FLINT CREEK WATERSHED PROJECT

The Flint Creek Watershed Partnership is comprised of watershed stakeholders dedicated to the preservation , protection and improvement of the Flint Creek sub-watershed of the Fox River.  Our mission is to realize a long-term vision for a healthy watershed and educated citizens.  Our goal is to educate while building partnerships for projects to improve water quality, reduce flooding and preserve and restore wetlands, prairies and other natural features for future generations.

 

The partnership received start up funding for 2005-2006 from Barrington Area Development Council and Citizens for Conservation; Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) recently awarded it a Management Assistance grant for 2006-2007.  Our first project is to update the 1994 Watershed Management Plan to current standards for federal grant eligibility.  Grants help defray the costs of projects as diverse as stream bank restoration along the creek as well as detention and wetland upgrades throughout the watershed.  The first step of the project is a stream inventory this summer by SMC interns.  They will survey both Cook and Lake County portions of the creek starting at the mouth in Lake Barrington where Flint Creek enters the Fox River and working upstream toward the source of the north branch of the creek in Lake Zurich and the main stem sources in Barrington and Inverness.  The inventory will take about five weeks.  Homeowners will be notified when definite dates are available.

 

Current partners include the Barrington Area Development Council, Citizens for Conservation, the Barrington Area  Council of Governments, Barrington Hills Conservation Trust, Barrington Township, Cuba Township and village governments.  The partnership meets at 10 am the 4th Monday of the month at different locations in the watershed.  Any landowner on the creek or in the watershed is welcome to attend.  Please contact the watershed coordinator, Patsy Mortimer at (847) 381-8663, pmortimer@earthlink.net, if you have any questions.
