  • Mchenry County Water Resources 2020-9-4 SK-DS 1 MCHENRY
    MCHENRY COUNTY WATER RESOURCES Approximately 10,000 to 20,000 years ago glaciers from the most recent period of glaciation (Wisconsin glaciation) retreated from McHenry County leaving a water-rich tapestry of lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands. As soon as the landscape became more hospitable, Native Americans became regular visitors to McHenry County. Archaeologists have uncovered artifacts that verify the presence of Native Americans in McHenry County extending back 12,000 years before present (BP). Large and small wetlands likely provided the most productive and easily harvested food resources, including game and vegetation, for the earliest people 10. For thousands of years Native Americans of many tribes and cultures migrated through and occupied McHenry County, relying on its abundant natural resources. In the 1800’s, expanding European settlement forced Native American occupants from McHenry County and many man-made changes were implemented that degraded the health of water resources. Changes included converting prairie, wetland and woodland to agriculture; draining or filling wetlands and channelizing streams to increase agricultural land; and grading or paving over land for residential and commercial development. These changes accelerated as new technologies were introduced and urban development expanded into the countryside. Historically, the native vegetation in McHenry County consisted predominantly of deep rooted plant species that held soils in place, protected soil from erosion, intercepted and stored rainfall, and sequestered organic carbon in the soil. The canopy and roots of trees in woodlands, another historically dominant plant community in the county, were also capable of intercepting, storing and transpiring rainfall. The canopy and interconnected root systems of the native vegetation acted as a sponge capable of absorbing, storing, and transpiring tremendous volumes of water, thereby reducing the potential for flooding and promoting the infiltration of groundwater.

  • City of Harvard Comprehensive Plan APPENDIX B: Existing Conditions Report
    City of Harvard Comprehensive Plan APPENDIX B: Existing Conditions Report April 2015 Acknowledgements Funding Acknowledgement This project was supported through the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s (CMAP) Local Technical Assistance (LTA) program, which is funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), and the Chicago Community Trust. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (MMC) and CMAP would like to thank these funders for their support for this project. Unless otherwise specified, all photos are by CMAP staff. 2 Table of Contents Introduction 4 Housing and Population 41 Regional Context 9 Economic Development 56 Previous Plans 13 Transportation 69 Community Engagement 18 Natural Environment 89 Governance and Community Services 25 Looking Forward 112 Land Use and Development 31 3 3 1. Introduction The City of Harvard has decided to update its comprehensive plan, which will define the vision of the City’s future and the steps needed to achieve that vision. Having an accurate understanding of the existing conditions in the City is necessary in order to develop an appropriate and effective comprehensive plan that addresses the issues and concerns of the community. Why Does Harvard Need a Comprehensive Plan? The history of the City of Harvard begins with its rich agricultural lands and the connection the railroad provided to the larger markets in the Chicago region. Responding to the demands of local farmers as well as the railroad, manufacturing industries took root and the community grew rapidly. Harvard continues to boast a small-town feel nestled in among farm fields and open spaces that is quite distinct from other places in the region.
