Sustainability Summit award applications available
The MWRD is accepting applications from Cook County individuals, organizations and
businesses for its 2020 Biosolids Beneficial Reuse and Sustainable Landscaping Awards
until September 15.
The awards recognize the activities and innovations from entities, such as park 
districts, villages, schools, golf courses and athletic clubs in two separate categories:
Sustainable Landscaping and Beneficial Use of Exceptional Quality (EQ) Biosolids
 and EQ Compost. EQ Biosolids and EQ compost are products of the MWRD's water treatment
process that are used as soil amendments and sustainable alternative to other materials.
The beneficial use of EQ Biosolids and EQ Compost may be demonstrated through any
one or a combination of the following:

* Continuous commitment to maximize the use of EQ Biosolids or compost to improve
the cost-effectiveness of landscape management.
* Promotion such as, but not limited to, referrals and field demonstrations of EQ
Biosolids or EQ Compost.
* Educational efforts on the environmental/economic benefits of using EQ Biosolids
or EQ Compost.
Qualifications for the Sustainable Landscaping award may be demonstrated through
 the innovative use of green infrastructure, capital investment, and how an individual
or organization promotes green landscaping to educate the community. The goal is
 to present an award to an individual or community that integrates sustainable practices
in the environment that manages stormwater. For the purpose for the award, green
 infrastructure includes:

* Rainwater Harvesting, i.e. through rain barrels
* Rain Gardens
* Native Landscaping
* Stormwater Trees
* Porous Pavement
* Bioswales
* Green Roofs
* Greenways
* Wetlands
* Green Alleys, Streets, and Parking Lots
Activities completed after January 1, 2015 are eligible for an award, and an individual
or organization is eligible once every five years. Submittals should include figures,
illustrations, narrative, and photos to help further explain the efforts. The evaluation
process may include a site visit.
This year's awards applications will be accepted electronically. They are available
now at https://mwrd.org/sustainability-summit-2020-awards-applications [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-e6L2hnJizEjHkCwoKUlDSy9BakHuyExvWowmDM4PM8nyBuLIJkV7uBmOKNu8QIGHIsxS3_wX8HjqwXVcMbxhepF6XkzIS2okIz3t0SnK08HJ07Qx3cg5xw4FvS4UWj6WGwMKABN8QkcDHbV89vaFYTbrjItU33-gLVRWerfwi-9exRb4qZKP7yqJr4atU5WYBioKuPOt8fKqtoS-ma7l2keP1o4gHYs&c=MhgFoP7BxYCUd4VnByd3r1bzDdqbB5FMN6hq40Xg0g8Dkt9YIXuPjQ==&ch=Zx07Oe2zmDncXTAQZkmSW9LLziUKoHAkdEgxWiHkrCDbNXoBWhFljQ==].

No Wipes Down the Pipes!
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for household cleaning items, including
disinfecting wipes, paper towels and toilet paper which have sometimes been hard
 to find. As a result, some have turned to alternatives such as "flushable" wipes
and other paper products.
In this educational video, MWRD President Kari K. Steele demonstrates how various
products do not break down or dissolve sufficiently in water, and as a result, those
materials can clog pipes and cause sewer backups in homes and neighborhoods. Remember,
only flush pee, poop and toilet paper!

MWRD Board of Commissioners Recognize Juneteenth as Holiday Option for Employees
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On June 19, the MWRD joined the state of Illinois in lowering our flags to celebrate
Juneteenth to mark the 155th anniversary of the ending of slavery in the United 
States. It was on this day in 1865 when Major General Gordon Granger and his Union
soldiers marched into Galveston, Texas with the news that the Civil War had ended
and proclaimed "absolute equality of rights" to liberate the country's last remaining
enslaved people. Juneteenth is recognized as a state holiday in 47 states.  Current
events demonstrate that the struggle for equality continues and that the past must
not be forgotten.
In recognition of the importance of Juneteenth as the oldest known celebration of
emancipation of slaves in the United States, MWRD officials sought a way to more
 fully recognize the day. Although Juneteenth is observed each year on June 19, 
the occasion is officially celebrated in Illinois on the third Saturday in June.
 With this change, the MWRD gives employees the choice to use June 19 as their one
additional holiday selection each year. In addition to Juneteenth, the additional
holiday choices for MWRD employees include the days preceding or following Thanksgiving
Day, Christmas Day or New Year's Day.

down during storms from the derecho on Aug. 10. If left unattended, this debris 
could cause stream blockages and lead to flooding. Report blockages and debris in
streams by calling (312) 787-3575 or by visiting this link [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001-e6L2hnJizEjHkCwoKUlDSy9BakHuyExvWowmDM4PM8nyBuLIJkV7r66lQEmb8ss0p2l2rpR67q6KzLdZQiO8o4fFKiKunZt6JVY96wVSVna5xIQBmIJ_i2vrURdQYksP9hvvThMNmMc6xLbuXwmuOpykoWsyfFyBvre_InsKL3-LzniE7V4eA==&c=MhgFoP7BxYCUd4VnByd3r1bzDdqbB5FMN6hq40Xg0g8Dkt9YIXuPjQ==&ch=Zx07Oe2zmDncXTAQZkmSW9LLziUKoHAkdEgxWiHkrCDbNXoBWhFljQ==].

IEPA grant boosts MWRD with energy efficiency lighting
A generous grant is now yielding major energy savings for one of the world's largest
wastewater treatment plants. Thanks to a $1.5-million grant from the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (IEPA) Office of Energy, the MWRD's Stickney Water Reclamation
 Plant (WRP) was able to upgrade its lighting and HVAC controls for maximum energy
efficiency. The upgrades are reducing lighting energy consumption by more than 50
percent for approximately 7,474 fixtures that were replaced or retrofitted.
The Stickney WRP serves 2.3 million people living in Chicago and 46 suburban communities
within 260 square miles of Cook County. The plant can treat up to 1.44-billion gallons
of water per day, or 1-million gallons per minute, making it one of the largest 
treatment plants in the world to provide full secondary treatment by volume. In 
2019, the plant treated more than 800 million gallons per day, which required considerable
energy to pump and convey water. The energy efficiency upgrades provide critical
 savings to plant operations and benefit taxpayers.
