Committee meetings continue. Existing standards are under review, additional standards in process. Website maintenance will be complete in November. New functionality and content expected complete by mid January 2025!

Steering and Technical Committee meetings have begun! Action items have been assigned to generate the IUM updates that the IEPA Grant secured by Illinois Soil & Water Conservation Districts outlines. If you have suggestions or feedback for the Committees - please share.

Soil and Water Conservation Districts have secured a grant from the IEPA that will fund updates to the best management practices of the Illinois Urban Manual, as well as streamlining the functionality of the website. This will not be a comprehensive overhaul, but will encompass many key upgrades. The Manual will continue to evolve over time as funds become available. Steering and Technical Committees will convene this summer to start the review and implement recommendations. Your feedback is welcome!
