsing the Flint Creek Watershed-Based Plan at its April 22nd Executive Board Meeting.
