Signed Charles M. “Tice” Cole, P.E., PTOE Page 1 Page 2 of 4 MEETING MINUTES Transmitted via email November 13, 2018 CMT No. 16242-02-00 1.Meeting Purpose Coordinate with stakeholder, Plainfield Park District, regarding project and section 4(f) impacts. Coordinate with Park District regarding their newly acquired (after 143rd Street Phase I Study Completion) property behind the U‐Store‐It facility along the DuPage River. Coordinate future bicycle and pedestrian plans. 2.Introduction and Overview The Village of Plainfield explained some of the background of the project. Plainfield has entered into an Agreement with the State of Illinois to use federal funds to study, design and construct a new street known as 143rd Street between Illinois Route 59 and Illinois Route 126 (the Project). A report was prepared for the project in accordance with IDOT and FHWA policies and procedures and was approved by IDOT on December 17, 2014. On March 9, 2016 for Plainfield approved a contract to begin construction plans and land acquisition for the project. During the construction plan preparation process, Plainfield was informed by Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) that the originally approved alignment that was to occupy a portion of ComEd’s property, is no longer feasible due to recent market and regulatory changes pertaining to electricity generation and transmission. Plainfield and IDOT representatives met July 17, 2018 to review the project options in response to ComEd’s position. IDOT and Plainfield mutually agreed it would be necessary to move the proposed roadway facilities out of ComEd property. Plainfield and CMT have considered those options and determined that shifting the alignment to the north can avoid the permanent parallel impacts to the ComEd corridor. Plainfield will be amending the study report and reaching out to stakeholders as part of the study update. CMT noted that with the Park District’s acquisition of this property along the corridor, the property would have been impacted with both the original alignment and the shifted alignment. Both would preserve the Park District’s ability to implement an extension of the DuPage River Trail under the proposed bridge. 3.Reference – DuPage River Trail From Village of Plainfield Transportation Plan See Exhibit A. The DuPage River Trail is an important regional trail within the planning area. It is planned to run continuously from Naperville to the I&M Canal Trail in Channahon. Completion of this trail is a goal of the Plainfield Park District. The trail will run through the heart of the Village, connecting downtown with surrounding neighborhoods and recreational amenities like Mather Woods, Settler‘s Park and Eaton Preserve. Many sections along this trail are currently incomplete. The Park District has been actively seeking grants to assist in trail completion. While outside the planning area, future connections of the trail network to the surrounding trail systems of Will and Kendall County are recognized and indicated on the trails map. Page 2 Page 3 of 4 MEETING MINUTES Transmitted via email November 13, 2018 CMT No. 16242-02-00 4. Previous Improvements/Accommodations with the Original alignment See Exhibit B. CMT stated that the original plan was to preserve a future pedestrian connection over the DuPage River with the new bridge and to preserve a future extension of the DuPage River Trail to the north. Specifically, there would be a sidewalk facility added to the north side of the proposed bridge to accommodate pedestrians. It would be separated from vehicular traffic by a barrier wall. As part of the improvements, property would be acquired from U‐Store‐ It, including a small piece that has now been divided and purchased by the Park District. In addition, the remainder of the property divided and purchased by the Park District was planned for a permanent drainage easement to construct compensatory storage for filling in the floodplain of the DuPage River. Earthwork grading to provide a connection from the sidewalk at the west end of the bridge to the future DuPage River Trail could be completed by the Park District in conjunction with the extension of the DuPage River Trail. 5. Proposed Improvements/Accommodations with the Shifted Alignment See Exhibit C. CMT stated that the most recent coordination with the Illinois Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration would necessitate the implementation of the complete streets policy along the corridor. The sidewalk on the north side of the bridge would become a bike path. With the shift in the alignment, the improvements on the Park District Property would include the 143rd Street Bridge over the DuPage River and a portion of a drainage infiltration basin. Earthwork grading would be provided to connect from the path at the west end of the bridge to the future DuPage River Trail. The Park District asked about the clearance of the path underneath the proposed 143rd Street bridge over the DuPage River. CMT stated the original clearance would provide a minimum of 9 feet of clearance. See Exhibit B Page 2. CMT will design the shifted alignment profile of 143rd Street to meet at least 10 feet of clearance at the proposed future crossing of the DuPage River Trail per the IDOT Bureau of Design and Environment Manual. 6. DuPage River Trail Project Across Chicago Bridge and Iron Property See Exhibits C and D. The Plainfield Park District stated that they had run into difficulties attaining the path easement from Chicago Bridge & Iron due to coordination issues on the CB&I side with back and forth between their Chicago and Texas offices on the responsibilities of this coordination. The Village of Plainfield stated they would be talking to Chicago Bridge and Iron as a 143rd Street project stakeholder and would bring up the future DuPage River Trail during the meeting. 7. DuPage River Trail Project Across the Prairie Creek Development See Exhibit D. The Park District stated that the ownership changed approximately 6 months ago, and no progress had been made during that time. Discussions were held with the previous Page 3 Page 4 of 4 MEETING MINUTES Transmitted via email November 13, 2018 CMT No. 16242-02-00 owner, but no easements had been attained. The Park District stated that crossing the East Norman Drain from the west side to the east side would be achieved north of the 143rd Street project limits. 8. Path Connections to the North and West See Exhibit D. The Park District stated they would desire to connect the residential area west of IL 59 and north of Hazelcrest Drive to the DuPage River Trail. The Park District would desire to cross IL 59 with a path near Joseph Avenue or 135th Street. If at Joseph Avenue, then the Park District said they would want a signal for the crossing. The Park District stated they would not be interested in crossing IL 59 at 143rd Street and that the land uses at that location were not desirable for path connections. CMT stated that the culvert extension of US 30 / 143rd Street over the West Norman Drain could accommodate a future path on the south of the road. The Village of Plainfield stated that the Transportation Plan did not include a planned path on 143rd Street from Van Dyke Road to IL 59. The Village of Plainfield stated that a grade separation of 143rd Street over the Canadian National Railroad would be desired in the long term. 9. Path through the ComEd Corridor See Exhibits E and F. The Park District stated that they were interested in achieving a connection between the DuPage River Trail and the Avery Preserve / Four Seasons Park. This would include both the 143rd Street Extension from IL 59 to IL 126 ComEd Corridor as well as the Lockport Connector from IL 126 / 143rd Street to Lockport Street ComEd Corridor. The Village of Plainfield stated that the Lockport Street Connector would only be implemented if the Lockport Street interchange at I‐55 is implemented. The Park District stated they had worked with ComEd before on implementing paths on ComEd transmission corridor property. They stated the existing path, parallel to US 30 and the Canadian National Railroad, between 127th Street and 135th Street, is an example.

Signed Charles M. “Tice” Cole, P.E., PTOE Page 25 Meeting Purpose The purpose of the meeting was for the Village of Plainfield to request a Letter of Financial Support from Plainfield Park District for a DuPage River Path extension as part of the 143rd Street Extension project. Another purpose of the meeting was to determine the Park District’s interest in land acquisition on ComEd property between Naperville Road and IL 126 for a path to meet IDOT Complete Streets requirements for 143rd Street. DuPage River Trail The Village of Plainfield requested the Park District write a letter of intent for financial support to fund their portion of the DuPage River Trail Extension. The extension (See Exhibit A – red dotted line) would begin at the current river trail cul-de-sac south of the ComEd property and extend across the ComEd property (See Exhibit A – purple shaded area) to the north end of the Park District Property (See Exhibit A – orange shaded area). The Village of Plainfield stated they would fund/construct/maintain the connection from the river trail path (See Exhibit A – blue dotted line) to the path now proposed on the 143rd Street Bridge over the DuPage River (See Exhibit A – black dotted line). The Park District requested that the Village bring up their desire to extend the river trail across the Chicago Bridge and Iron (CB&I) property (See Exhibit A – white dotted line) when the Village of Plainfield spoke to CB&I as part of the 143rd Street Extension project. The Park District would like CB&I to contact them. The Village agreed to fulfill that request when meeting with CB&I. The Village and Park District jointly reviewed the parcels that ComEd owns in the area of the River Trail Extension. It appeared that two ComEd parcels would be impacted by the extension due to a section line running east-west through the corridor in this area. The Park District stated that they were not sure of any existing leases on the ComEd property in the existing cul-de-sac area and would need to follow up with that information. 143rd Street Complete Streets Accommodation The Village explained to the Park District that IDOT would require a complete streets accommodation for the 143rd Street Extension project. This section of 143rd Street was originally planned without accommodations for a path (Bureau of Local Roads and Streets project with no complete streets requirement). 143rd Street from IL 59 to IL 126 is planned to be jurisdictionally transferred to Plainfield subsequent to construction completion. The state-required complete streets accommodation is typically completed within the existing/proposed State ROW. With the potential shift in the alignment towards the north, to avoid the road going through ComEd property, this will increase impacts to properties to the north. Further increasing the corridor typical section width to accommodate a path will further increase impacts to the north. The Village would like investigate measures to minimize impacts and reduce costs. Since a path is something that ComEd has historically allowed on their property, because it doesn’t generally interfere with their transmission lines, the Village is interested in putting the path on ComEd property as a potential solution to minimize property impacts Page 26 to the north (See Exhibit B – yellow dotted line). The Park District confirmed that they have other easements within ComEd ROW for Park District paths, but these are 10-year leases, not easements. The Park District stated the lease is over the entire property, not just the area of the path. The Park District stated they are currently going through a process of renewing some of these leases. The Park District noted that ComEd does not manage conflicting leases on the same property, e.g. farming by one party and paths by a separate party on the same property. ComEd leaves it to the lease parties to resolve any conflicts. The Village of Plainfield stated that IDOT would require any kind of accommodation to include a permanent easement (subsequent to this meeting IDOT stated FHWA may allow for a 20-year lease subject to reviewing the terms and conditions of the lease) before the improvement could be released for construction. Since the future path would be a park district path to eventually connect to Four Seasons Park and Avery Preserve (See Exhibit B – light blue dotted line), the Village asked if the Park District was willing to acquire a lease on the ComEd property for the path as part of the 143rd Street Extension project. The Park District stated they would follow up with an answer after the Village confirmed this solution could be acceptable IDOT and FHWA. The Village and Park District jointly reviewed the parcels that ComEd owns in the area between Naperville Road and Illinois Route 126. It appeared that ComEd owns two parcels. CMT noted that the design for a path/sidewalk spur connection from Copper Drive to the 143rd Street Path along Illinois Route 126 (See Exhibit B – green dotted line along IL 126) could avoid a 3rd ComEd parcel at the southwest quadrant of Illinois 126 at 143rd Street. Note this south leg of IL 126 at the intersection of IL 126 would become under the jurisdiction of Plainfield as part of the jurisdictional transfer. This potential spur would not be the Park District’s responsibility. Action Items: 1. Park District identify existing ComEd lease information, if any, for property at River Trail cul-de-sac. 2. Park District send letter of financial support to Village for river trail extension construction costs as part of the 143rd Street Extension project. 3. Village follow up with IDOT and FHWA regarding sufficiency of Park District lease on ComEd property to meet complete streets requirements.

Signed Charles M. “Tice” Cole, P.E., PTOE Page 30 A meeting was held with Plainfield Park District (Park District), the Village of Plainfield (Village), and CMT on June 6, 2019 at Plainfield Public Works. The meeting began at 11:00 am. 1. Introductions: 2. Recent Coordination: a. Village explained to Park District that they had met Bass and Gill Club Stakeholder to discuss an alignment shift to the north. The Village is looking at three ways to minimize impacts to the club including: a narrower median, retaining wall instead of fill slopes, and bike path on ComEd property. The club preferred the path on the south of proposed 143rd Street and away from their property. The club supported a narrower median if IDOT would allow it. The club representatives had mixed support of fill versus retaining wall. b. IDOT has since confirmed they would support a design exception to decrease the median width. c. IDOT has stated that building the path as part of the 143rd Street project between Naperville Road and IL 126 on ComEd Property with a 20-year lease would meet their complete streets requirements. d. The Village and CMT met with ComEd on May 20, 2019. ComEd stated they were agreeable to 20-year proposed lease, instead of a 10-year lease, for a path on their facility. e. The Village stated the cost of the path was to be split approximately 80/20 federal to local. 3. Complete Streets Accommodation Discussion: a. The Village proposed to fund and construct a multi-use path for the Park District between Naperville Road and IL 126. The Park District agreed. b. The Village proposed the Park district purchase 20-year leases from ComEd for the path between Naperville Road and IL 126 and take ownership/maintenance of the path. The Park District agreed. c. CMT stated in order to fulfill ComEd requirements for offset distances to transmission and distribution lines, the Park District must choose if they want multi-use path north or south side of ComEd corridor. The Park District stated they prefer the path to be along the north side of the Com-Ed corridor. d. The Park District recommended building a path as part of the project along the west side of IL 126 from 143rd Street to Copper Drive for a logical path terminus. The Village agreed. e. The group reviewed properties that would require leases from ComEd and which properties already had leases from ComEd. The group identified one additional lease would be needed for the DuPage River Trail extension and two leases would be needed for the path between Naperville Road and IL 126. f. The Park District stated board approval won’t likely be necessary to obtain the leases for this multi-use path. g. CMT stated the section 4(f) document would be prepared showing a permanent easement to the Park District for the DuPage River Trail extension when the Page 31 Village purchases the Park District parcel along the River for the 143rd Street project. h. The Specifications of the multi-use path are to follow IDOT / Plainfield standards. i. The Park District requested a construction cost estimate for the River Trail extension in preparation of an intergovernmental agreement between the Park District and the Village. j. CMT asked what the Park District would like to do with the River Trail loop, south of the proposed DuPage River Bridge. The Park District requested the Loop in the River Trail stay and a path connection be made. k. The Park District requested the Village include them in future stakeholder coordination with CB & I in order to discuss future plans for River Trail extension to the north. The Village agreed. l. The Village offered any information the Park District may need when the Park District works to attain ComEd lease agreements. 4. Action Items: a. CMT to send Park District proposed improvements Strip Map from meeting (completed June 6, 2019). b. CMT to revise River Trail Extension concept per Park District input regarding existing loop. c. CMT to provide Park District with cost estimate of River Trail Extension. d. CMT to develop Section 4(f) impacts and coordinate with Park District and IDOT before Public Meeting in early Fall. e. Park District to attain the three additional 20-year leases identified for project paths. f. Village to schedule meeting with CB&I and invite Park District. g. Park District to prepare a letter of intent regarding project-related items. h. Village to begin drafting intergovernmental agreement with the Park District for all of the project-related items. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 12:00 pm.

Signed Mike Wittkop, PE Page 59 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Meeting Minutes Date: January 2, 2019 Page 2 of 5 CMT No. 18024201.00 A meeting was held with Village of Plainfield, CMT, and Bass & Gill Club representatives on January 2, 2019 at the Village of Plainfield Public Works offices. The meeting began at 2:00pm 1. Introductions: 2. Background and History: a. CMT provided the presentation presented to the Village Board on November 11, 2018 (see attached). b. Intent of the project is to reroute IL Rte 126 out of downtown Plainfield. IDOT is onboard with this plan. c. Work has been ongoing on the project beginning in 2005. d. Original Alignment went through ComEd’s property and was coordinated to coexist with the overhead electric facilities. e. In late 2017 ComEd ascertained that their needs have changed and that they are planning to expand the transmission facilities in this corridor. As such, ComEd dictated that the roadway could no longer coexist with their facilities. i. Steve questioned if ComEd could permit the roadway and utilize alternate property to expand in the future. CMT noted that this very option was suggested to ComEd. ComEd stated that they need to expand within their existing property for several reasons including but not limited to maintenance, permitting, and span lengths. f. Several adjusted alignments to the roadway have been considered to move the improvements outside of ComEd’s property. i. The outcome of the alignment analysis is shifting the improvements to the north as presented in the attached materials. ii. Steve noted that the alignment encroaches upon the Bass & Gill property. iii. The adjusted alignment will be reviewed by IDOT and the FHWA prior to work beginning on the final engineering for the project. Impacts of the adjusted alignment will be compared with other alternatives during the current preliminary engineering phase to develop the ultimate preferred alignment. 3. Funding and Schedule: a. Anticipated total project cost of $53-58 million. b. Secured a $20 million grant in 2018. c. Additional grant funding is being pursued. d. Update the previously approved study in 2019 including public and property owner meetings. e. Prepare construction documents and acquire property for the improvements in 2020 and 2021. f. Construction in 2022 and 2023. Page 60 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Meeting Minutes Date: January 2, 2019 Page 3 of 5 CMT No. 18024201.00 4. Access and Field Work: a. CMT provided a handout and aerial exhibit of the project area (see attached). b. The aerial exhibit depicts the limits of environmental, survey, and geotechnical investigations. i. Surveyors 1. Determine existing topography on land and water. Will utilize handheld instruments and a boat and RC boat to determine the ground under the water. ii. Environmental Scientists 1. Staff will be walking the area determining presents of wetlands, trees, potential for threatened and endangered species, and monitoring existing ambient noise in the area. iii. Geotechnical Engineers 1. Perform subsurface soil investigations. 2. Soil borings on land will be obtained with an ATV drill rig. 3. Soil borings within the Bass & Gill lake will be performed with an ATV drill rig with access via barges. 4. Anticipated boring locations are shown in the aerial exhibit. c. The intent of this work is to gather data to verify property limits and existing conditions of the area. d. Steve noted that underpass under IL Rte 126 is the sole access for the club to cross IL Rte 126. CMT noted that this access will be maintained, and the culvert likely extended to incorporate the roadway improvements. e. The Village added that they will share all data obtained with the Bass & Gill Club at no cost. f. Steve stated that it is acceptable for the Village and persons representing CMT and their subconsultants to access the Bass & Gill property to perform the survey, environmental, and geotechnical investigations. g. Letter of Access: i. A letter of access dated December 18, 2018 was presented to Steve, see attached. ii. The Village noted that all persons working on this project will have a copy of this letter on their persons. h. Bass & Gill Site Contact i. The facilities are locked at all times. ii. Steve noted that there is an onsite caretaker that should be contacted to gain access: Bob Salinas trailer phone: 815.436.4563 mobile phone: 708.542.8464 Page 61 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Meeting Minutes Date: January 2, 2019 Page 4 of 5 CMT No. 18024201.00 5. Study and Design Topics: a. CMT noted that the proposed improvements will consist of a four-lane roadway with curb and a storm sewer system. b. Pond Depth: Steve believed the pond depth to vary from 3-feet upwards to 10-feet. c. Improvements facing the Bass & Gill property: i. The existing southern limit of the property is currently a steep and forested bank. ii. When questioned what the club would like to see, Steve would like to see the project provide a vegetated slope similar to the existing conditions. Steve noted that members will likely have concerns with additional noise, blocking the view of the roadway and vehicles, and providing an aesthetic and environmentally friendly solution. iii. It was noted that this will be taken into consideration and that several options will be considered moving forward and may potentially include filling a portion of the pond, walls, or a combination thereof. iv. The Village noted that any water surface that is filled for the improvements will be replaced at a ratio designated by the regulatory agencies. Essentially, the pond will need to be expanded to account for any fill because the pond is within a regulated floodplain. The southeast corner of the pond was suggested as a potential area. 6. Issues and Concerns: a. Hunting and Fishing Seasons: i. Duck hunting season has concluded. ii. Goose hunting season ends January 17, 2019. iii. Archery Deer hunting season ends January 20, 2019. iv. Steve noted to avoid impacts to fishing that boring work should occur prior to April. v. Steve noted that there is a hunting blind on the south bank of the pond within the area that data gathering will occur. vi. Persons working on Bass & Gill property shall wear safety vests to aid in identification. b. Water Quality: i. Steve brought up concern over additional deicing salts entering the Bass & Gill waterways. ii. A commitment of the original study was to treat the storm water prior to entering the Bass & Gill facilities. iii. This commitment will be upheld, and engineers will re-evaluate these environmental concerns. Page 62 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Meeting Minutes Date: January 2, 2019 Page 5 of 5 CMT No. 18024201.00 c. Drainage: i. Steve noted that there are existing drainage concerns on their facilities. ii. Pond Between Lake Drive and 135th Street: 1. Steve noted that a culvert was installed under 135th Street connecting the ponds on the north and south sides of 135th Street as part of the Lakelands subdivision. 2. The club believes that their pond south of 135th Street has experienced increased flooding conditions after the installation of this culvert. iii. Steve noted that the water level of their ponds does fluctuate slightly but was uncertain on exact data. d. USACE / EPA: i. Steve noted that the club is within a floodplain and that they have had experiences with the USACE and EPA. ii. It was acknowledged that there is an existing floodplain. The data that will be collected will assist in analyzing the existing conditions of the area, better analyze alternatives, and aid in permitting with the various agencies. 7. Open Discussion: a. Original ownership of the property is believed to be Material Service. Steve believed that they strip mined the area to bedrock. Bass & Gill leased the property until the 1980’s when they purchased the property. b. Bass & Gill Board Meetings i. Meetings held the first Wednesday of the month ii. The Village noted that they are open to attending board meetings if desired by the club iii. Alternative options will likely be available late this summer. c. I-55 Interchange i. Steve questioned the study of potential interchanges with I-55. ii. The Village noted the following: 1. The study is ongoing. 2. Likely reconfigure the existing interchange at IL Rte 126. 3. May include a new interchange at Lockport Street. 4. A new interchange at 143rd Street is not likely due to the proximity to other interchanges.

The meeting began at 7:30pm 1. Introductions: 2. Project History and Background: a. CMT presented the following items regarding the history and background of the project, see attached presentation: i. IDOT roadway process: Phase I, II, and III. ii. Historical Village Comprehensive plan to re-route US 30 and IL 126 out of downtown Plainfield. iii. This project is intended to be transferred to IDOT and become IL 126 and provide regional connectivity. Existing IL 126 become under the jurisdiction of Plainfield. iv. Original Phase I Design within ComEd’s transmission corridor with IDOT approval in 2014. v. In 2018 ComEd determined that due to transmission needs, an expansion of their transmission facilities will need to occur in the future. ComEd determines that the roadway can no longer coexist on ComEd property. vi. In 2018 IDOT and FHWA concurred to update the phase I design by shifting the alignment and noted they are still willing to jurisdictionally transfer the completed roadway to IL 126. 3. Current Design Process: a. Various alignment alternatives are currently being considered to extend 143rd Street from Route 59 to IL 126. b. Primary alternatives are routing the project south of ComEd’s corridor and North of ComEd’s corridor. c. For the purpose of this meeting the discussion concentrated on the northern alignment concepts. d. CMT explained the data collection process for survey, environmental, and geotechnical. It was noted that, in the vicinity of the Bass & Gill Club, geotechnical work is complete, survey work is nearing completion, and environmental work will be ongoing. e. Stormwater: i. Once a preferred alternative is selected, a drainage study will be conducted. ii. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be considered to reduce erosion and contaminates. f. Noise Abatement: i. Existing conditions will be monitored this year ii. A model will be created to determined noise conditions after the completion of this project. iii. The data will be analyzed to determine if a noise abatement should be constructed. To be constructed the abatement must be feasible and reasonable to construct. Page 90 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: May 1, 2019 Page 3 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 g. Land Acquisition: i. CMT outlined the primary types of land acquisition: Fee Simple Acquisition, Permanent Easements, and Temporary Easements. ii. The process of land acquisition was presented including confirmation of ownership, plats, appraisals, negotiations, and eminent domain. The Village added that the appraisal and negotiation process is by an independent third party and not the Village. The intention is to offer fair market value for properties obtained. h. Project Cost: i. Total conceptual cost of the project is estimated at $53-58 million. ii. Approximately 2/3 of this is construction of the road and associated structures. The remaining 1/3 accounts for estimated engineering and land acquisition. iii. Secured Funding: 1. Illinois Competitive Freight Grant $20 million. 2. Will County Governmental League $4.5 million. 3. The Village will have to participate a share of the funding, this varies by fund but is typically 10-20% of the cost. iv. Potential Funding: 1. The Village continues to pursue grant funding. 2. Currently submitted are a Will County Government League grant in the amount of $15 million and an INFRA grant in the amount of $15 million. 3. The Village plans to request $5-6 million for the improvements to the existing IDOT roadways. 4. The Village plans to submit for additional federal grants this year. i. Project Schedule: i. Phase I Study in 2019 ii. Phase II Design and Land Acquisition 2020 – 2021 iii. Phase III Construction 2022 – 2023 4. Northern Alignment Alternative Concepts: a. Generally, the concept alignment has the center of the median approximately 40-feet north of the southern property line owned by Bass & Gill or approximately at the existing water line. b. Compensatory Storage will be required. This requires that any fill within the floodplain be compensated with cutting in the floodplain at 1.5 times the impact. The intension is to prevent flooding issues after the construction of the improvements. Page 91 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: May 1, 2019 Page 4 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 c. Renderings and strip maps of the following options were show, see attached: i. Existing condition ii. Alternative 1: 1. Fill into Fletcher Lake with aggregate such that a retaining wall can be constructed with an estimated wall height 12- 15 feet. 2. Anticipated that compensatory storage could be completed on only Bass & Gill property. iii. Alternative 2A: 1. Fill into Fletcher Lake with aggregate above the water line, then continue to fill with soil to the roadway. 2. Anticipated that compensatory storage could not be completed on only Bass & Gill property. 3. This alternative proposed obtaining additional compensatory storage by acquiring homes along Naperville Road. iv. Alternative 2B: 1. Fill into Fletcher Lake with aggregate above the water line, then continue to fill with soil to the roadway. 2. Anticipated that compensatory storage could not be completed on only Bass & Gill property. 3. This alternative proposed obtaining additional compensatory storage by utilizing temporary easements along Naperville Road with the lake being extended to approximately the western property line of the club. d. A summary of impacts for the various alternatives was presented. 5. Next Steps in the Process: a. Alignment alternatives will continue to be evaluated. b. Meetings with stakeholders, such as this meeting, will continue. c. A public information meeting will be held mid to late 2019. 6. Open Discussion / Bass & Gill Club Comments & Concerns: a. Access Culvert under IL 126 i. The club noted that this is the sole access to travel across IL 126. ii. It was noted that this culvert will remain and may be extended to facilitate the improvements to IL 126 b. Drainage: i. Concerns were brought up of adding more drainage to the lake than currently exists. ii. It was noted that a drainage design has not yet been completed and will occur once a preferred alternative is selected. iii. It was noted the intention is not to add drainage to the lake and an option to drain to the DuPage River will be explored. Page 92 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: May 1, 2019 Page 5 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 c. New lake area provided as compensatory storage and lake mitigation i. The club noted that the area to be potentially filled is a favorite fishing spot for many members. ii. CMT showed a net increase in lake area with the compensatory storage for Fletcher Lake. The Village stated that the compensatory storage areas wouldn’t just achieve required floodplain volumes, but also could be excavated below the normal water level as part of mitigation for the filled lake. iii. The Club would prefer deeper lake areas constructed as part of the mitigation to at least match the depths that were in the areas that were being filled. iv. The Club noted their desire to have any excavated lake area for mitigation be constructed as a habit instead of a typical geometrically monolithic engineering design. v. The Club asked if adding lake areas or dredging areas further north was an option. The Village stated they would have to follow up with what would be allowed under IDOT policy. d. Public Use of the Club Lakes: i. The club noted that they have historical issues keeping the general public out of their lakes, particularly in the southwest quadrant of Fletcher Lake. ii. The club is concerned that if compensatory storage begins at the property line along Naperville Road, that there may be an issue with creating riparian (access) rights to the lake. e. Wildlife: i. The club noted the southwest corner of Fletcher Lake includes an area of land where deer have been seen residing. This is also an area hunted. ii. Concerns of wildlife access were noted. f. Lake Use During Construction: i. Club questioned lake access and fishing during construction. ii. It is anticipated that a silt curtain (in water) and a silt fence (on land) would be implemented to contain any silt disturbed during construction. It is anticipated that the club will have access to the lake outside of this silt curtains and fences. g. Access During Construction: i. Club questioned access to construct the improvements. ii. At this time, it is anticipated that contractors would construct the improvement from properties acquired with fee simple ROW or easements during the land acquisition process. Should a contractor need to utilize areas beyond this, they would need to negotiate this with the club. Page 93 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: May 1, 2019 Page 6 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 h. Club Entrance: i. The entrance to the club is located off of IL 126 in a two-lane section of the roadway. 1. This area of roadway will not be widened by this project 2. Club noted safety concerns utilizing the entrance as there are no left nor right turn lanes on IL 126. This concern will be escalated with increases in traffic after the completion of this project. ii. The Club questioned if another entrance could be provided as part of this project. 1. It was noted that IDOT will likely not support another access point on existing or future 126. 2. Options to add an entrance from existing 143rd Street was requested by the Club and will be explored by CMT with guidance from IDOT. i. Noise Wall: i. Concerns of added noise were brought up. ii. It was noted that a noise study will be completed to determine if this is feasible and reasonable to include in the project. j. Aesthetic View from the Lake: i. Traffic: 1. Concerns were noted regarding addition of traffic to the view from the lake. 2. Options with a sight screen fence could be considered. ii. Retaining Wall Alternative: 1. This alternative would likely include vines along the wall and potentially a form liner surface of the wall. 2. Concerns were brought up regarding loss of natural look. 3. It was noted that these alternative limits impact to the lake. iii. Fill Alternative: 1. The current concept is a 2:1 (Horizontal:Vertical) slope that would likely be planted with native plantings and not mowed. 2. Concerns were brought up on the loss of the natural tree line. 3. It was noted that in order to plant trees, the slope may need to be flattened, thereby increasing the impacts to the lake and adding area needed for compensatory storage. iv. There appears to be Club members in favor of both options with no clear favorite currently. k. Littering: i. Addition of vehicle and truck traffic along Fletcher Lake adds concerns of commuters littering and polluting the lake. ii. An option with a fence of some type could be considered. l. Aeration System: i. It was noted that there the club is operating aeriation system located near the southeast corner of Fletcher Lake. ii. The Village noted that this could be added to the construction contract for the contractor to relocate this facility.

The Club requested pdf’s of the presentation and concept alternatives. The Club would utilize this to share this information with all the members with their newsletter distribution. b. The Club requested investigations into a safer entrance to address existing access safety concerns at IL 126. c. The Club requested compensatory storage calculations. Current calculations for alternative concepts are preliminary and for concepts. The Village will provide formal calculations as part of the drainage study later in the Phase I study.

This meeting serves as a follow-up to the stakeholder meeting with the club held on May 1, 2019. The meeting began at 7:30pm 1. Introductions: a. The attached presentation and exhibits were presented to the club members. For the purpose of this meeting the discussion concentrated on the northern alignment concepts. 2. Project Status Update: a. Project Schedule: i. Phase I Study in 2019 1. Completed tasks: a. Data Collection b. Purpose and Need c. Define Alternative and Evaluation Criteria d. Evaluate Alternatives 2. Tasks to Complete: a. Select Preferred Alternative b. Documents Findings c. Obtain IDOT Design Approval ii. Phase II Design and Land Acquisition 2020 – 2021 iii. Phase III Construction 2022 – 2023 b. Project Funding: i. Total conceptual cost of the project is estimated at $59 million. ii. Secured Funding (57% of project): 1. Illinois Competitive Freight Grant $20 million. 2. Will County Governmental League $4.5 million. 3. The Village has secured $9 million in local funding for the project. iii. Potential Funding: 1. The Village continues to pursue grant funding. 2. Currently submitted are a Will County Government League grant in the amount of $17.5 million and an BUILD grant in the amount of $17.5 million (30% of project). a. The project finished 2nd related to the Will County Government League grant. Award notifications are expected later this year. 3. The Village has request $7.6 million from IDOT for the improvements to the existing IDOT roadways (13% of project). Although the funding is not secured, it is favorable based upon the new Illinois budget approved earlier in 2019. iv. It is likely that by the conclusion of the calendar year the project will be over 75% funded. Page 147 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: September 4, 2019 Page 3 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 3. Field Work Status Update: a. Geotechnical Soil Investigation: i. Soil boring work has concluded on club property. b. Land Survey: i. Topographic survey and property monumentation work has concluded. c. Environmental: i. Wetland delineation has been completed. ii. Tree survey has been completed. iii. Threatened and endangered species survey has been completed. iv. Noise Monitoring is expected to occur in the next week or two. d. Once noise monitoring activities are completed, no additional field work is anticipated on the club property. 4. Northern Alignment Alternative Concepts: a. Generally, the concept alignment has the center of the median approximately 40-feet north of the southern property line owned by Bass & Gill or approximately at the existing water line. b. Compensatory Storage will be required. This requires that any fill within the floodplain be compensated with cutting in the floodplain at 1.5 times the impact. The intent is to prevent creation of flooding issues after the construction of the improvements. c. Renderings and strip maps of the following options were show, see attached: i. Existing condition ii. Alternative 1: 1. Fill into Fletcher Lake with aggregate such that a retaining wall can be constructed with an estimated wall height 12- 15 feet. 2. Anticipated that compensatory storage could be completed on only Bass & Gill property. 3. A fence could be added along the western property line in the vicinity of Naperville Road. iii. Alternative 2: 1. Fill into Fletcher Lake with aggregate above the water line, then continue to fill with soil to the roadway. 2. Anticipated that compensatory storage could not be completed on only Bass & Gill property. 3. This alternative proposed obtaining additional compensatory storage by utilizing temporary easements along Naperville Road with the lake being extended to approximately the western property line of the club. iv. The previous Alternative 2A from the May meeting has been eliminated based upon feedback received. This alternative required residential displacement to provide adequate compensatory storage. Page 148 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: September 4, 2019 Page 4 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 d. Since May the alternatives have been updated as follows: i. Confirmation has been obtained from IDOT and ComEd that the multi-use path may be constructed on ComEd property. ii. The multi-use path will be constructed under this project to meet IDOT requirements. The Park District has agreed to enter into a lease agreement with ComEd and to take maintenance jurisdiction of the path through ComEd property. iii. IDOT has confirmed it acceptable to have a design variance to decrease the width of the median from 18-feet to 8-feet. iv. Included a sight screen or noise wall between the roadway and Fletcher Lake. Once the noise analysis is completed a determination will be made on the type, sight screen or noise wall. v. Included snow storage between the sight screen / noise wall and the roadway. This area will drain toward the roadway. e. A summary of impacts for the various alternatives was presented. 5. Illinois Route 126 Underpass: a. The existing 46-foot underpass is proposed to be widened by nearly 45- feet to facilitate the new intersection with 143rd Street. b. In addition to the widening, the work would include: i. Rehabilitation of the existing structure ii. New wingwalls iii. Signage for vertical clearance iv. Drop-off protection c. The existing vertical clearance would be maintained. d. During the 100-year storm event the Lily Cache Creek overtops into Main Lake and into the underpass. For this reason, compensatory storage will be provided for fill in this area. The compensatory storage will be land based and not impact Main Lake itself. e. A rendering of the proposed improvement was shown. 6. Next Steps in the Process: a. Select a preferred alternative. b. Update study for shifted alignment. c. Meetings with stakeholders, such as this meeting, will continue. d. A public information meeting will be held on September 24, 2019. The meeting will be open to the general public from 6 to 8pm at the Village of Plainfield Village Hall. 7. Open Discussion / Bass & Gill Club Comments & Concerns: a. Drainage: i. Concerns were brought up of adding more drainage to the lake than currently exists. ii. It was noted that a drainage design has not yet been completed and will occur once a preferred alternative is selected. iii. It was noted the intention is not to add drainage to the lake and an option to drain the roadway and associated roadway particulate to the DuPage River and away from Fletcher Lake will be explored. Page 149 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: September 4, 2019 Page 5 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 b. New lake area provided as compensatory storage and lake mitigation: i. The club noted that there are deep holes in the vicinity of the project of likely eight to ten feet. It was noted that these pockets are essential to fish habitat and there was concern of fish kill. ii. The Village stated that the compensatory storage areas wouldn’t just achieve required floodplain volumes (above the normal water elevation), but also could be excavated below the normal water level as part of mitigation for the filled lake. iii. The Club would prefer deeper lake areas constructed as part of the mitigation to at least match the depths that were in the areas that were being filled. iv. The Club noted their desire to have any excavated lake area for mitigation be constructed as a habit instead of a typical geometrically monolithic engineering design. c. Mapping: i. It was clarified that the topographic survey work included underwater survey for a portion of Fletcher Lake. ii. The Club requested a map of this data. d. Deicing Chemical Concerns: i. Based upon input from the May meeting, fencing and snow storage has been included in the alternatives. ii. Club members questioned the height of the fencing. iii. It was noted that this aspect remains to be designed and it could be six to eight feet in height. iv. Club members noted that the height may need to be increased. It was pointed out that some plow configurations have the capability to transfer snow (and deicing chemicals) a substantial height and distance, especially at greater speeds. The anticipated posted speed of the new 143rd Street is 40-mph. e. Access During Construction: i. Club questioned access to construct the improvements, specifically the Illinois Route 126 underpass. ii. It is anticipated that construction activities will require access to the underpass to be closed. iii. Temporary access points would be provided to ensure that the Club members have access to the facilities. iv. If required to maintain club security, then temporary access points could be gated and secured as part of the construction project. v. CMT questioned if there was a time of year that would be more convenient to the Club for this construction to occur. The Club noted that as they are both a hunting and fishing club there is no season that wouldn’t impact a portion of the club. Page 150 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: September 4, 2019 Page 6 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 f. Club Entrance: i. The entrance to the club is located off of IL 126 in a two-lane section of the roadway. ii. Speed Limit Concerns: 1. The posted speed limit in the vicinity of the entrance is 55- mph. 2. The Club noted that this speed limit was in place prior to the development of subdivisions in the area and there is concern if this speed limit should be reduced. 3. It was noted that the Club could request that IDOT perform a speed study in the area to determine if the speed limit should be reduced. iii. Addition of turn lanes: 1. Club noted existing safety concerns utilizing the entrance as there are no left nor right turn lanes on IL 126. The club noted concern that traffic will increase after the completion of this project. 2. It was noted that traffic is not anticipated to substantially increase as the entrance is on existing IL 126 and the designation of the roadway at the entrance will not be impacted. At the conclusion of the project the traffic from the south leg of the intersection will instead come from a new west leg of the intersection of IL 126 and 143rd Street. 3. It was noted that the club entrance is outside of the established IDOT study limit and widening of the entrance would not be part of this project. The club could utilize this as a negotiation point in the land acquisition process. g. USACE Permitting: i. It was noted that the project will be permitted through the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Chicago District. ii. The Club questioned if the USACE has made a jurisdictional determination. iii. The USACE is in the process of implementing updated rules on making the jurisdictional determination. The request has been submitted for evaluation but is awaiting the implementation of the new rules. The jurisdictional determination is expected later this year. iv. The Club requested a copy of the jurisdictional determination request submitted to the USACE h. Alternative Specific Comments: i. Alternative 1 – Combination Fill & Retaining Wall: 1. The Club questioned maintenance responsibility. 2. The owner of the wall and bank would be responsible for the maintenance. It is proposed that these items be owned by the Village / IDOT and not be the responsibility of the Club. Page 151 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: September 4, 2019 Page 7 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 ii. Alternative 2 – Fill Only: 1. The Club questioned if trees could be planted on the slope. 2. It was noted that the slopes shown are 2:1 (H:V) and it was uncertain if this was too steep for planting. It was additionally noted that trees are capable of growing in some extreme instances, noting the tree growing atop of the Illinois Route 126 culvert. i. Agreements: i. The Club questioned if creation of new habitat needs to be a separate agreement with the Village or part of the land acquisition process? ii. The intent is to transfer the roadway to IDOT jurisdiction in the future. The Club noted concerns of agreements terms with the Village not being transferred in the process. 8. Action Items: a. CMT will provide the Club pdf’s of the presentation and concept alternatives for this meeting and the May meeting. The Club requested this to share with the club members. b. CMT will provide a copy of the USACE Request for Jurisdictional Determination to the Club as requested. c. CMT will provide a contour map to the Club for their reference based upon the topographic and underwater survey conducted as requested. d. The Village encouraged the club members to attend the public information meeting for the project scheduled for September 24, 2019. The meeting will be open to the general public from 6 to 8pm at the Village of Plainfield Village Hall. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:10pm 9. Post Meeting: a. In an email of September 5, 2019 from Steve Beese (Club President) to Randy Jessen (Village of Plainfield) the club stated that in general they are not in favor of the project, but if does come to fruition they expressed a preference for alternative 1 (combination fill / retaining wall).

This meeting serves as a follow-up and project updated to the stakeholder meeting with the club held on September 4, 2019. The meeting began at 7:30pm 1. Introductions: 2. Preferred Alternative: a. At the September 4, 2019 alternatives were presented for the portion of the project impacting Fletcher Lake. b. As a result of club feedback received on the alternatives and an alternatives analysis, the club’s preferred alternative has been carried forward for IDOT approval, permitting, land acquisition, and detailed project design. c. The preferred alternative includes filling the lake with fill and construction of a retaining wall atop of the rock fill. Additionally, the improvements between the roadway and the wall will be graded to drain to the road and a sight screen type of fence will be installed. The fence will have dual purpose acting as both a sight screen and a means to contain snow and deicing chemicals from plowing operations. The club questioned if this will additionally reduce noise. The Village noted that the noise study does not indicate that noise mitigation is warranted at this location. 3. Schedule: a. Currently the project is in the process of concluding the phase I study addendum and initiating the phase II design and land acquisition. b. The final outcome of the phase I study addendum is IDOT design approval of the Project Development Report (PDR). i. The draft PDR has been submitted and comments have been received from IDOT. ii. Submittal of the final PDR is pending IDOT approval of underlying reports including, but not limited to drainage, noise, structural, and environmental. c. Detailed phase II design has begun in early 2020. d. A letting date of November 2021 remains unchanged with a construction start anticipated for early 2022. e. The club questioned if it appears that the project will come to fruition. The Village stated that at this time project funding is predominantly secured and construction is expected to occur. 4. Field Work Status Update: a. Completed Work: i. Topographic survey ii. Survey of existing property monumentation iii. Geotechnical investigations iv. Wetland delineations v. Tree survey vi. Threatened and endangered species survey Page 185 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: March 4, 2020 Page 3 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 vii. Noise Monitoring viii. Exploratory excavation of the IL 126 underpass b. Remaining Work: i. Subsurface investigation of utilities at the IL 126 underpass 1. The club questioned the scope of this work 2. CMT advised that this work would likely include vacuum excavation to determine the horizontal and vertical location of utilities within the existing right-of-way. The purpose of this work is to determine the impact of the design on the utilities and potential conflicts. ii. IDOT special waste inspection 1. In IDOT’s preliminary environmental site assessment, this property was flagged as having a potential to have contaminates based upon its history as a mining facility. 2. The club questioned what activities IDOT may perform, and CMT advised them they may take some soil samples. It was further noted that as IDOT is acquiring the property this work is their due diligence to ensure their property acquisition is not a liability environmentally. iii. USACE site inspection 1. The USACE is considering the jurisdiction of the waters on the project and may visit the area as part of their evaluation process. c. CMT noted that they will provide notice of site activities to the club when they are informed thereof. It is understood that the project team does not desire our activities to disrupt the club activities such as fishing tournaments. 5. US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE): a. The USACE is a federal agency that oversees dams, canals, and flood protection. b. It was noted that the project will be permitted through the Chicago District. c. It was noted that the rules that define USACE jurisdiction are ever evolving based upon legal developments. In late 2019, the rules defining jurisdiction were changed. This project has been submitted for jurisdictional determination under the current rules. It is anticipated that under the new rules Fletcher Lake will not be under USACE jurisdiction. d. The Club recalled that at previous stakeholder meetings it was noted that the jurisdictional determination requested was already submitted in early 2019. The club questioned the outcome of the initial request. e. It was acknowledged that the USACE had made a determination based upon the previous request. The request has been resubmitted for review under the current rules based upon expanded area and updates to wetland surveys. f. The Club requested a copy of the jurisdictional determination response received from the USACE. g. The Club requested a map of the wetlands surveyed. It was noted that wetlands were only surveyed within the project scope area. Page 186 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: March 4, 2020 Page 4 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 6. Land Acquisition: a. Surveyors have finalized existing property monumentation and are currently working on preparation of the plats and legal descriptions of the proposed acquisitions. b. The Village has met with IDOT and it has been determined that the Bass & Gill property will be acquired in the name of the State. c. In summary, the proposed improvements include under six acres of temporary easements, under seven acres of permanent right-of-way, and under one-quarter of an acre of permanent easements. d. It was noted that appraisals and negotiations with property owners cannot be initiated until IDOT approves the phase I study. It is expected that these activities will begin later this year. 7. Proposed Drainage: a. The Village has previously provided the Club a copy of the Draft Location Drainage Study (LDS). b. CMT summarized that the proposed drainage has been designed such that there are no outlets to Fletcher Lake. There is a drainage divide wherein the majority of the drainage will outlet to the DuPage River. A smaller portion of the drainage will outlet to the east with the ultimate outfall of the drainage being the Lilly Cache Creek. c. Normal Water Level (NWL) i. CMT noted that a study of Fletcher Lake was performed as part of the LDS. ii. The historical NWL of the lake will is not anticipated to be impacted by this project. iii. Based upon investigations and soil boring data, the NWL of the lake is dictated by underground water tables. The lake does not act as a sealed bowl where addition or removal of material will impact the NWL. d. Compensatory storage will be provided above the NWL at a ratio of 1.5:1. Calculations in the LDS conclude that a total of 7,450 cubic yards of storage will be provided between the NWL and the 100-year storm event. e. At previous meetings it was noted that new lake created will provide a minimum of an equal volume of water. i. It has been determined that the areas shown as new lake will be able to accommodate this volume. The total fill proposed is approximately 20,000 cubic yards. Therefore, new lake volume will equal or exceed this volume which equates to approximately 4,011,810 gallons of water. ii. The Club noted that a primary concern is depth of new lake provided to ensure appropriate fish habitat and avoid winter fish kill. This concern was acknowledged, and it was noted that once the initial plan is detailed, the underwater grading contours can be presented to the Club to ensure it meets the expectations of the habitat. f. The draft LDS is currently under consideration by IDOT. Page 187 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: March 4, 2020 Page 5 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 8. Proposed Lake Restoration: a. Endangered Species: i. IDOT / IDNR is currently reviewing endangered species for the project. ii. The Club questioned what they are looking for and/or may find. iii. CMT noted that the agencies look at all species from bees, to bats, and turtles. With the exception of endangered bats, CMT does not anticipate any findings. iv. The Club questioned impacts to the project if endangered species are found. v. CMT noted the impact depends upon the species. For example, if bats are found, then typically restrictions imposed on what time of year trees are permitted to be removed. In other instances, incidental take authorizations are pursued. In this example environmental specialists are on call and contractors are trained to identify the animal and if seen contact the environmental specialist to take action. b. Plantings: i. Existing Conditions: 1. CMT has performed a survey of the existing forest condition. It was noted that the dominant trees found were mulberry, cherry, and elm. The understory was found to be dominated by buckthorn, and invasive shrub. The average tree density is estimated at 461 trees per acre. ii. Proposed Trees: 1. Species will likely be selected to be tolerant to wetter conditions such as willow, birch, and red maples. iii. Proposed Buffer Vegetation: 1. Vegetation such as wetland shrubs, plugs, and aquatic plants will be explored. 2. The Club was receptive to this as it would provide long term stability of the bank and habitat. iv. The Village noted that CMT can comprise a list of potential plantings for the Club to consider. This will provide the Club an opportunity to note species that are not desirable for the habitat they maintain. c. Aeration System: i. It was acknowledged that there is an existing aeration system that will be impacted by the project. ii. This system will be relocated or replaced as part of this project. d. Lake Bottom Grading: i. The new lake expansion bottom will be grading such that there are pockets and pools. The Club concurred that the bottom should not be a simple flat plane. ii. Once the design of the bottom is drafted, this can be presented to the Club to ensure it meets the intent of their facility. iii. The Club questioned if soil removed could be utilized elsewhere on their property. It was noted that this may not be able to be added to the project based on project limits established and Page 188 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: March 4, 2020 Page 6 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 studied. CMT and the Village noted that it is not uncommon for a property owner to enter into an agreement with a contactor regarding soil during construction. It was emphasized that the location of the soil being deposited must be performed in a lawful manner and properly permitted if warranted. e. Lake Substrate: i. Based upon soil borings taken in Fletcher lake it is anticipated that existing substrate will consist of silty gravely material. We do not anticipate the excavation getting into the existing bedrock. ii. The design of the lake bottom will take into account the existence of silty gravely material and may consider the addition of rocks, boulders, or sand to enhance the aquatic environment. f. Habitat: i. The Club noted the improvement would remove submerged trees and other woody debris that currently provide habitat. ii. CMT noted that natural and artificial habit will be explored such as fish cribs and sunken woody debris. iii. The Club noted that they have placed several fish cribs in their facilities and that they have several already produced. The Club questioned if their cribs could be installed as part of the project. It was noted that if this is desirable, it could be written into the construction contract. 9. Construction Staging: a. CMT presented the conceptual sequence of construction regarding Bass & Gill Club property b. Stage 1 i. Install soil erosion and sediment control measures ii. Tree clearing iii. Construct temporary Club access roadway from the existing intersection of IL 126 and 143rd Street traveling north along the northwest side of IL 126 iv. Construct contractor access route v. Install temporary traffic signals at the intersection of IL 126, existing 143rd Street, and the Club’s temporary entrance. c. Stage 2 i. Maintain the Club’s temporary access route ii. Construct the southeast IL 126 underpass extension iii. Construct the rock fill in Fletcher Lake iv. Excavate the southwestern corner of the lake for compensatory storage and expanded lake habitat v. Install proposed drainage, retaining walls, and roadway embankment d. Stage 3 i. Maintain the Club’s temporary access route ii. Construct the northwest IL 126 underpass extension iii. Upon completion of the IL 126 underpass extension, restore normal club access and remove the temporary access route Page 189 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Bass & Gill Club Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: March 4, 2020 Page 7 of 7 CMT No. 18024201.00 iv. Excavate the southeastern corner of the lake for compensatory storage and expanded lake habitat v. Install proposed drainage, retaining walls, and roadway embankment vi. Construct roadway improvements e. Club Questions: i. Can the temporary Club entrance be location directly across from the current entrance? 1. The area in the vicinity of the existing club entrance is outside of the project study area. 2. The proposed location provides the added benefit of being able to implement a temporary traffic signal. ii. Can the temporary entrance be gated for Club security? 1. A temporary gate could be included in the construction contract. iii. How long with Fletcher Lake be off limits for Club members? 1. CMT and the Village noted that the intention of the project is to maintain usage of Fletcher Lake throughout the construction. Silt curtains will be implemented to contain sedimentation to the work area. Construction crews will monitor this water and only remove the silt curtains upon the sediment dropping out of suspension in the water. 10. Next Steps a. Continue to conduct stakeholder involvement meetings. b. Finalize the Phase I Study and obtain IDOT design approval. c. Upon receipt of IDOT design approval initiate land acquisition appraisals and negotiations. d. Continue to develop preliminary permitting plans. 11. Action Items: a. CMT will provide a copy of the 2019 USACE Jurisdictional Determination. b. CMT will provide a map to the Club for their reference indicating wetlands surveyed and the project study limits. c. CMT will provide a list of potential tree and plant species for club consideration. d. The Village encouraged the club members to attend an upcoming informational meeting for the project. The date is not yet finalized, but it is anticipated to occur in the first part of April 2020. The club requested to be notified when the date is finalized. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00pm 12. Subsequent Activities: a. On March 10, 2020 a representative from the USACE visited the project area as part of the Village’s updated Jurisdictional Determination requested submitted on January 14, 2020. b. The April 2020 informational meeting has been postponed based upon guidance from the Governor of Illinois through Executive Order 2020-10 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic wherein any gathering of more than ten people is prohibited.

MIKE WITTKOP | Crawford, Murphy & Tilly | w 630.907.7056 | m 630.336.2700 Senior Engineer From: Mike Wittkop <mwittkop@cmtengr.com> Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2020 8:41 AM To: ‘Steve Beese’, ‘rick.f.pach@rrd.com’ Cc: Randy Jessen; Scott Threewitt (sthreewitt@goplainfield.com); Tice ‘Charles” Cole; Allen Persons (apersons@goplainfield.com) Subject: 143rd Street Extension – Fletcher Lake Concepts Attachments: Fletcher Lake Landscape Concept.pdf; Fletcher Lake Grading_West.pdf; Fletcher Lake Grading_East.pdf Mr. Beese and Mr. Pach, The study and design of the Village of Plainfield’s extension of 143rd Street has been progressing. During the project stakeholder coordination with the Bass and Gill Club in March of this year it was noted that the Village would share with the club the grading and restoration plans for the expansion of Fletcher Lake to ensure lake bottom grading and restoration meet expectations and/or allow for the opportunity to offer input. As representatives of the club we offer the attached exhibits illustrating existing conditions, proposed grading, and proposed restoration in regards to expansion of Fletcher Lake. In summary: Existing lake areas impacted have an average depth of approximately 7‐feet with 4 deeper holes of 7 to 12‐feet deep The proposed lake expansion has an average depth of 6 to 7‐feet. The western lake expansion has 6 depressional areas upwards of 10‐feet deep and the eastern lake expansion has 5 depressional areas upwards of 12‐feet deep. Proposed new lake volume added exceeds the lake volume impacted by the project. The project will permanently impact approximately 1.86 acres of the lake and 2.64 acres of new lake will be created. The restoration of the shoreline will include: o Wetland plugs in the water up to 6‐inches of water depth o Wetland seeding, shrubs, and trees from the shoreline to 6 to 8‐feet up the bank o Above that will be a variation of vegetation including grasses, forbs, trees, and shrubs Hard copies can be made available if the club desires.

Signed Charles M. “Tice” Cole, P.E., PTOE Page 216 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Plainfield Park District Meeting Min Date: June 6, 2019 Page 2 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 A meeting was held with McDermott (purchased Chicago Bridge & Iron (CB&I)), the Plainfield Park District (Park District), the Village of Plainfield (Village), and CMT on June 6, 2019 at McDermott. The meeting began at 10:00 am. 1. Introductions: 2. Project Description: a. A new 143rd Street from IL 59 to IL 126 is being proposed. The road will be two lanes in each direction. There will be a new bridge over the DuPage River. There will be a new fourth (east) leg at IL 59. The traffic signal will be replaced to accommodate the new leg of the intersection. The existing mountable median on IL 59 from 143rd Street in front of the storage facility and McDermott will be replaced with a southbound left turn lane. Access will not be changed to McDermott entrances, the median will still be mountable. A southbound right turn lane will also be installed at the intersection. 3. Background and History: a. The Village has been working on the project since 2005. The roadway was originally planned to be within the ComEd corridor and that is the way the study was approved by IDOT. Recently, ComEd informed the Village that they would need an additional transmission line and the roadway could no longer co-exist in the existing ComEd corridor. The Village is updating the study to reflect a shift in the roadway to the north. b. The purpose of this project is to reduce congestion at IL 59 at IL 126, improve travel times to and from I-55, get trucks out of downtown Plainfield so that the streetscape can expand, and to reduce the number of trucks crossing the at- grade crossing of IL 126 at the Canadian National Railroad (CN). c. The Village plans to transfer the new roadway to the state and it will become the new IL 126. d. This project is separate from the western extension of 143rd Street that is occurring between Ridge Road and Steiner Road. The western project is being built in part by a developer to facilitate their access to 143rd Street and the Village is building the remainder to connect 143rd Street to Ridge Road. Ridge Road connects down to I-80. 4. Funding and Schedule a. The Village attained about $25 million in federal funding for the project. b. There are more funding applications that the Village has submitted. c. The schedule for construction of the project is a November 2021 letting with construction in 2022 and 2023. d. It is anticipated that plats & legals would begin later this year (2019). e. Negotiations could begin mid next year (2020) f. The Village noted a public meeting would be held in late September. The meeting will be held at Village Hall, upstairs, in the community room. McDermott stated a representative would attend. Page 217 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Plainfield Park District Meeting Min Date: June 6, 2019 Page 3 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 5. Field Work a. CMT has already conducted the topographic survey, environmental studies and geotechnical borings on McDermott property in areas that are anticipated to be impacted. b. The scope and areas of the impacts to McDermott has essentially not changed since the originally approved study. 6. CB&I Impacts a. As shown in the attached CB&I exhibit, there is one area on the southeast quadrant of the McDermott properties that is slated to become compensatory storage. The roadway improvement project will have some fill placed within the DuPage River floodplain. To mitigate this impact, the Village will be required to construct compensatory storage at a ratio of 1.5:1 (essentially creating 50% more storage than what is being filled). Compensatory storage is removing land to create a void in specific elevation ranges to allow for flood waters to enter that void. This area may also serve as an infiltration basin. The infiltration basin will be a stormwater outlet best management practice (bmp) to improve water quality before it enters the DuPage River. The existing land use in this corner of the property is agriculture. This is a proposed permanent feature. b. The second impact shown in the attached CB&I exhibit is along the south side of the McDermott property. This area would be used as a construction entrance from IL 59 to the west bank of the DuPage River. The construction entrance construction activities including but not limited to excavating the compensatory storage area, building the DuPage River bridge, and building the DuPage River Trail bike path extension. The existing land use along the south side of the property is agriculture. This is a proposed temporary feature and would be restored to the existing condition after construction completion. 7. Land Acquisition a. The compensatory storage area is currently shown as a permanent drainage easement; however, it could also be acquired as fee simple ROW, subject to negotiations. The size of the permanent easement is currently estimated at approximately 2.28 acres; however, this is conceptual and will be subject to the finalization of the floodplain fill calculations and compensatory storage design. b. The construction access road area is shown as a temporary easement. The area of temporary construction easement is estimated at approximately 0.38 acres. c. McDermott stated that they are divesting from the tank business. The entire Plainfield operation is part of the tank business. The land under discussion would go to the new owner and that ownership transition is ongoing. A representative from the new company was included on the conference call. McDermott noted that the portion of property getting impacted is currently leased to another entity. McDermott stated they would notify that leasing entity of the proposed impacts. McDermott noted they would have an internal environmental review completed. CMT stated that the environmental study documentation for the roadway project could be provided upon completion of the studies. d. McDermott requested the Village send the property information and a property line map. Page 218 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Plainfield Park District Meeting Min Date: June 6, 2019 Page 4 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 8. Park District DuPage River Trail Extension a. As part of the roadway project, the Park District and Village are working together to extend the DuPage River Trail from it’s current terminus, south of the ComEd corridor, to the south edge of the McDermott property. The River Trail would connect to a path on the DuPage River Bridge to the east side of the river. b. Separately from the roadway project, the Park District would like to work with McDermott to extend the DuPage River Trail further north from the 143rd Street roadway, across the CB&I property, over the East Norman Drain, to connect to the Eaton Preserve Park. See attached exhibit. c. McDermott and the Park District will work together to coordinate for the additional stakeholders that would be impacted by the DuPage River Trail Extension further north, separate from the roadway project. 9. Action Items: a. McDermott notify lease holder of property impacted. b. McDermott attend public information meeting. c. McDermott and/or new company prepare for land acquisition next year. d. Park District and McDermott coordinate discussions for DuPage River Trail Extension. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:00 am.

The property discussed is located at the northwest corner of US 30 / 143rd Street and IL 59. The meeting was held virtually / via conference call due to COVID-19 restrictions. The meeting began at 9:30am 1. Introductions: 2. Project History: a. The project has been in planning and development by the Village for several decades. b. Clayton noted that he was involved in some of the early traffic studies for this project. c. The original concept of the project was to maintain the alignment of 143rd Street west of IL 59 and to widen 143rd Street. East of IL 59 the roadway was intended to be built on ComEd property to minimize impacts to property owners. Compensatory storage for fill within the floodplain was planned to occur immediately south of the roadway on ComEd’s property. d. ComEd has recently determined that that their transmission needs have evolved and that the roadway can no longer be constructed on their property. In addition, ComEd has informed the Village that they do not permit construction of compensatory storage on their property. 3. Proposed Improvements a. The alignment of the 143rd Street has been updated by shifting the improvements north of ComEd’s property. The Village and CMT are currently updating the phase I study with IDOT and have initiated phase II design of the improvements. The land acquisition process has been initiated at this time due to project funding obligations with grant money received for the construction of the project. b. Part of the phase I update includes re-analysis of the hydraulics and drainage. This included updating the hydraulic model of the West Norman Drain. It was noted that the existing FIS (FEMA) model of the West Norman Drain does not take into account the past improvements to the culvert under US 30 nor the IL 59 bridge. CMT has worked with IDOT to update the hydraulic model to reflect these improvements. c. Compensatory Storage: i. Compensatory storage is proposed to be constructed between the ComEd corridor and the West Norman Drain west of IL 59 on property currently owned by the Crosswinds Church (formerly Village Police property). ii. The current Draft Plat of Highways was prepared based upon initial hydraulic analysis where the Crosswinds Church property provided insufficient compensatory storage and additional storage was planned immediately north of the culvert extension. Updated analysis considering the improvements to the culvert and IL 59 bridge indicate that compensatory storage can be accomplished on the Crosswinds Church property alone. Page 225 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Dayfield Properties Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: November 12, 2020 Page 3 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 4. Proposed Land Acquisition a. The project proposes acquisition in three areas regarding this property: i. Temporary easement at the entrance at IL 59. This easement is needed to widen IL 59 for a new southbound right turn lane and to reconstruct the entrance to IDOT standards for geometrics. ii. Permanent right-of-way along the south side of the property to facilitate the realignment of US 30 / 143rd Street. iii. An easement northeast of the existing culvert under US 30 / 143rd Street conveying the West Norman Drain. 1. Originally proposed as a permanent drainage easement to provide compensatory storage for fill in the floodplain. 2. Upon updated hydraulic modeling and coordination with IDOT, this area is no longer needed to provide compensatory storage to the ratios of the Village ordinance. 3. Updated intention is to acquire a temporary easement to facilitate culvert extension and channel stabilization. 5. Owner Concerns / Comments a. Clayton noted that in general he is in support of the project. b. Clayton noted in general he does not object to the proposed land acquisitions noted. c. Clayton noted a history of streambank instability in addition to trees blocking the culvert under US 30 / 143rd Street. Clayton suggested clearing of trees and brush in conjunction with bank stabilization. CMT noted that this would be considered in addition to potentially planting of new trees to provide root structure to aid in long term bank stabilization. d. Clayton questioned support of Village Board regarding the project. The Village noted that the project is proceeding with the majority support of the board and that the board recently approved the right-of-way agreement currently under consideration with IDOT. e. Property Access: i. The primary point of concern for the improvements is access to the property. ii. IL 59 Entrance: 1. In the existing condition there is no southbound right nor left turn lanes and there is a mountable median on IL 59. 2. Clayton is concerned that in the proposed condition, northbound traffic on IL 59 will not be able to make a left into the property with the addition of southbound right and left turn lanes. iii. US 30 / 143rd Street Entrance: 1. In the existing condition, this entrance is located within the eastbound left turn lane taper for the left turn lane for IL 59. 2. In the proposed condition, the entrance is again located within the eastbound left turn lane taper for the left turn lane for IL 59. 3. In the proposed condition there is no eastbound left turn lane for traffic to enter the property. Clayton noted concern for safe eastbound left turning movements into the property without a left turn lane. 4. There is a potential that this turn lane storage could be extended to the west. It is anticipated that IDOT may have concerns of traffic waiting to turn into the property conflicting with the traffic attempting to turn left onto IL 59. More simply put a truck waiting to turn left into the property would block left turn traffic trying to Page 226 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Dayfield Properties Stakeholder Meeting Minutes Date: November 12, 2020 Page 4 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 get to IL 59 with the potential for vehicles to move around said truck offering a potential hazard for thru traffic. 5. Clayton noted that there is currently a 5-year lease agreement with the property immediately to the west (other side of the waterway) and that there is substantial truck traffic between the properties. 6. The Village noted that as this is currently and will continue to be an IDOT route, and that IDOT would have the final determination on if roadway geometrics could be updated. 7. Clayton acknowledged and requested that the Village present alternatives to IDOT. 8. The Village and CMT noted that they will develop alternatives to present to IDOT. It is believed that extending the left turn lane could be accomplished without impacting the footprint of the project. It was noted that he raised median on us 30/143rd Street has been positioned to facilitate turning movements of the entrance. 6. Next Steps: a. The plat of highways will need to be updated to show the change in easement type north of the culvert. The updated plat will then be provided to the appraiser such that the appraisal may be updated. b. IDOT execution of a right-of-way agreement between the Village and IDOT is pending approval. Once this is approved the project will be prepared to make offers to property owners. Note that easement and right-of-way for this property will be acquired in the name of the State as it is adjacent to state right-of-way. 7. Action Items: a. The Village and CMT will work on alternatives for an eastbound left turn lane for access to the property to present to IDOT. CMT will provide any updates to the roadway plan as a result of coordination with IDOT. b. CMT to provide IDOT standard temporary easement language to the owner in advance of negotiations for their reference. c. CMT to provide updated exhibit’s illustrating proposed property acquisition. d. Once the plats are updated, CMT will provide then to the owner. Note that the plat will also be provided part of the official acquisition offer. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:10am.

Mike was updating the driveway and path design for this location this past week. There will be a bike path just inside the existing ROW installed along his frontage of IL 126 (Main Street). Temporary easements may be necessary behind the path on his property to install a swale to ensure positive drainage after the path is installed. There may be some tree removal from the front yard where the bulk of existing evergreen tree branches are within the existing ROW (will conflict with the path). The driveway will be reconstructed within his property (temporary easement). It should tie in before the front door walk intersects the driveway.

Plainfield has completed its initial drainage study. It is too big of a file to email to you, so I am hoping they submitted a copy to you. This is very concerning as a number of residents who live on the river side of the road are now being contacted by Plainfield to acquire a portion of their properties. The acquisition of additional property was not in Plainfield’s PDR that was submitted to you. We are concerned about flooding on the River side as well as the Lake side. I am not sure if you are the right contact at the state level regarding FEMA, however, this road puts at an increased risk of Flooding. If you are not please point us in the right direction. July 2nd Response: Thank you for your email below. IDOT understands your concerns noted below. I cannot answer your questions about the drainage study or potential for flooding. Hydrology and drainage studies are not my areas of expertise and must refer you to the Village of Plainfield and their consultant. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources – Office of Water Resources (IDNR-OWR) regulates IDOT construction activities in a floodplain. IDNR-OWR jurisdiction includes all watersheds equal to or greater than 1 square mile in urban or urbanizing locations and equal to or greater than 10 square miles for rural locations. I am not aware of any contacts with the property owners concerning land acquisition. At this stage in project development, the local agency is allowed to contact property owners to obtain their comments on proposed land acquisition, prepare plats, and property appraisals. For this project IDNR-OWR has granted review authority to IDOT District 1 Hydraulics for work within the DuPage River and West Norman Drain. The Location Drainage Study will also be reviewed by IDOT District 1 Hydraulics. 2. Plainfield completed its’ noise study and has determined that a sound barrier is not viable. Please note the sound from the new road is very concerning to the residents in this area. I am attaching the study. July 2nd Response: The Noise Analysis has been reviewed and approved by IDOT. This approval means that the noise analysis complies with IDOT and FHWA policies and procedures. As stated in the noise analysis, “… A final decision on the installation of the noise wall will not be made until the final design is approved and the public involvement process is complete. …” Mr. Stallworth – Please have the Plainfield project manager and the consultant meet with Ms. Cordial to discuss her concerns. Page 238 Page 5 July 2, 2020: 3. Would you please be so kind to provide the name and email for IDNR? I do not have the contact information for anyone in IDNR-OWR or even how to point you in the correct direction to get your questions answered. Please work with Plainfield to address your concerns. Please see response to comment 1. August 25, 2020: 4. One of our neighbors Ron Schrack (copied on this email) is an engineer. He has reviewed Plainfield’s preliminary drainage study and has the following comments that we are hoping you will address with us. Section 1-03.6 - The last two paragraphs are concerning and the last paragraph basically acknowledges that they are intending on diverting stormwater run- off away from Fletcher lake to directly discharge into the river. We need to confirm that this additional runoff was included in their HEC - RAS calculations. Please forward this information to the project sponsor. I do not have any of the information that you are requesting. Any comments about the draft hydraulic should be directed to the project sponsor and their engineering consultant. The hydraulic modeling of the DuPage river was performed in accordance with the best practice guidelines of IDOT and IDNR. In accordance with these guidelines, regulatory flows obtained from the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) were used for the hydraulic modeling of the DuPage River. The 2019 FIS states that the flows for the DuPage River were developed by the Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) using the State Standard Method. These are the same flows used in the 1995 FIS. The DuPage River’s watershed is 160,640 ac (251 sq mi). The catchment area within the Fletcher Lake sub-watershed being drained to the DuPage river is approximately 3.4 ac (0.005 sq mi), which would represent 0.002% of the DuPage River’s drainage area. The consideration of such a small fraction of the entire drainage area would have no significance in the watershed-scale hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the DuPage River. Furthermore, Fletcher Lake is already part of the DuPage River watershed. 5. 2-01 (3) - They are requesting an exception to the normal stormwater discharge permitting requirements. In the originally approved PDR and Hydraulic Report an exception was requested and approved. At the time of the updated draft LDS and draft updated Hydraulic Report, an exception was still anticipated. In the latest Hydraulic Report, which is under final review by IDOT District 1 Hydraulics, this exception is no longer needed. The Final LDS, which summarizes this hydraulic information, has been updated to remove this exception. The Final LDS is under review by IDOT District 1 Hydraulics. The proposed drainage system will meet all design criteria specified in section 2-01. Specifically, IDOT freeboard criteria is now met at all waterway crossings. Page 239 Page 6 6. 2-02 - Both items are marked no which needs further clarification There are no unsuitable outlets for this project, as defined by IDOT. The outlet to Main Lake has been conservatively identified a sensitive outlet based on ecological considerations. Main Lake is on the northeast corner of 143rd Street and IL 126. This is described in the updated Final LDS, under IDOT District 1 Hydraulics review. 7. 2-03 - States that no stormwater detention is required. Provide Justification. In the LDS the engineering justification is provided in section 2-03.1. 8. 2-04 - Project and Environmental Studies Section? Section 2-04 is the right of way analysis. Please clarify your specific question. 9. 2-05 - See comment to 1-03.6 Please see response to comment 4 (section 1-03.6). 10. 2-06 - Comments are concerning. Agency coordination was done in accordance with local and state regulations. Please clarify and direct concerns to the Village of Plainfield. 11. 2-07.2.6 - concerning again Please describe and direct concerns to the Village of Plainfield. 12. 3-00 - Evaluation states that the project will not increase upstream flood stages by greater than 0.1 - SHOW ME THE DATA!!!!! The problem is that 0.09 foot increase puts around a dozen homes into the 100 year flood plain including my house. Water surface elevation data is presented in the Waterway Information Tables for the DuPage River and West Norman Drain, based on the hydraulic analyses performed as part of the Hydraulic Report. A sensitive flood receptor analysis was done for the DuPage River as part of the Hydraulic Report, and determined that no homes are considered sensitive, as the critical elevations of each structure would all be above the 100-year water surface elevations. The mapped critical flood elevations and water surface elevations are described and shown in the Hydraulic Reports. Per IDNR regulations we are not increasing flood elevations by greater than 0.1 foot along the DuPage River or West Norman Drain. The DuPage River hydraulic report was recently approved by IDOT and can be seen as part of the response to this comment. Page 240 Page 7 13. The Hydro Atlas used in the report is from 1966 - REALLY? Hydrologic Atlas information is commonly included in drainage reports for historical reference. The atlas is an IDOT required section of the report. The drainage studies are based on the most current data and modeling available. 14. Where is the HEC - RAS Study. I want to see the revised limits of the 100 year floodplain.. The comprehensive hydraulic analysis and modeling for the DuPage River and West Norman Drain are included in their respective Hydraulic Reports. Please see response to comment 12. 15. Did they use the RASPLOT program? HEC-Ras was used for the modeling and profiles. The additional RASPLOT was not needed to create profiles for this project. 16. In general this is a very unusual submission with copies of a hand written field book and sketches that are free handed which is not typical for an engineering report of this importance. The sections and contents of Location Drainage Study is determined by IDOT and was followed in the completion of this report. August 25, 2020 – 2nd Email: 17. Who do we contact at state of Illinois regarding flooding concerns with the road project? I thought your department provided oversight to this Project. If this is not the case, please advise as to whom at the state level approves the Plainfield project. IDOT does have oversight of this project. IDOT staff in District 1 will be reviewing and approving the hydraulic report. I defer to Mr. Stallworth for the contact person. When the time comes, I will be giving design approval based upon receipt of the reviews and approvals of the IDOT subject experts and the recommendations of Plainfield and District 1. I will be recommending to the FHWA approval of the applicable NEPA decision. Again, please work with the Village of Plainfield and their engineering consultant to address your concerns. They are the subject experts on all aspects of this project. September 22, 2020: 18. I am reaching out to you as you as I assuming you are the project manager and are hoping you can advise as to who we contact at IDOT or NEPA regarding our flooding and noise concerns. I am copying several of the un-incorporated Plainfield residents who will also be impacted by this road. Plainfield does not care about our REAL concerns of flooding and noise. Let’s face it the 143rd Street east extension in their PDR in 2014 was only going to cost $29 million ended up being proposed by Page 241 Page 8 Plainfield in 2018 for $59million, Same length of road, only difference is Plainfield decided that they would build the road on the Lake, when ComEd denied their request, which increasing the potential of flooding and noise. See IDOT Response to comments 17 (flooding) and 2 (noise). 19. I believe you already have the noise study. But just in case you don’t, I am reattaching. If you are not the right person that provides oversight for noise, please advise who is. Based on the traffic noise analysis and noise abatement evaluation conducted, highway traffic noise abatement measures are likely to be implemented based on preliminary design. The noise barriers determined to meet the feasible and reasonable criteria are identified on the attachment. If it subsequently develops during final design that constraints not foreseen in the preliminary design or public input substantially change, the abatement measures may need to be modified or removed from the project plans. A final decision of the installation of the abatement measure(s) will be made upon completion of the project’s final design and the public involvement process. (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 23) However this has changed based on Plainfield Noise Technical Report, March 13, 2020 Noise analysis was not complete at the time the draft PDR was submitted to IDOT in December 2019, and the boilerplate text available in the PDR does not reflect the eventual finding of the Noise Technical Report. As stated by the December 2019 PDR, the noise abatement evaluation will be included in the Final PDR. This noise abatement evaluation, which was introduced in the final Noise Technical Report, found that noise barriers capable of meeting the feasibility and noise reduction design goal requirements of IDOT’s traffic noise policy were too costly to meet the cost-effectiveness requirements of the policy. Therefore, the noise barriers are not Reasonable as defined by the policy and are not likely to be implemented. Note that if barriers drop out of the analysis at the cost-effectiveness stage of the evaluation, public viewpoint solicitation is not pursued. 20. Night-time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 59. Construction on IL126 will widen the existing two lane rural highway as it approaches the intersection with 143rd Street. The roadway profile of IL 126 is being lowered which will result in removal and replacement of the existing pavement and widening of an existing box culvert. Construction activities will be staged such that existing traffic capacity can be maintained during construction. Night-time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 126. (PDR Volume 1 pp. 23) Night construction in a residential environment? IL 59 is not a residential environment in the vicinity of this project. The majority of IL 126 undergoing improvements as part of this project is not a residential environment. The primary residential areas that exist adjacent to proposed improvements include Naperville Road and proposed 143rd Street. These two roadways are not identified in the statement cited above because these two areas are not anticipated to need nighttime construction to mitigate traffic concerns during Page 242 Page 9 construction. Decisions to implement night time construction will be made by the Village and the contractor during construction. 21. 80,000 TRUCKS TO BE LEGALLY PERMITTED ON THIS ROUTE (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 6) On November 2, 2012, Plainfield’s then consulting firm Huff & Huff, states in a letter to IDOT, The 2040 traffic projections for the 143rd Street Extension show lower projected traffic along the roadway than in 2030. Traffic projections in 2040 are 19000 ADT which is 4,000 less than the 2030 projections used in the noise analysis (17% decrease). The CMAP 2019 report says 19500 in 2050 Addresses (receptors) included in the CMT sound study were commissioned for 1-hour surveys. On August 16, 2019, Jeremy Metz emailed traffic recommendations Jennifer Miller to survey the following locations (Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, pg 74): • 143rd Street at IL 126/Main Street 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:00 – 5:00 pm • Naperville Road 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:45 to 5:45 pm The PDR checkbox referencing 80,000 trucks should reference 80,000-lb trucks (gross vehicle weight) which will be allowed on proposed 143rd Street. Proposed 143rd Street will be designated a Class II truck route, just like 143rd Street west of IL 59 (US 30), IL 126, and IL 59. 143rd Street is planned to become State Route IL 126 after jurisdictional transfer. See IDOT OPER 753 for Maximum Legal Dimensions & Weights On State, Federal & Local Routes. The cited traffic projections from the 2014 PDR are no longer valid and have been superseded by the PDR addendum, which was used for the noise analysis. The August 16, 2019 email from Jeremy Metz to Jennifer Miller provides the peak traffic hours that the traffic engineering team identified as a result of studying traffic in the project area. Ms. Miller requested these hours as part of understanding traffic patterns in the area for the noise analysis. Mr. Metz was not commissioning a survey from Ms. Miller. The email describes 1-hour periods because these are the one-hour-long intervals in the morning and in the evening when the project area experiences its highest traffic. The peak hour is a standard concept used in traffic engineering. 22. On September 10, 2019, CMT surveyed 8 (eight) receptors; however, the survey was extrapolated from 16-minutes intervals (separate locations) and multiplied by 4 (four) to achieve an hourly average. This reduction of data significantly impacts the sound survey by limiting accurate measurements. Solely relying on a moment to validate an entire year of traffic. CMT also recorded the velocity of vehicles exceeding 55mph in a 35mph zone (St. Mary Immaculate Cemetery survey site). No radar gun was included in CMT’s calibrated equipment. Additionally, the CMT’s Calibration Certificate for the Sound Pressure Meter (Sound Pro SE-DL2) was 1 (one) month away from the 2- year microphone recalibration recommendation on 10- 25-19. As stated in IDOT’s Highway Traffic Noise Assessment Manual, the purpose of noise monitoring is to validate the project-specific use of FHWA’s Traffic Noise Model (TNM) and ensure that TNM properly accounts for project-level variables. The September 10, 2019 noise measurements were used for this purpose, and were never used to validate an entire year of traffic. As noted in IDOT’s manual, 15-minute field noise measurements are at the upper end of the measurement time period suggested by FHWA. During any given measurement period, the noise meter calculates the equivalent steady-state sound level, or Leq, by mathematically integrating all of the sound energy received by the meter’s microphone. FHWA has determined that in most cases, 15 Page 243 Page 10 minutes is sufficient time for the Leq to reach a steady value and the measurement can then be considered complete. The noise analyst operating the meter has the option to continue longer if the Leq has not reached a steady value at the end of 15 minutes, but that was not necessary for this project’s measurements. Traffic is counted during the 15-minute intervals so that the noise level (Leq) that is measured can be related to the volume of traffic that passes during the noise measurement. When the primary noise source in an area is traffic noise, the measured noise level should be proportionately related to the volume of traffic that passes the measurement location. Because speed is a factor in the noise level of the passing vehicles and is a required input for TNM, speed is also measured at the time of the field noise measurements. As allowed by IDOT’s manual, speed was measured using a stopwatch: CMT measured the time it took for a given vehicle to travel a pre-measured distance, and converted this feet-per-seconds data into miles per hour. No radar gun was required. The noise meter used in field measurements was within the accepted calibration time frame. Being close to the next calibration date does not indicate the need for concern over instrument function because the time period between calibrations has already been determined to be appropriate for maintaining proper instrument function. TNM models the hourly equivalent sound level, or Leq(h). In validating the project-specific model, we need to multiply the traffic volumes counted during the 15-minute field noise measurement periods by four to obtain the equivalent of one hour’s traffic for use in TNM. Per FHWA and IDOT requirements, the project-specific model is validated (shown to accurately represent project area conditions) when the traffic volumes and speeds are input into the model and the model returns a noise level that is within +/-3 dB of the field-measured Leq. Because Leq is a steady-state sound level, the Leq measured by the noise meter during the 15-minute field measurement does not require transformation before comparison to the Leq(h) returned by the model. These noise measurements were collected to validate the project’s FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM). If a model is set up correctly, then entering a certain traffic volume and speed in the model will cause the model to output the noise level produced by the traffic volume and speed. The 15-minute noise measurements were collected at the same time that traffic was counted and traffic speeds were measured on the nearby roadways. Because the model and the noise meter both present the noise level as an equivalent one-hour noise level (Leq(h)), If the model functions correctly, then entering the counted traffic and measured speeds into the model would return the measured noise level. IDOT approved the noise report and all procedures documented therein on March 31, 2020. No changes have been made to the design as reviewed by the noise analysis that would warrant reconsidering the conclusions of the approved noise analysis. 23. “Traffic Volumes” on page 13 of the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, states: “CMT’s traffic volumes were not developed with truck percentages, IDOT’s recent traffic count data published on IDOT’s Getting Around Illinois website was used to develop percentages of medium trucks (straight trucks in IDOT’s traffic data) and heavy trucks (multi-unit trucks) for the TNM [Traffic Noise Model].” Page 244 Page 11 The I-DOT website used for this data has a disclaimer: “The Illinois Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois hereby give notice to all users that these maps and the data included hereon, lack the accuracy required for site-specific uses. Since all boundaries and all data are based on information derived from multiple sources within and outside the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois make no representation, guarantee, or warrant, either express or implied, regarding the accuracy of these maps or the data furnished thereon, including, but not limited to, the condition of this product, this product's merchantability, or this product's fitness for any particular purpose or use.” Therefore, the inaccurate Truck data extracted from this resource should not be utilized by CMT. Furthermore, the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report states (pg 13, pp 3) “…residents reported very low existing truck traffic.” No residents have been surveyed for this data. Trucks are prohibited on Naperville Road; however, numerous semi-trucks disregard and continue illegal use. This was neglected by CMT’s concise survey. The IDOT website was not used for specific traffic volumes but rather for proportions of cars to trucks. This was the best data available at the time the models were developed. The resident reports of very low existing truck traffic were taken from comments made by members of the public to the noise analyst at the September 24, 2019 open house held at the Village of Plainfield Village Hall, and noting these comments was intended only to confirm that the IDOT website reflected actual conditions. CMT evaluated the change in noise level that would be caused by adding the low volume of trucks currently listed on the IDOT website for Naperville Road, and determined that no new noise impacts would result and the conclusions of the noise analysis would not change. 24. Intersections must have “clear sight triangles,” free of foliage and vegetation to maintain safe sight lines (FHWA Safety) 1. The proposal for 143rd Street intersecting with Naperville Road is abundant with vegetation and historically old trees. The removal of vegetation will further hinder sound abatement therefore Noise Barriers will become inversely more demanded. 2 According to I-DOT (pg 2): “Vegetation is not used by FHWA or I-DOT for traffic noise reduction because it would need to be at least 200-feet wide and 18-feet high to reduce noise levels by 10 dB(A).” Removal of additional vegetation will further degrade quality the Plainfield Flood Plain. Therefore, Noise Barriers would be the only viable solution for 143rd Street Project. Sound is amplified when it travels over water. Water cools the air above its surface, which then slows down the sound waves near the surface. This causes refraction or bending of the sound wave, such that more sound reaches far ends of LAKE FLETCHER. Additional sound waves skimming the surface of the water can add to the amplification effect, if the water is calm. Lake Fletcher is always calm. Without sound abatement to contain 143rd Street’s Extension, residents on all edges of Lake Fletcher will be impacted. The Federal Highway Administration identifies impact resulting from a project: Ascertaining where future predicted noise levels would approach or exceed a set of Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) established in the FHWA regulations. For outdoor uses in residential areas, the NAC is 67 dB(A); I-DOT defines “approaching the NAC” as within 1 dB (66 dB(A)) for residential areas). Therefore, locations where future noise levels are predicted to be 66 dB(A) or higher are considered “impacted.” 3 Page 245 Page 12 Vegetation is not generally recognized by FHWA for traffic noise reduction because research has shown that unless a vegetated area is as deep, tall and uniformly dense as cited in the IDOT Highway Traffic Noise Assessment Manual, vegetation does not provide measurable noise reduction. The existing vegetation cited in the comment does not meet the standard for vegetated areas that could abate noise, and therefore its removal is unlikely to have an effect on the need for noise abatement. Because it does not meet the aforementioned standards, the vegetation was not included in the project-specific TNM. The potential effects on noise propagation of Lake Fletcher were included in the project noise models in the form of a Ground Zone (TNM terminology for the model element that allows specification of a different surface flow resistivity than the model’s default) in the location of Lake Fletcher. This area was specified as water and the TNM adjusted the flow resistivity accordingly in its calculations. Please note that Lake Fletcher includes strips of mounded soil that interrupt the water surface and would tend to reduce noise propagation over the lake because the mounds introduce intervals of increased flow resistivity. Rather than including these strips and potentially lowering the resulting noise level results, the models assumed a worst case where the water surface was uninterrupted, thus potentially overestimating noise levels at receptors (residences) located across the lake from the proposed 143rd Street. Even with this potential overestimation, noise levels at the receptors located across the lake from the proposed 143rd Street did not approach, meet or exceed FHWA’s NAC. Refer to the figure “Predicted Noise Levels for Properties Facing Bass & Gill Club” in the Traffic Noise Technical Report. Per FHWA and IDOT requirements and specifically called out in Table 3-1 of the IDOT Highway Traffic Noise Assessment Manual, noise impacts to outdoor recreation areas are only considered where there is a fixed outdoor gathering space. Transient (mobile) recreational uses such as hikers on a trail or boats on a lake are not considered an outdoor gathering space. The impact to use of the lake for fishing was considered based on the nearest fixed outdoor gathering space, a dock in the southeast part of the lake. The water Ground Zone modeled for Fletcher Lake also applied to the dock.

Signed Charles “Tice” Cole, PE, PTOE Page 251 Village of Plainfield 143rd Street Extension Phase I FHWA Coordination Meeting Minutes Date: October 6, 2020 Page 2 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 A meeting was held with members of IDOT, FHWA, the Village of Plainfield, and CMT on October 6, 2020 via a WebEx video conference. The meeting began at 11:30am 1. Introductions 2. Project Overview The project will create a new roadway extending 143rd Street from IL 59 to IL 126. This new route would theoretically be jurisdictionally transferred to IDOT, thereby re-routing IL 126 out of downtown Plainfield and providing a safer more efficient roadway network. The attached Jurisdictional Transfer exhibit illustrates the project location in relation to the roadway network. The project received phase I design approval in December of 2014 with the roadway proposed substantially within ComEd’s property. Subsequently, ComEd re-evaluated their needs and determined that the roadway would no longer be feasible within their property. An alternatives study was performed and an addendum to the phase I Project Development Report (PDR) has been ongoing in accordance with the September 18, 2018 FHWA coordination meeting. The overall project was presented in a Roadway Improvements exhibit, see attached. The project includes a new crossing of the DuPage River, new intersection with Naperville Road, new roadway through the southern portion of a privately owned lake, in addition to widening of culverts on US 30 and IL 126. 3. Phase I Addendum Status CMT noted that submission of the final PDR for IDOT design approval is pending IDOT reviews / approvals of several items including: a. Wetland Impact Evaluation: resubmitted to IDOT September 3, 2020. b. Biological: awaiting clearance from IDOT c. DuPage River TS&L: submitted PBDHR on November 27, 2019. Awaiting BBS review now that hydraulic concurrence has been obtained. d. West Norman Drain Culvert TS&L: submitted PBDHR on December 20, 2019. Resubmitted hydraulic report September 4, 2020, awaiting hydraulic concurrence and BBS review. e. IL 126 Culver TS&L: Comments received from IDOT f. Fletcher Lake Retaining Wall TS&L: submitted December 23, 2019. No comments received to date. g. Section 4(f): received park district concurrence and letter of intent regarding path maintenance, submitted for IDOT concurrence on September 21, 2020 h. LDS: submitted final LDS to IDOT on September 29, 2020 i. IDS, PnP’s, Typicals, and Design Exceptions: Resubmitted to Geometrics on September 25, 2020. The project is targeting a November 2021 letting with prefinal plans due in May of 2021. 4. Public Involvement A public information meeting was held on September 24, 2019, meeting summary attached. The meeting was attended by approximately 91 people with the majority of comments received pertaining to traffic, trucks, noise, and property impacts. IDOT noted that they have been receiving a number of emails from a concerned citizen, Mrs. Cindy Cordial of 14027 Naperville Road. IDOT noted they are concerned that the Village is not being responsive to project stakeholders, notably as some stakeholders are outside of the Village limits. CMT and the Village noted that they were not copied or forwarded said correspondence until September 23, 2020. CMT and the Village noted Page 252 Village of Plainfield 143rd Street Extension Phase I FHWA Coordination Meeting Minutes Date: October 6, 2020 Page 3 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 that subsequent to the public information meeting, the Village has exchanged several emails with Mrs. Cordial including an in-person stakeholder meeting on November 26, 2019 with her and other stakeholders. Additionally, Mrs. Cordial submitted a FOIA request on the project. The Village noted that they conferred with their attorneys and that while they could wait until the documents were finalized, the Village shared draft versions of the PDR and LDS, the final approved Noise Analysis, and other documents in the interest of project transparency. Subsequently a stakeholder conference call (due to COVID-19) was scheduled with Mrs. Cordial for July 16, 2020. Upon receipt of the meeting invitation, Mrs. Cordial forward the invitation to over 50 additional personnel. Upon conferring with IDOT, the Village notified Mrs. Cordial that as a result of forwarding the invitation to a substantial number of additional persons, this could no longer be considered a stakeholder meeting, but rather would be qualified as a public meeting that requires additional procedures and processes. As such that meeting was cancelled in the interest of maintaining federal processes. Attached is a draft response to the latest correspondence received by IDOT from Mrs. Cordial. The Village seeks IDOT concurrence on the language of the responses prior to responding to Mrs. Cordial comments since July 1, 2020. The response will include that additional questions or comments should be directed to the Village. It was noted that IDOT has approved the noise report and DuPage River hydraulic report at this time. The Village has had multiple project stakeholder meetings with the Bass & Gill Club, the owner of Fletcher Lake. Club input was considered on the design of the fill and retaining wall in the lake between Naperville Road and IL 126. As part of the improvements, compensatory storage is being provided for Fletcher Lake for the impacts to the lake floodplain. In addition to compensatory storage, the Club has requested that the usable lake volume at preferred depths also be compensated for. The Village is committed to working with this stakeholder to provide equal or greater usable lake volume than impacted. IDOT noted that Mrs. Cordial had contacted Will County regarding the project whom subsequently contacted IDOT. IDOT questioned the extent of the involvement of Will County. The Village stated that Will County has been a co-sponsor of multiple grant applications and is in support of this project. IDOT stated that it believes that Will County should have the opportunity to review the project based upon a substantial portion of the project being outside of the Village limits. The Village stated that they can coordinate with the county and share the most recent version of the LDS, submitted to IDOT yesterday, October 5, 2020. IDOT questioned FWHA if an additional public meeting or hearing will be required. FHWA noted that an additional public meeting is not required by the federal process and was uncertain of the benefit of an additional meeting as the project has no significant changes from the last public meeting. FHWA stated it is up to the Village and IDOT if they would like to have another meeting. The Village requested that IDOT provide direction if another public meeting needs to be held for the project by the end of this week, October 9, 2020. IDOT acknowledged and stated direction on the public meeting would be provided to the Village in the requested timeframe. The Village noted that they continue to respond to all correspondence on the project, regardless if the person resides within the Village or not. The Village noted that Village Board meetings are held virtually and open to public comment in addition to project information posted on the Village’s website, including public information meeting materials. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 12:05pm Page 253 Village of Plainfield 143rd Street Extension Phase I FHWA Coordination Meeting Minutes Date: October 6, 2020 Page 4 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 5. Post Meeting a. The Village requested IDOT via email to provide comments on the response language to Mrs. Cordial by the conclusion of the week. b. IDOT directed that the Village conduct an additional public meeting for the project in an email of October 8, 2020. IDOT directed that the meeting should occur on a date after all the project reports and studies have been finalized and necessary approvals have been obtained. The Village is to ensure that Mrs. Cordial receives an invitation to this meeting.

The meeting was conducted in an open house format. Attendees signed in and reviewed boards and strip maps of regarding the project. The exhibit boards included: meeting purpose, project location and description, project process, purpose and need, project history, schedule, costs and funding, stakeholder meetings to date, alignment shift alternative analysis, renderings and typical sections at the Bass & Gill Club, environmental study and preliminary environmental impacts, Section 4f publicly owned parks, best management practices for storm water, noise analysis, land acquisition – types, process and schedule, next steps, and how to submit comments . There were two strip maps with one showing the proposed roadway, bridge, and drainage improvements, with anticipated grading limits overlaid on an aerial image. The other strip map showed the preliminary land acquisition areas, distinguished by land acquisition type, overlaid on an aerial image. Attendees were provided an opportunity to speak with representatives from the Village of Plainfield, including the Public Works Director, Superintendent of Public Works, and Lead Engineer, and their engineering consultant including seven members of the project team including traffic, environmental, noise, and land acquisition staff. Attendees The meeting was attended by 91 people including project team members. Harry Benton, Village Trustee, was in attendance. Specific representatives identified in the sign-in sheet included ComEd and the Pure Rod & Gun Club. No media is known to have attended the meeting. Comments Questions and comments were received from 52 respondents before, during, and after the meeting. Specific agencies that commented, but did not attend the meeting included: the Western Will County Communication Center (WESCOM), Will County Center for Economic Development, and the Contractors Association of Will and Grundy Counties (CAWGC). See attached summary chart. Approximately 25% of the respondents commented in support of the proposed improvements. Of those who voiced support for the project, their concerns with the existing conditions included traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure to accommodate trucks, congestion with at-grade rail crossings, safety, and quality of life. They also noted the benefit of the bike trails and the small proportion of the Village share of the funding to the overall project cost. The top three concerns identified by respondents were traffic, trucks and noise with 71%, 54%, and 37% of the respondents, respectively. For traffic and trucks, it should be noted that this includes those both supporting the improvements to fix the traffic and truck problem and those Page 259 143rd St Extension IL 59 to IL 126 06-00040-00-FP SEPTEMBER 2019 PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING SUMMARY opposed to the improvements because they think it either doesn’t address the existing problems or creates more problems. None of the respondents indicated that there wasn’t an existing traffic problem. It should be noted that the noise analysis is still being completed, so not all questions regarding potential noise mitigation could be answered at the meeting. Approximately 29% of respondents had questions and concerns regarding planning, zoning and economic development. These included the corporate limits, annexation, comprehensive plan, zoning, warehouses, and industry. The next tier of respondents from 25% down to 10%, were concerned with: • property impacts and property values diminishing • water quality, groundwater, the water tables, wells and septic • wildlife • safety • flooding, erosion control • cost, funding, and schedule • quality of life • bicycles, pedestrians and trails The next tier of respondents, below 10%, were concerned with: • trains and at-grade crossings • displacements • air quality • wetlands and green space • maintenance and litter removal • parking in the downtown • emergency vehicle response and transport • fuel consumption • crime Page 260 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%% of Respondents Identifying Particular ConcernsPage 261 143rd St Extension IL 59 to IL 126 Phase I Study 06-00040-00-FP Page 1 Contact information Name: Cindy Cordial Organization/Group: Public Street Address: 14027 Naperville Rd City, State & Zip: Plainfield IL 60544 Email: ccordial@paralegalquick.com Phone: 630-546-8860 Comments from Cindy Cordial Since July 1, 2020 Previous Response from IDOT Current Response from Village of Plainfield Page 262 Page 2 Quick Stakeholder History Guide Date Event Description September 24, 2019 Public Information Meeting Shifted Alignment October 14, 2019 Email from Cordial to Village Flooding October 18, 2019 Email from Village to Cordial Flooding October 18, 2019 Email from Cordial to Village Flooding October 21, 2019 Email from Village to Cordial Flooding October 21, 2019 Email from Cordial to Village Flooding October 22, 2019 Phone Call from Cordial to Jim Curtis, Geologic and Waste Assessment Unit Chief, IDOT Central BDE Flooding October 25, 2019 Email from Village to Cordial Flooding FOIA Request October 30, 2019 Phone Call from Cordial to Raffensperger (IDOT) Noise, Floodplain, Well Contamination, requested PDR and Noise Analysis October 30, 2019 Email from Cordial to Raffensperger (IDOT) Traffic October 30, 2019 Email from Raffensperger (IDOT) to Cordial Traffic October 31, 2019 Email from CMT to IDOT Answers to Noise, Flooding, Groundwater ?

Plainfield has completed its initial drainage study. It is too big of a file to email to you, so I am hoping they submitted a copy to you. This is very concerning as a number of residents who live on the river side of the road are now being contacted by Plainfield to acquire a portion of their properties. The acquisition of additional property was not in Plainfield’s PDR that was submitted to you. We are concerned about flooding on the River side as well as the Lake side. I am not sure if you are the right contact at the state level regarding FEMA, however, this road puts at an increased risk of Flooding. If you are not please point us in the right direction. July 2nd Response: Thank you for your email below. IDOT understands your concerns noted below. I cannot answer your questions about the drainage study or potential for flooding. Hydrology and drainage studies are not my areas of expertise and must refer you to the Village of Plainfield and their consultant. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources – Office of Water Resources (IDNR-OWR) regulates IDOT construction activities in a floodplain. IDNR-OWR jurisdiction includes all watersheds equal to or greater than 1 square mile in urban or urbanizing locations and equal to or greater than 10 square miles for rural locations. I am not aware of any contacts with the property owners concerning land acquisition. At this stage in project development, the local agency is allowed to contact property owners to obtain their comments on proposed land acquisition, prepare plats, and property appraisals. For this project IDNR-OWR has granted review authority to IDOT District 1 Hydraulics for work within the DuPage River and West Norman Drain. The Location Drainage Study will also be reviewed by IDOT District 1 Hydraulics. 2. Plainfield completed its’ noise study and has determined that a sound barrier is not viable. Please note the sound from the new road is very concerning to the residents in this area. I am attaching the study. July 2nd Response: The Noise Analysis has been reviewed and approved by IDOT. This approval means that the noise analysis complies with IDOT and FHWA policies and procedures. As stated in the noise analysis, “… A final decision on the installation of the noise wall will not be made until the final design is approved and the public involvement process is complete. …” Mr. Stallworth – Please have the Plainfield project manager and the consultant meet with Ms. Cordial to discuss her concerns. Page 265 Page 5 July 2, 2020: 3. Would you please be so kind to provide the name and email for IDNR? I do not have the contact information for anyone in IDNR-OWR or even how to point you in the correct direction to get your questions answered. Please work with Plainfield to address your concerns. Please see response to comment 1. August 25, 2020: 4. One of our neighbors Ron Schrack (copied on this email) is an engineer. He has reviewed Plainfield’s preliminary drainage study and has the following comments that we are hoping you will address with us. Section 1-03.6 - The last two paragraphs are concerning and the last paragraph basically acknowledges that they are intending on diverting stormwater run- off away from Fletcher lake to directly discharge into the river. We need to confirm that this additional runoff was included in their HEC - RAS calculations. Please forward this information to the project sponsor. I do not have any of the information that you are requesting. Any comments about the draft hydraulic should be directed to the project sponsor and their engineering consultant. The hydraulic modeling of the DuPage river was performed in accordance with the best practice guidelines of IDOT and IDNR. In accordance with these guidelines, regulatory flows obtained from the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) were used for the hydraulic modeling of the DuPage River. The 2019 FIS states that the flows for the DuPage River were developed by the Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) using the State Standard Method. These are the same flows used in the 1995 FIS. The DuPage River’s watershed is 160,640 ac (251 sq mi). The catchment area within the Fletcher Lake sub-watershed being drained to the DuPage river is approximately 3.4 ac (0.005 sq mi), which would represent 0.002% of the DuPage River’s drainage area. The consideration of such a small fraction of the entire drainage area would have no significance in the watershed-scale hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the DuPage River. Furthermore, Fletcher Lake is already part of the DuPage River watershed. 5. 2-01 (3) - They are requesting an exception to the normal stormwater discharge permitting requirements. In the originally approved PDR and Hydraulic Report an exception was requested and approved. At the time of the updated draft LDS and draft updated Hydraulic Report, an exception was still anticipated. In the latest Hydraulic Report, which is under final review by IDOT District 1 Hydraulics, this exception is no longer needed. The Final LDS, which summarizes this hydraulic information, has been updated to remove this exception. The Final LDS is under review by IDOT District 1 Hydraulics. The proposed drainage system will meet all design criteria specified in section 2-01. Specifically, IDOT freeboard criteria is now met at all waterway crossings. Page 266 Page 6 6. 2-02 - Both items are marked no which needs further clarification There are no unsuitable outlets for this project, as defined by IDOT. The outlet to Main Lake has been conservatively identified a sensitive outlet based on ecological considerations. Main Lake is on the northeast corner of 143rd Street and IL 126. This is described in the updated Final LDS, under IDOT District 1 Hydraulics review. 7. 2-03 - States that no stormwater detention is required. Provide Justification. In the LDS the engineering justification is provided in section 2-03.1. 8. 2-04 - Project and Environmental Studies Section? Section 2-04 is the right of way analysis. Please clarify your specific question. 9. 2-05 - See comment to 1-03.6 Please see response to comment 4 (section 1-03.6). 10. 2-06 - Comments are concerning. Agency coordination was done in accordance with local and state regulations. Please clarify and direct concerns to the Village of Plainfield. 11. 2-07.2.6 - concerning again Please describe and direct concerns to the Village of Plainfield. 12. 3-00 - Evaluation states that the project will not increase upstream flood stages by greater than 0.1 - SHOW ME THE DATA!!!!! The problem is that 0.09 foot increase puts around a dozen homes into the 100 year flood plain including my house. Water surface elevation data is presented in the Waterway Information Tables for the DuPage River and West Norman Drain, based on the hydraulic analyses performed as part of the Hydraulic Report. A sensitive flood receptor analysis was done for the DuPage River as part of the Hydraulic Report, and determined that no homes are considered sensitive, as the critical elevations of each structure would all be above the 100-year water surface elevations. The mapped critical flood elevations and water surface elevations are described and shown in the Hydraulic Reports. Per IDNR regulations we are not increasing flood elevations by greater than 0.1 foot along the DuPage River or West Norman Drain. The DuPage River hydraulic report was recently approved by IDOT and can be seen as part of the response to this comment. Page 267 Page 7 13. The Hydro Atlas used in the report is from 1966 - REALLY? Hydrologic Atlas information is commonly included in drainage reports for historical reference. The atlas is an IDOT required section of the report. The drainage studies are based on the most current data and modeling available. 14. Where is the HEC - RAS Study. I want to see the revised limits of the 100 year floodplain.. The comprehensive hydraulic analysis and modeling for the DuPage River and West Norman Drain are included in their respective Hydraulic Reports. Please see response to comment 12. 15. Did they use the RASPLOT program? HEC-Ras was used for the modeling and profiles. The additional RASPLOT was not needed to create profiles for this project. 16. In general this is a very unusual submission with copies of a hand written field book and sketches that are free handed which is not typical for an engineering report of this importance. The sections and contents of Location Drainage Study is determined by IDOT and was followed in the completion of this report. August 25, 2020 – 2nd Email: 17. Who do we contact at state of Illinois regarding flooding concerns with the road project? I thought your department provided oversight to this Project. If this is not the case, please advise as to whom at the state level approves the Plainfield project. IDOT does have oversight of this project. IDOT staff in District 1 will be reviewing and approving the hydraulic report. I defer to Mr. Stallworth for the contact person. When the time comes, I will be giving design approval based upon receipt of the reviews and approvals of the IDOT subject experts and the recommendations of Plainfield and District 1. I will be recommending to the FHWA approval of the applicable NEPA decision. Again, please work with the Village of Plainfield and their engineering consultant to address your concerns. They are the subject experts on all aspects of this project. September 22, 2020: 18. I am reaching out to you as you as I assuming you are the project manager and are hoping you can advise as to who we contact at IDOT or NEPA regarding our flooding and noise concerns. I am copying several of the un-incorporated Plainfield residents who will also be impacted by this road. Plainfield does not care about our REAL concerns of flooding and noise. Let’s face it the 143rd Street east extension in their PDR in 2014 was only going to cost $29 million ended up being proposed by Page 268 Page 8 Plainfield in 2018 for $59million, Same length of road, only difference is Plainfield decided that they would build the road on the Lake, when ComEd denied their request, which increasing the potential of flooding and noise. See IDOT Response to comments 17 (flooding) and 2 (noise). 19. I believe you already have the noise study. But just in case you don’t, I am reattaching. If you are not the right person that provides oversight for noise, please advise who is. Based on the traffic noise analysis and noise abatement evaluation conducted, highway traffic noise abatement measures are likely to be implemented based on preliminary design. The noise barriers determined to meet the feasible and reasonable criteria are identified on the attachment. If it subsequently develops during final design that constraints not foreseen in the preliminary design or public input substantially change, the abatement measures may need to be modified or removed from the project plans. A final decision of the installation of the abatement measure(s) will be made upon completion of the project’s final design and the public involvement process. (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 23) However this has changed based on Plainfield Noise Technical Report, March 13, 2020 Noise analysis was not complete at the time the draft PDR was submitted to IDOT in December 2019, and the boilerplate text available in the PDR does not reflect the eventual finding of the Noise Technical Report. As stated by the December 2019 PDR, the noise abatement evaluation will be included in the Final PDR. This noise abatement evaluation, which was introduced in the final Noise Technical Report, found that noise barriers capable of meeting the feasibility and noise reduction design goal requirements of IDOT’s traffic noise policy were too costly to meet the cost-effectiveness requirements of the policy. Therefore, the noise barriers are not Reasonable as defined by the policy and are not likely to be implemented. Note that if barriers drop out of the analysis at the cost-effectiveness stage of the evaluation, public viewpoint solicitation is not pursued. 20. Night-time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 59. Construction on IL126 will widen the existing two lane rural highway as it approaches the intersection with 143rd Street. The roadway profile of IL 126 is being lowered which will result in removal and replacement of the existing pavement and widening of an existing box culvert. Construction activities will be staged such that existing traffic capacity can be maintained during construction. Night-time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 126. (PDR Volume 1 pp. 23) Night construction in a residential environment? IL 59 is not a residential environment in the vicinity of this project. The majority of IL 126 undergoing improvements as part of this project is not a residential environment. The primary residential areas that exist adjacent to proposed improvements include Naperville Road and proposed 143rd Street. These two roadways are not identified in the statement cited above because these two areas are not anticipated to need nighttime construction to mitigate traffic concerns during Page 269 Page 9 construction. Decisions to implement night time construction will be made by the Village and the contractor during construction. 21. 80,000 TRUCKS TO BE LEGALLY PERMITTED ON THIS ROUTE (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 6) On November 2, 2012, Plainfield’s then consulting firm Huff & Huff, states in a letter to IDOT, The 2040 traffic projections for the 143rd Street Extension show lower projected traffic along the roadway than in 2030. Traffic projections in 2040 are 19000 ADT which is 4,000 less than the 2030 projections used in the noise analysis (17% decrease). The CMAP 2019 report says 19500 in 2050 Addresses (receptors) included in the CMT sound study were commissioned for 1-hour surveys. On August 16, 2019, Jeremy Metz emailed traffic recommendations Jennifer Miller to survey the following locations (Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, pg 74): • 143rd Street at IL 126/Main Street 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:00 – 5:00 pm • Naperville Road 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:45 to 5:45 pm The PDR checkbox referencing 80,000 trucks should reference 80,000-lb trucks (gross vehicle weight) which will be allowed on proposed 143rd Street. Proposed 143rd Street will be designated a Class II truck route, just like 143rd Street west of IL 59 (US 30), IL 126, and IL 59. 143rd Street is planned to become State Route IL 126 after jurisdictional transfer. See IDOT OPER 753 for Maximum Legal Dimensions & Weights On State, Federal & Local Routes. The cited traffic projections from the 2014 PDR are no longer valid and have been superseded by the PDR addendum, which was used for the noise analysis. The August 16, 2019 email from Jeremy Metz to Jennifer Miller provides the peak traffic hours that the traffic engineering team identified as a result of studying traffic in the project area. Ms. Miller requested these hours as part of understanding traffic patterns in the area for the noise analysis. Mr. Metz was not commissioning a survey from Ms. Miller. The email describes 1-hour periods because these are the one-hour-long intervals in the morning and in the evening when the project area experiences its highest traffic. The peak hour is a standard concept used in traffic engineering. 22. On September 10, 2019, CMT surveyed 8 (eight) receptors; however, the survey was extrapolated from 16-minutes intervals (separate locations) and multiplied by 4 (four) to achieve an hourly average. This reduction of data significantly impacts the sound survey by limiting accurate measurements. Solely relying on a moment to validate an entire year of traffic. CMT also recorded the velocity of vehicles exceeding 55mph in a 35mph zone (St. Mary Immaculate Cemetery survey site). No radar gun was included in CMT’s calibrated equipment. Additionally, the CMT’s Calibration Certificate for the Sound Pressure Meter (Sound Pro SE-DL2) was 1 (one) month away from the 2- year microphone recalibration recommendation on 10- 25-19. As stated in IDOT’s Highway Traffic Noise Assessment Manual, the purpose of noise monitoring is to validate the project-specific use of FHWA’s Traffic Noise Model (TNM) and ensure that TNM properly accounts for project-level variables. The September 10, 2019 noise measurements were used for this purpose, and were never used to validate an entire year of traffic. As noted in IDOT’s manual, 15-minute field noise measurements are at the upper end of the measurement time period suggested by FHWA. During any given measurement period, the noise meter calculates the equivalent steady-state sound level, or Leq, by mathematically integrating all of the sound energy received by the meter’s microphone. FHWA has determined that in most cases, 15 Page 270 Page 10 minutes is sufficient time for the Leq to reach a steady value and the measurement can then be considered complete. The noise analyst operating the meter has the option to continue longer if the Leq has not reached a steady value at the end of 15 minutes, but that was not necessary for this project’s measurements. Traffic is counted during the 15-minute intervals so that the noise level (Leq) that is measured can be related to the volume of traffic that passes during the noise measurement. When the primary noise source in an area is traffic noise, the measured noise level should be proportionately related to the volume of traffic that passes the measurement location. Because speed is a factor in the noise level of the passing vehicles and is a required input for TNM, speed is also measured at the time of the field noise measurements. As allowed by IDOT’s manual, speed was measured using a stopwatch: CMT measured the time it took for a given vehicle to travel a pre-measured distance, and converted this feet-per-seconds data into miles per hour. No radar gun was required. The noise meter used in field measurements was within the accepted calibration time frame. Being close to the next calibration date does not indicate the need for concern over instrument function because the time period between calibrations has already been determined to be appropriate for maintaining proper instrument function. TNM models the hourly equivalent sound level, or Leq(h). In validating the project-specific model, we need to multiply the traffic volumes counted during the 15-minute field noise measurement periods by four to obtain the equivalent of one hour’s traffic for use in TNM. Per FHWA and IDOT requirements, the project-specific model is validated (shown to accurately represent project area conditions) when the traffic volumes and speeds are input into the model and the model returns a noise level that is within +/-3 dB of the field-measured Leq. Because Leq is a steady-state sound level, the Leq measured by the noise meter during the 15-minute field measurement does not require transformation before comparison to the Leq(h) returned by the model. These noise measurements were collected to validate the project’s FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM). If a model is set up correctly, then entering a certain traffic volume and speed in the model will cause the model to output the noise level produced by the traffic volume and speed. The 15-minute noise measurements were collected at the same time that traffic was counted and traffic speeds were measured on the nearby roadways. Because the model and the noise meter both present the noise level as an equivalent one-hour noise level (Leq(h)), If the model functions correctly, then entering the counted traffic and measured speeds into the model would return the measured noise level. IDOT approved the noise report and all procedures documented therein on March 31, 2020. No changes have been made to the design as reviewed by the noise analysis that would warrant reconsidering the conclusions of the approved noise analysis. 23. “Traffic Volumes” on page 13 of the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, states: “CMT’s traffic volumes were not developed with truck percentages, IDOT’s recent traffic count data published on IDOT’s Getting Around Illinois website was used to develop percentages of medium trucks (straight trucks in IDOT’s traffic data) and heavy trucks (multi-unit trucks) for the TNM [Traffic Noise Model].” Page 271 Page 11 The I-DOT website used for this data has a disclaimer: “The Illinois Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois hereby give notice to all users that these maps and the data included hereon, lack the accuracy required for site-specific uses. Since all boundaries and all data are based on information derived from multiple sources within and outside the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois make no representation, guarantee, or warrant, either express or implied, regarding the accuracy of these maps or the data furnished thereon, including, but not limited to, the condition of this product, this product's merchantability, or this product's fitness for any particular purpose or use.” Therefore, the inaccurate Truck data extracted from this resource should not be utilized by CMT. Furthermore, the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report states (pg 13, pp 3) “…residents reported very low existing truck traffic.” No residents have been surveyed for this data. Trucks are prohibited on Naperville Road; however, numerous semi-trucks disregard and continue illegal use. This was neglected by CMT’s concise survey. The IDOT website was not used for specific traffic volumes but rather for proportions of cars to trucks. This was the best data available at the time the models were developed. The resident reports of very low existing truck traffic were taken from comments made by members of the public to the noise analyst at the September 24, 2019 open house held at the Village of Plainfield Village Hall, and noting these comments was intended only to confirm that the IDOT website reflected actual conditions. CMT evaluated the change in noise level that would be caused by adding the low volume of trucks currently listed on the IDOT website for Naperville Road, and determined that no new noise impacts would result and the conclusions of the noise analysis would not change. 24. Intersections must have “clear sight triangles,” free of foliage and vegetation to maintain safe sight lines (FHWA Safety) 1. The proposal for 143rd Street intersecting with Naperville Road is abundant with vegetation and historically old trees. The removal of vegetation will further hinder sound abatement therefore Noise Barriers will become inversely more demanded. 2 According to I-DOT (pg 2): “Vegetation is not used by FHWA or I-DOT for traffic noise reduction because it would need to be at least 200-feet wide and 18-feet high to reduce noise levels by 10 dB(A).” Removal of additional vegetation will further degrade quality the Plainfield Flood Plain. Therefore, Noise Barriers would be the only viable solution for 143rd Street Project. Sound is amplified when it travels over water. Water cools the air above its surface, which then slows down the sound waves near the surface. This causes refraction or bending of the sound wave, such that more sound reaches far ends of LAKE FLETCHER. Additional sound waves skimming the surface of the water can add to the amplification effect, if the water is calm. Lake Fletcher is always calm. Without sound abatement to contain 143rd Street’s Extension, residents on all edges of Lake Fletcher will be impacted. The Federal Highway Administration identifies impact resulting from a project: Ascertaining where future predicted noise levels would approach or exceed a set of Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) established in the FHWA regulations. For outdoor uses in residential areas, the NAC is 67 dB(A); I-DOT defines “approaching the NAC” as within 1 dB (66 dB(A)) for residential areas). Therefore, locations where future noise levels are predicted to be 66 dB(A) or higher are considered “impacted.” 3 Page 272 Page 12 Vegetation is not generally recognized by FHWA for traffic noise reduction because research has shown that unless a vegetated area is as deep, tall and uniformly dense as cited in the IDOT Highway Traffic Noise Assessment Manual, vegetation does not provide measurable noise reduction. The existing vegetation cited in the comment does not meet the standard for vegetated areas that could abate noise, and therefore its removal is unlikely to have an effect on the need for noise abatement. Because it does not meet the aforementioned standards, the vegetation was not included in the project-specific TNM. The potential effects on noise propagation of Lake Fletcher were included in the project noise models in the form of a Ground Zone (TNM terminology for the model element that allows specification of a different surface flow resistivity than the model’s default) in the location of Lake Fletcher. This area was specified as water and the TNM adjusted the flow resistivity accordingly in its calculations. Please note that Lake Fletcher includes strips of mounded soil that interrupt the water surface and would tend to reduce noise propagation over the lake because the mounds introduce intervals of increased flow resistivity. Rather than including these strips and potentially lowering the resulting noise level results, the models assumed a worst case where the water surface was uninterrupted, thus potentially overestimating noise levels at receptors (residences) located across the lake from the proposed 143rd Street. Even with this potential overestimation, noise levels at the receptors located across the lake from the proposed 143rd Street did not approach, meet or exceed FHWA’s NAC. Refer to the figure “Predicted Noise Levels for Properties Facing Bass & Gill Club” in the Traffic Noise Technical Report. Per FHWA and IDOT requirements and specifically called out in Table 3-1 of the IDOT Highway Traffic Noise Assessment Manual, noise impacts to outdoor recreation areas are only considered where there is a fixed outdoor gathering space. Transient (mobile) recreational uses such as hikers on a trail or boats on a lake are not considered an outdoor gathering space. The impact to use of the lake for fishing was considered based on the nearest fixed outdoor gathering space, a dock in the southeast part of the lake. The water Ground Zone modeled for Fletcher Lake also applied to the dock.

(PDR VOLUME 1 pp 23) However this has changed based on Plainfield Noise Technical Report, March 13, 2020 Night‐time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 59. Construction on IL126 will widen the existing two lane rural highway as it approaches the intersection with 143rd Street. The roadway profile of IL 126 is being lowered which will result in removal and replacement of the existing pavement and widening of an existing box culvert. Construction activities will be stages such that existing traffic capacity can be maintained during construction. Night‐time construction is a traffic Page 275 3 management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 126. (PDR Volume 1 pp. 23) Night construction in a residential environment? 80,000 TRUCKS TO BE LEGALLY PERMITTED ON THIS ROUTE (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 6) On November 2, 2012, Plainfield’s then consulting firm Huff & Huff, states in a letter to IDOT, The 2040 traffic projections for the 143rd Street Extension show lower projected traffic along the roadway than in 2030. Traffic projections in 2040 are 19000 ADT which is 4,000 less than the 2030 projections used in the noise analysis (17% decrease). The CMAP 2019 report says 19500 in 2050 Addresses (receptors) included in the CMT sound study were commissioned for 1‐hour surveys. On August 16, 2019, Jeremy Metz emailed traffic recommendations Jennifer Miller to survey the following locations (Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, pg 74): • 143rd Street at IL 126/Main Street 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:00 – 5:00 pm • Naperville Road 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:45 to 5:45 pm On September 10, 2019, CMT surveyed 8 (eight) receptors; however, the survey was extrapolated from 16‐minutes intervals (separate locations) and multiplied by 4 (four) to achieve an hourly average. This reduction of data significantly impacts the sound survey by limiting accurate measurements. Solely relying on a moment to validate an entire year of traffic. CMT also recorded the velocity of vehicles exceeding 55mph in a 35mph zone (St. Mary Immaculate Cemetery survey site). No radar gun was included in CMT’s calibrated equipment. Additionally, the CMT’s Calibration Certificate for the Sound Pressure Meter (Sound Pro SE‐DL2) was 1 (one) month away from the 2‐year microphone recalibration recommendation on 10‐ 25‐19. “Traffic Volumes” on page 13 of the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, states: Page 276 4 “CMT’s traffic volumes were not developed with truck percentages, IDOT’s recent traffic count data published on IDOT’s Getting Around Illinois website was used to develop percentages of medium trucks (straight trucks in IDOT’s traffic data) and heavy trucks (multi‐unit trucks) for the TNM [Traffic Noise Model].” The I‐DOT website used for this data has a disclaimer: “The Illinois Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois hereby give notice to all users that these maps and the data included hereon, lack the accuracy required for site‐specific uses. Since all boundaries and all data are based on information derived from multiple sources within and outside the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois make no representation, guarantee, or warrant, either express or implied, regarding the accuracy of these maps or the data furnished thereon, including, but not limited to, the condition of this product, this product's merchantability, or this product's fitness for any particular purpose or use.” Therefore, the inaccurate Truck data extracted from this resource should not be utilized by CMT. Furthermore, the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report states (pg 13, pp 3) “…residents reported very low existing truck traffic.” No residents have been surveyed for this data. Trucks are prohibited on Naperville Road; however, numerous semi‐trucks disregard and continue illegal use. This was neglected by CMT’s concise survey. Intersections must have “clear sight triangles,” free of foliage and vegetation to maintain safe sight lines (FHWA Safety)1. The proposal for 143rd Street intersecting with Naperville Road is abundant with vegetation and historically old trees. The removal of vegetation will further hinder sound abatement therefore Noise Barriers will become inversely more demanded. 2According to I‐DOT (pg 2): “Vegetation is not used by FHWA or I‐DOT for traffic noise reduction because it would need to be at least 200‐feet wide and 18‐feet high to reduce noise levels by 10 dB(A).” Removal of additional vegetation will further degrade quality the Plainfield Flood Plain. Therefore, Noise Barriers would be the only viable solution for 143rd Street Project. Sound is amplified when it travels over water. Water cools the air above its surface, which then slows down the sound waves near the surface. This causes refraction or bending of the sound wave, such that more sound reaches far ends of LAKE FLETCHER. Additional sound waves skimming the surface of the water can add to the amplification effect, if the water is calm. Lake Fletcher is always calm. Without sound abatement to contain 143rd Street’s Extension, residents on all edges of Lake Fletcher will be impacted. The Federal Highway Administration identifies impact resulting from a project: Ascertaining where future predicted noise levels would approach or exceed a set of Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) established in the FHWA regulations. For outdoor uses in residential areas, the NAC is 67 dB(A); I‐DOT defines “approaching the NAC” as within 1 dB (66 dB(A)) for residential areas). Therefore, locations where future noise levels are predicted to be 66 dB(A) or higher are considered “impacted.” 3 Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

He has reviewed Plainfield’s preliminary drainage study and has the following comments that we are hoping you will address with us. Your prompt response is appreciated. : Section 1-03.6 - The last two paragraphs are concerning and the last paragraph basically acknowledges that they are intending on diverting stormwater run- off away from Fletcher lake to directly discharge into the river. We need to confirm that this additional runoff was included in their HEC - RAS calculations. 2-01 (3) - They are requesting an exception to the normal stormwater discharge permitting requirements. 2-02 - Both items are marked no which needs further clarification 2-03 - States that no stormwater detention is required. Provide Justification. 2-04 - Project and Environmental Studies Section? 2-05 - See comment to 1-03.6 2-06 - Comments are concerning. 2-07.2.6 - concerning again 3-00 - Evaluation states that the project will not increase upstream flood stages by greater than 0.1 - SHOW ME THE DATA!!!!! The problem is that 0.09 foot increase puts around a dozen homes into the 100 year flood plain including my house. The Hydro Atlas used in the report is from 1966 - REALLY? Where is the HEC - RAS Study. I want to see the revised limits of the 100 year floodplain.. Did they use the RASPLOT program? In general this is a very unusual submission with copies of a hand written field book and sketches that are free handed which is not typical for an engineering report of this importance.

Hydrology and drainage studies are not my areas of expertise and must refer you to the Village of Plainfield and their consultant. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources – Office of Water Resources (IDNR-OWR) regulates IDOT construction activities in a floodplain. IDNR-OWR jurisdiction includes all watersheds equal to or greater than 1 square mile in urban or urbanizing locations and equal to or greater than 10 square miles for rural locations. The Noise Analysis has been reviewed and approved by IDOT. This approval means that the noise analysis complies with IDOT and FHWA policies and procedures. As stated in the noise analysis, “… A final decision on the installation of the noise wall will not be made until the final design is approved and the public involvement process is complete. …” I am not aware of any contacts with the property owners concerning land acquisition. At this stage in project development, the local agency is allowed to contact property owners to obtain their comments on proposed land acquisition, prepare plats, and property appraisals. Mr. Stallworth – Please have the Plainfield project manager and the consultant meet with Ms. Cordial to discuss her concerns.

I am reaching out to you regarding the 143rd extension and hoping you can help: 1. Plainfield has completed its initial drainage study. It is too big of a file to email to you, so I am hoping they submitted a copy to you. This is very concerning as a number of residents who live on the river side of the road are now being contacted by Plainfield to acquire a portion of their properties. The acquisition of additional property was not in Plainfield’s PDR that was submitted to you. We are concerned about flooding on the River side as well as the Lake side. I am not sure if you are the right contact at the state level regarding FEMA, however, this road puts at an increased risk of Flooding. If you are not please point us in the right direction. 2. Plainfield completed its’ noise study and has determined that a sound barrier is not viable. Please note the sound from the new road is very concerning to the residents in this area. I am attaching the study. Please help.

The attached village 143rd Street proposed improvements strip map, how’s blue lines around the islands in the lake, indicating a rise in water level. 2. My home is on this lake. My address is 14027 S. Naperville Road. See attached google map aerial view. 3. I own land into the water. Please see subdivision of plat. I own lot 2. Page 284 12 4. If the village of Plainfield is showing water level rising along the banks of the islands, as their proposed improvement strip map indicates, this will also cause a rise in the water levels on my property. 5. Per the Feb 2019 FEMA Flood Plain map I am already zone A for Flood Plain. 6. With the heavy rains we have had this year the back 10’ portion of land has been under water for most of the spring, summer and fall. 7. I do not want this water level rising any higher as a result of the roadway. I am not sure who copied on this email is responsible for mitigating the risk of flooding when a new roadway is installed, however, I am hoping one of you can address this issue, before the Village of Plainfield continues any further drawings. Can someone provide me with a detailed analysis that Plainfield conducted of the impact for flooding on the lake side of this project for those homes on the subdivision of plat attached? If you are not the right group to discuss my concerns with, can you please point me in the right direction? As every home owner impacted by this roadway lives in unincorporated Plainfield, we do not have a voice in Plainfield.

Ms. Cordial live at 14027 Naperville Road, Plainfield, IL 60544. She explained that she purchased her house in December 2018 as her retirement home for the peaceful surroundings. Her home backs up to the strip mine lakes that abut the northern ROW limits. Ms. Cordial has three primary concerns: 1. Having a new roadway extension will bring new traffic noise where there is none currently. Ms. Cordial is principally concerned with trucks and the potential for engine braking on the new 143rd St Page 285 13 extension. Living on a lake, there will be few, if any, substantial barriers between the proposed roadway and her home to block the increased traffic noise. 2. Apparently, FEMA has redrawn the floodplain maps. When Ms. Cordial purchased her home, it was outside the floodplain. The redrawn maps put her home in the floodplain. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for increased flooding due to the lake being filled in. 3. Ms. Cordial’s home is outside Plainfield city limits. As such, she and her neighbors are on well water and septic systems. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for well water contamination due to the fill used to construct the new roadway. Her second concern is the potential for the groundwater draw down and loss of the use of the wells due to the drainage systems to be constructed. During the conversation, Ms. Cordial asked if there was anything that could be done to stop the project. I explained that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a process based regulation. If the project sponsor is able to “check all the boxes” in the process, there isn’t much to be done to stop the project. I suggested that she contact the political representatives in the area, such as county board or state legislators and senators. To resolve Ms. Cordial’s above concerns, what is the status of the following: 1. Noise analysis. What is the furthest north receptor along Naperville Road that was modeled? Does the noise analysis recommend noise wall along the north side of the proposed 143rd St extension? If so, where is the wall to be located. 2. Drainage report. Does this project propose any fill into the lakes on the north side of the proposed roadway? FEMA maps show these lakes to be a floodplain. Does the drainage report proposed compensatory storage? If so, how much and where is the comp storage to be located? Has there been any thoughts about potential impacts to groundwater? By copy on this email, the FHWA is being informed about Ms. Cordials concerns. By copy on this email, this email serves as a record of the telephone conversation I had with Ms. Cordial.

I am copying several of the un‐incorporated Plainfield residents who will also be impacted by this road. Plainfield does not care about our REAL concerns of flooding and noise. Let’s face it the 143rd Street east extension in their PDR in 2014 was only going to cost $29 million ended up being proposed by Plainfield in 2018 for $59million, Same length of road, only difference is Plainfield decided that they would build the road on the Lake, when ComEd denied their request, which increasing the potential of flooding and noise. I believe you already have the noise study. But just in case you don’t, I am reattaching. If you are not the right person that provides oversight for noise, please advise who is. Below is also a recap of our noise concerns based on the report. Based on the traffic noise analysis and noise abatement evaluation conducted, highway traffic noise abatement measures are likely to be implemented based on preliminary design. The noise barriers determined to meet the feasible and reasonable criteria are identified on the attachment. If it subsequently develops during final design that constraints not foreseen in the preliminary design or public input substantially change, the abatement measures may need to be modified or removed from the project plans. A final decision of the installation of the abatement measure(s) will be made upon completion of the project’s final design and the public involvement process. (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 23) However this has changed based on Plainfield Noise Technical Report, March 13, 2020 Night‐time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 59. Construction on IL126 will widen the existing two lane rural highway as it approaches the intersection with 143rd Street. The roadway profile of IL 126 is being lowered which will result in removal and replacement of the existing pavement and widening of an existing box culvert. Construction activities will be stages such that existing traffic capacity can be maintained during construction. Night‐time construction is a traffic management strategy that will be considered and used if necessary in order to minimize delays to IL 126. (PDR Volume 1 pp. 23) Night construction in a residential environment? 80,000 TRUCKS TO BE LEGALLY PERMITTED ON THIS ROUTE (PDR VOLUME 1 pp 6) On November 2, 2012, Plainfield’s then consulting firm Huff & Huff, states in a letter to IDOT, The 2040 traffic projections for the 143rd Street Extension show lower projected traffic along the roadway than in 2030. Traffic projections in 2040 are 19000 ADT which is 4,000 less than the 2030 projections used in the noise analysis (17% decrease). The CMAP 2019 report says 19500 in 2050 Addresses (receptors) included in the CMT sound study were commissioned for 1‐hour surveys. On August 16, 2019, Jeremy Metz emailed traffic recommendations Jennifer Miller to survey the following locations (Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, pg 74): • 143rd Street at IL 126/Main Street 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:00 – 5:00 pm • Naperville Road 7:00 – 8:00 am and 4:45 to 5:45 pm On September 10, 2019, CMT surveyed 8 (eight) receptors; however, the survey was extrapolated from 16‐minutes intervals (separate locations) and multiplied by 4 (four) to achieve an hourly average. This reduction of data significantly impacts the sound survey by limiting accurate measurements. Solely relying on a moment to validate an entire year of traffic. CMT also recorded the velocity of vehicles exceeding 55mph in a 35mph zone (St. Mary Immaculate Cemetery survey site). No radar gun was included in CMT’s calibrated equipment. Additionally, the CMT’s Calibration Certificate for the Sound Pressure Meter (Sound Pro SE‐DL2) was 1 (one) month away from the 2‐year microphone recalibration recommendation on 10‐ 25‐19. Page 288 3 “Traffic Volumes” on page 13 of the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report, states: Page 289 4 “CMT’s traffic volumes were not developed with truck percentages, IDOT’s recent traffic count data published on IDOT’s Getting Around Illinois website was used to develop percentages of medium trucks (straight trucks in IDOT’s traffic data) and heavy trucks (multi‐unit trucks) for the TNM [Traffic Noise Model].” The I‐DOT website used for this data has a disclaimer: “The Illinois Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois hereby give notice to all users that these maps and the data included hereon, lack the accuracy required for site‐specific uses. Since all boundaries and all data are based on information derived from multiple sources within and outside the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois make no representation, guarantee, or warrant, either express or implied, regarding the accuracy of these maps or the data furnished thereon, including, but not limited to, the condition of this product, this product's merchantability, or this product's fitness for any particular purpose or use.” Therefore, the inaccurate Truck data extracted from this resource should not be utilized by CMT. Furthermore, the Plainfield 143rd Extension Noise Report states (pg 13, pp 3) “…residents reported very low existing truck traffic.” No residents have been surveyed for this data. Trucks are prohibited on Naperville Road; however, numerous semi‐trucks disregard and continue illegal use. This was neglected by CMT’s concise survey. Intersections must have “clear sight triangles,” free of foliage and vegetation to maintain safe sight lines (FHWA Safety)1. The proposal for 143rd Street intersecting with Naperville Road is abundant with vegetation and historically old trees. The removal of vegetation will further hinder sound abatement therefore Noise Barriers will become inversely more demanded. 2According to I‐DOT (pg 2): “Vegetation is not used by FHWA or I‐DOT for traffic noise reduction because it would need to be at least 200‐feet wide and 18‐feet high to reduce noise levels by 10 dB(A).” Removal of additional vegetation will further degrade quality the Plainfield Flood Plain. Therefore, Noise Barriers would be the only viable solution for 143rd Street Project. Sound is amplified when it travels over water. Water cools the air above its surface, which then slows down the sound waves near the surface. This causes refraction or bending of the sound wave, such that more sound reaches far ends of LAKE FLETCHER. Additional sound waves skimming the surface of the water can add to the amplification effect, if the water is calm. Lake Fletcher is always calm. Without sound abatement to contain 143rd Street’s Extension, residents on all edges of Lake Fletcher will be impacted. The Federal Highway Administration identifies impact resulting from a project: Ascertaining where future predicted noise levels would approach or exceed a set of Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) established in the FHWA regulations. For outdoor uses in residential areas, the NAC is 67 dB(A); I‐DOT defines “approaching the NAC” as within 1 dB (66 dB(A)) for residential areas). Therefore, locations where future noise levels are predicted to be 66 dB(A) or higher are considered “impacted.” 3 Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

He has reviewed Plainfield’s preliminary drainage study and has the following comments that we are hoping you will address with us. Your prompt response is appreciated. : Section 1-03.6 - The last two paragraphs are concerning and the last paragraph basically acknowledges that they are intending on diverting stormwater run- off away from Fletcher lake to directly discharge into the river. We need to confirm that this additional runoff was included in their HEC - RAS calculations. 2-01 (3) - They are requesting an exception to the normal stormwater discharge permitting requirements. 2-02 - Both items are marked no which needs further clarification 2-03 - States that no stormwater detention is required. Provide Justification. 2-04 - Project and Environmental Studies Section? 2-05 - See comment to 1-03.6 2-06 - Comments are concerning. 2-07.2.6 - concerning again 3-00 - Evaluation states that the project will not increase upstream flood stages by greater than 0.1 - SHOW ME THE DATA!!!!! The problem is that 0.09 foot increase puts around a dozen homes into the 100 year flood plain including my house. The Hydro Atlas used in the report is from 1966 - REALLY? Where is the HEC - RAS Study. I want to see the revised limits of the 100 year floodplain.. Did they use the RASPLOT program? In general this is a very unusual submission with copies of a hand written field book and sketches that are free handed which is not typical for an engineering report of this importance.

I am reaching out to you regarding the 143rd extension and hoping you can help: 1. Plainfield has completed its initial drainage study. It is too big of a file to email to you, so I am hoping they submitted a copy to you. This is very concerning as a number of residents who live on the river side of the road are now being contacted by Plainfield to acquire a portion of their properties. The acquisition of additional property was not in Plainfield’s PDR that was submitted to you. We are concerned about flooding on the River side as well as the Lake side. I am not sure if you are the right contact at the state level regarding FEMA, however, this road puts at an increased risk of Flooding. If you are not please point us in the right direction. 2. Plainfield completed its’ noise study and has determined that a sound barrier is not viable. Please note the sound from the new road is very concerning to the residents in this area. I am attaching the study. Please help.

The attached village 143rd Street proposed improvements strip map, how’s blue lines around the islands in the lake, indicating a rise in water level. 2. My home is on this lake. My address is 14027 S. Naperville Road. See attached google map aerial view. 3. I own land into the water. Please see subdivision of plat. I own lot 2. Page 297 12 4. If the village of Plainfield is showing water level rising along the banks of the islands, as their proposed improvement strip map indicates, this will also cause a rise in the water levels on my property. 5. Per the Feb 2019 FEMA Flood Plain map I am already zone A for Flood Plain. 6. With the heavy rains we have had this year the back 10’ portion of land has been under water for most of the spring, summer and fall. 7. I do not want this water level rising any higher as a result of the roadway. I am not sure who copied on this email is responsible for mitigating the risk of flooding when a new roadway is installed, however, I am hoping one of you can address this issue, before the Village of Plainfield continues any further drawings. Can someone provide me with a detailed analysis that Plainfield conducted of the impact for flooding on the lake side of this project for those homes on the subdivision of plat attached? If you are not the right group to discuss my concerns with, can you please point me in the right direction? As every home owner impacted by this roadway lives in unincorporated Plainfield, we do not have a voice in Plainfield.

Ms. Cordial live at 14027 Naperville Road, Plainfield, IL 60544. She explained that she purchased her house in December 2018 as her retirement home for the peaceful surroundings. Her home backs up to the strip mine lakes that abut the northern ROW limits. Ms. Cordial has three primary concerns: 1. Having a new roadway extension will bring new traffic noise where there is none currently. Ms. Cordial is principally concerned with trucks and the potential for engine braking on the new 143rd St Page 298 13 extension. Living on a lake, there will be few, if any, substantial barriers between the proposed roadway and her home to block the increased traffic noise. 2. Apparently, FEMA has redrawn the floodplain maps. When Ms. Cordial purchased her home, it was outside the floodplain. The redrawn maps put her home in the floodplain. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for increased flooding due to the lake being filled in. 3. Ms. Cordial’s home is outside Plainfield city limits. As such, she and her neighbors are on well water and septic systems. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for well water contamination due to the fill used to construct the new roadway. Her second concern is the potential for the groundwater draw down and loss of the use of the wells due to the drainage systems to be constructed. During the conversation, Ms. Cordial asked if there was anything that could be done to stop the project. I explained that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a process based regulation. If the project sponsor is able to “check all the boxes” in the process, there isn’t much to be done to stop the project. I suggested that she contact the political representatives in the area, such as county board or state legislators and senators. To resolve Ms. Cordial’s above concerns, what is the status of the following: 1. Noise analysis. What is the furthest north receptor along Naperville Road that was modeled? Does the noise analysis recommend noise wall along the north side of the proposed 143rd St extension? If so, where is the wall to be located. 2. Drainage report. Does this project propose any fill into the lakes on the north side of the proposed roadway? FEMA maps show these lakes to be a floodplain. Does the drainage report proposed compensatory storage? If so, how much and where is the comp storage to be located? Has there been any thoughts about potential impacts to groundwater? By copy on this email, the FHWA is being informed about Ms. Cordials concerns. By copy on this email, this email serves as a record of the telephone conversation I had with Ms. Cordial.

See attached. CMT and the Village organized the conference call at IDOT’s request and it was IDOT’s intent for this call to address your specific concerns. The Village still intends to hold a larger stakeholder meeting with many residents, but that had been delayed due to the pandemic. Based upon my most recent coordination with the Village, the scheduling of that meeting is still on hold. I apologize for any misunderstanding of my calendar invitation. Can you please inform the other stakeholders that this is not the larger stakeholder meeting that hasn’t been scheduled yet? Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to further discussing the project on the 16th.

This meeting was held approximately two weeks after the Draft PDR was submitted; therefore, this documentation was not included in what you previously reviewed. I don’t know if her recent contact with IDOT CBLRS brought up any new issues other than the ones that are documented here, but I thought you and your counterparts should at least have a copy of the most recent coordination with the concerned stakeholder. We have clearly reached out to her on an individual basis since the public information meeting was held last September. The Village has also provided her a copy of the Draft LDS and the approved Noise Analysis at her request. The Draft LDS specifically addresses her concerns regarding water levels at Fletcher Lake. All of the action items identified in these meeting minutes have been executed. The group stakeholder meeting that the Village was eventually planning on scheduling was going to be the follow‐up to this stakeholder meeting. I hope this helps bring everyone up to speed and please let me know if you have any questions.

Please use caution with links and attachments from unknown senders or receiving unexpected emails. Randy and Tice, Thanks for your responses below. Our Central Office advised that there are several ways to handle this issue. 1. Cancel the meeting until such time as the public information meeting can be arranged. 2. Arrange an in‐person meeting similar to a citizens advisory group meeting to discuss these issues. The public involvement policies allow for more than one public information meeting to be held. Page 304 2 3. Delay the telephone call for a week or two while a webinar is prepared to accommodate the much larger crowd. I would not use Zoom as the platform for a webinar. We need to have the ability to allow people to use a chat box to submit questions. 4. Go ahead with the telephone call as scheduled. In my opinion, Option 4 is the least desirable, especially if any stakeholders or private citizens other than the Village, CMT and Ms. Cordial are on the line. Please consider the above, and confirm the Village’s preference regarding our course of action at this point.

If we are changing the purpose and scope of meeting, I’ll have to reevaluate the platform we use to host. Based on this response, I think we should cancel this meeting and address her concerns as part of a larger meeting on a date and time to be determined. This would be more in‐line with what the Village was planning for public involvement moving forward anyway. She stated her concerns are not unique; therefore, there seems to be no benefit to having a separate meeting. Randy and Scott (Allen is on vacation), what is your opinion?

Ms. Cordial live at 14027 Naperville Road, Plainfield, IL 60544. She explained that she purchased her house in December 2018 as her retirement home for the peaceful surroundings. Her home backs up to the strip mine lakes that abut the northern ROW limits. Ms. Cordial has three primary concerns: 1. Having a new roadway extension will bring new traffic noise where there is none currently. Ms. Cordial is principally concerned with trucks and the potential for engine braking on the new 143rd St extension. Living on a lake, there will be few, if any, substantial barriers between the proposed roadway and her home to block the increased traffic noise. 2. Apparently, FEMA has redrawn the floodplain maps. When Ms. Cordial purchased her home, it was outside the floodplain. The redrawn maps put her home in the floodplain. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for increased flooding due to the lake being filled in. 3. Ms. Cordial’s home is outside Plainfield city limits. As such, she and her neighbors are on well water and septic systems. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for well water contamination due to Page 317 5 the fill used to construct the new roadway. Her second concern is the potential for the groundwater draw down and loss of the use of the wells due to the drainage systems to be constructed. During the conversation, Ms. Cordial asked if there was anything that could be done to stop the project. I explained that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a process based regulation. If the project sponsor is able to “check all the boxes” in the process, there isn’t much to be done to stop the project. I suggested that she contact the political representatives in the area, such as county board or state legislators and senators. To resolve Ms. Cordial’s above concerns, what is the status of the following: 1. Noise analysis. What is the furthest north receptor along Naperville Road that was modeled? Does the noise analysis recommend noise wall along the north side of the proposed 143rd St extension? If so, where is the wall to be located. 2. Drainage report. Does this project propose any fill into the lakes on the north side of the proposed roadway? FEMA maps show these lakes to be a floodplain. Does the drainage report proposed compensatory storage? If so, how much and where is the comp storage to be located? Has there been any thoughts about potential impacts to groundwater? By copy on this email, the FHWA is being informed about Ms. Cordials concerns. By copy on this email, this email serves as a record of the telephone conversation I had with Ms. Cordial.

Page 319 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Resident Stakeholder Meeting Min Date: November 26, 2019 Page 2 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 A meeting was held at the request of select residences of Naperville Road at the Village of Plainfield Public Works on November 26, 2019. The meeting began at 6:00 pm. 1. Introductions: a. The Purpose of this meeting was to discuss issues specifically related to Fletcher Land and impacts to the Lake Shores subdivision. b. The meeting was scheduled at the request of Ms. Cordial. 2. Right-of-Way: a. The Cordial’s and Spangler’s questioned if the Village was aware that their property limits include a portion of Fletcher Lake. b. CMT acknowledged that the project team is aware of this based upon their research of the existing right-of-way and associated properties. 3. Proposed Improvements: a. The residence’s requested clarification on the blue linework shown on the proposed improvement strip map presented at the public meeting and available on the Village’s website. Their interpretation is that the blue line indicates a rise in the water level of Fletcher Lake. CMT clarified that the blue line is an approximate representation of the existing waterline of Fletcher Lake. This line is placed based upon several data sources including topographic survey, and Will County GIS data. b. The residence’s questioned that the blue areas on the strip map represent. CMT clarified that these areas are intended to be new lake area created. It was questioned if this would be a marsh or actual lake. CMT noted that through previously coordination with the Bass & Gill Club (lake owner) this area will be usable lake. c. Mrs. Barnes questioned what the area between her property and the expanded lake would look like. The Village and CMT explained that the design of this has not been finalized but will likely be a vegetated grade from the property line to the new waterline. The Bass & Gill club has expressed interest in planting trees along this area. Mrs. Barnes noted that currently she maintains a clear area beyond her property line to the existing lake edge. Mrs. Barnes noted concerns of trees being planted on Bass & Gill property obstructing her view of the lake. 4. FEMA Mapping a. The residents noted concerns that the new 2019 FEMA mapping shows their property within the Zone A floodplain and this was not the case with the previous FEMA maps. b. CMT clarified that FEMA floodplain modeling and mapping is independent of this project and the Village. The previous version of the FEMA mapping also showed the floodplain impacting the homes, an exhibit was provided for both the old and current FEMA maps. c. The Cordial’s stated that they spoke with IDOT and were informed that this project would need an independent flood study. Page 320 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Resident Stakeholder Meeting Min Date: November 26, 2019 Page 3 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 d. CMT noted that it has evaluated the flooding of Fletcher Lake and that this will be part of the Location Drainage Study (LDS). Mr. Cordial requested a copy of the LDS. CMT and the Village noted that the draft LDS is currently being completed that that it can be made available once it is completed. 5. Change in Flooding Concerns a. The residences have concerns that the proposed improvements will impact flooding of their properties. b. CMT noted that that Fletcher Lake is isolated and not connected to the DuPage River or Lily Cache Creek. Mr. Spangler confirmed and noted a sole incident where the DuPage River overtopped Naperville Road, the flood of 1996. Allen recalled this event and noted that that flood was the largest on record and vastly exceeded the 100-year storm event. c. The intent of the project is to not impact flood levels. The project will be required to follow floodplain regulations which require compensatory storage. Compensatory storage provides additional volume for flood waters to mitigate for any fill between the normal water level and the 100-year flood event. This additional volume is provided at 1.5 times the fill volume. d. Mr. Cordial requested to see the compensatory storage calculations. It was noted that these calculations will be included within the LDS. 6. Change in Normal Water Level Concerns a. The residences have concerns that filling in the pond will result in a rise in elevation of the normal water level. The Cordial’s noted that this year the water has been high and noted for a large portion of the year the water encroached over ten feet into their property. b. The Village noted that fluctuations in water levels is a naturally occurring event of any waterway independent of this project. c. The intent of the project is to not impact normal water levels. CMT stated that in the areas where compensatory storage is being excavated, the intent of the project is also excavating below the normal water level to expand Fletcher Lake and mitigate this concern. d. The residents questioned the depth of the new pond area noting that this is the deepest area of the lake. e. CMT confirmed that they have performed surveys of the lake bottom in this area and that there will be calculations to show that the fill is offset by new pond area. f. The resident’s question if the volume will be at the same rate as compensatory storage. The Village noted that it will be provided at a 1 to 1 ratio. g. Mr. Cordial requested to see the lake volume calculations. It was noted that these calculations will be included within the LDS. 7. Past Studies a. The residents recalled a study done on extending 143rd Street with a conclusion that the extension would not resolve traffic issues in Plainfield. This study was estimated to have been completed around 2000. b. The Village recalled this study and noted that the conclusion was based upon the benefits not outweighing the costs at the time of the study. The study noted that Page 321 Village of Plainfield 143rd St Extension Phase I Addendum Resident Stakeholder Meeting Min Date: November 26, 2019 Page 4 of 4 CMT No. 18024201.00 other avenues to resolve traffic may be more appropriate such as additional lanes to Route 59 and rerouting of US 30 which have since been completed. The Village noted they will attempt to find this report and if found make it available. c. At present the cost benefit analysis favors the extension of 143rd Street. The 143rd Street Extension project has been recognized by Will County, IDOT, and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning as providing local and regional benefits to traffic congestion. 8. Open Discussion a. The residents noted that their primary concern is impacts to water levels and flooding and that that was the intent of this meeting. b. It was noted that the residents have several other concerns and would like to discuss these at future meetings. These include impacts to property value, noise, traffic, and light pollution. i. Property Value: The Village and CMT noted that impact to property value is not an exact science and that is dependent upon several factors including constant change in communities. Currently there is no formal program mandated by State or Federal government regarding potential impacts to properties surrounding a federally assisted project. ii. Noise: It was noted that the noise analysis is currently being completed. iii. Truck Traffic: It was noted that Naperville Road is not currently and is not proposed to be a designated truck route. Residents noted current truck traffic. The Village explained that there are instances where trucks can legally travel this roadway. iv. Lighting: It was noted by the Village that roadway lighting is not currently anticipated. CMT clarified that lighting will be installed at the intersection as a safety measure. Additionally, a sightscreen fence is planned along the north side of the roadway along Fletcher Lake. This will function to minimize salt spray from snow plowing and will block vehicle headlights. c. The Village welcomed additional meetings after the new year and additionally expressed their willingness to assist the residents in understanding the various reports requested and received. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:15 pm. Page 322 Page 323 Page 324 Jeremy Metz240.0000 ' / in.

Due to the re-route, it is anticipated that the old IL Route 126 will have less traffic and therefore less periodic pavement deterioration and require less maintenance by the Village. As part of the IL Route 126 re-route, IDOT will operate and maintain the improvements while the Village of Plainfield will maintain the old IL Route 126.

The Comprehensive Plan also contemplates residential expansion further west of Wallin Drive. The reduced delay times related to the Project is expected to make this residential expansion more viable.

Recently, the Village was approached by DHL about the potential for two one million square foot buildings on the west side of the community near 143rd Street. The direct connection to I-55 through the 143rd Street extension will improve accessibility and enhance the market potential of the vacant rural land west of the Village.

The Project would greatly improve long-term efficiency as seen by the reduction in travel time. Decreased travel time for raw materials and employees could potentially lower overhead costs for local business and thus impact future growth and location decisions. It would also improve Illinois’s position as a national leader in freight movement. BCA Benefits: Economic Competitiveness$ Source: Source: U.S. Air Force photo by Lisa M. Macias Page 344 SB Friedman Development Advisors 15 Access to Labor Force: 50% Increase This is due to the travel time to access I-55, falling from 9 minutes to 3 minutes from the assumed point of origin. This increase will serve as an incentive for future business development due to the improved access to labor force. Source: ESRI, SB Friedman [1] According to the US Census, the average commute time for drivers in the Chicago metropolitan area is approximately 30 minutes. [2]This increased commuter-shed was created based on ESRI Network Analyst accounting for peak hour traffic and roughly correlates to the distance that “Google Maps” predicts can be traversed from the point of origin at around 4:10 PM on a week day.

Ms. Cordial live at 14027 Naperville Road, Plainfield, IL 60544. She explained that she purchased her house in December 2018 as her retirement home for the peaceful surroundings. Her home backs up to the strip mine lakes that abut the northern ROW limits. Ms. Cordial has three primary concerns: 1. Having a new roadway extension will bring new traffic noise where there is none currently. Ms. Cordial is principally concerned with trucks and the potential for engine braking on the new 143rd St extension. Living on a lake, there will be few, if any, substantial barriers between the proposed roadway and her home to block the increased traffic noise. 2. Apparently, FEMA has redrawn the floodplain maps. When Ms. Cordial purchased her home, it was outside the floodplain. The redrawn maps put her home in the floodplain. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for increased flooding due to the lake being filled in. 3. Ms. Cordial’s home is outside Plainfield city limits. As such, she and her neighbors are on well water and septic systems. Ms. Cordial is concerned about the potential for well water contamination due to the fill used to construct the new roadway. Her second concern is the potential for the groundwater draw down and loss of the use of the wells due to the drainage systems to be constructed. During the conversation, Ms. Cordial asked if there was anything that could be done to stop the project. I explained that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a process based regulation. If the project Page 354 2 sponsor is able to “check all the boxes” in the process, there isn’t much to be done to stop the project. I suggested that she contact the political representatives in the area, such as county board or state legislators and senators. To resolve Ms. Cordial’s above concerns, what is the status of the following: 1. Noise analysis. What is the furthest north receptor along Naperville Road that was modeled? Does the noise analysis recommend noise wall along the north side of the proposed 143rd St extension? If so, where is the wall to be located. 2. Drainage report. Does this project propose any fill into the lakes on the north side of the proposed roadway? FEMA maps show these lakes to be a floodplain. Does the drainage report proposed compensatory storage? If so, how much and where is the comp storage to be located? Has there been any thoughts about potential impacts to groundwater? By copy on this email, the FHWA is being informed about Ms. Cordials concerns. By copy on this email, this email serves as a record of the telephone conversation I had with Ms. Cordial.

The Village has worked with the Bass & Gill Club to evaluate alternatives on their property through the lake. Based upon the evaluation of the alternatives along with input from the club, the Village has selected a hybrid fill and retaining wall alternative that reduces impacts to the lake, including reducing the amount of floodplain fill, compared to the other alternatives. Furthermore, the Village has worked with ComEd to relocate an IDOT‐ required shared use path from proposed ROW to existing ComEd property, further reducing impacts to the lake and floodplain fill. In addition, the Village has worked with IDOT to reduce the standard 18‐foot wide 143rd street segment (non‐intersection) median in the vicinity of the lake, down to an 8‐foot width, to further reduce impacts to the lake. The proposed roadway improvements will follow the local floodplain ordinance and provide compensatory storage for floodplain fill at Fletcher Lake at a 1.5:1 ratio. The preliminary locations of compensatory storage improvements for Fletcher Lake floodplain fill were shown on the strip map at the public involvement meeting. They were denoted with the blue filled shapes adjacent to existing Fletcher Lake at the southwest and southeast quadrants of the lake. Scott R.

To follow up on our conversation, it is my understanding, from FEMA that you are the Local FEMA Flood Plain Administrator and as a result the local government employee responsible for hazard mitigation. With regard, to the 143rd Street extension, my question to you is not technical. Could you please be so kind to find out if the Village planning department used the February 2019 FEMA flood plain map for their plan? Please let me know as soon as possible. If they did not use the February 2019 FEMA flood plain map, please advise how you, as the Local FEMA Flood Plain Administrator, plan to rectify to ensure Plainfield’s 143rd Street Extension plan incorporates the 2019 FEMA flood plain map, as homes that are on Naperville Road are now in Flood Plain Zone A per the 2019 FEMA flood Plain Map. Per the FEMA website: “Hazard mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. It is most effective when implemented under a comprehensive, long-term mitigation plan. State, tribal, and local governments engage in hazard mitigation planning to identify risks and vulnerabilities associated with natural disasters, and develop long-term strategies for protecting people and property from future hazard events. Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.” Thank you, Cindy Cindy Cordial P: 815.782.5312 M: 630.546.8860 ccordial@paralegalquick.com www.paralegalquick.com * Paralegal Quick is a freelance paralegal firm.

The older version you noted that your local district manager provided is was eliminated based upon coordination with Commonwealth Edison and impacts to their overhead electrical transmission facilities. Regarding the land acquisition process, an initial offer will likely come forth in the third quarter of 2020. To aid in facilitation of the appraisal process, can you please clarify CubeSmart’s preference to maintain the existing portion of the facility not directly impacted by the project or for the Village to acquire the entire facility.

To date, we have seen a variety of different maps and are having a hard time determining which is accurate. The first attachment was sent to us by a local district manager and it shows the extended roadway running immediately adjacent to our existing facility. The second attachment was pulled from the website that you provided our Director of Facility Services, Joe Duddy, and it shows the roadway running directly through the heart of our property. Can you please clarify which is these depictions is accurate? The second attachment is much more concerning than the first from our perspective. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. If the second attachment is correct, when can we expect an initial offer for the condemnation from the village? We are happy to work with this city in moving the project forward, but the taking proposed in second attachment would Page 364 2 effectively amount to a condemnation of our entire property. We are curious as to how the city plans to address that issue if they move forward with that proposal. Any information that you could share on that front would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns for me, please let me know. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Best Regards, ‐‐ Garret J.

We would not be able to run a profitable operation with the remaining units, so we are of the mind that the village would need to acquire the entire facility. If there is anything that we can do to assist with the appraisal process, please let me know. Thank you for this information. Whenever the city is ready, they can forward the initial offer to my attention at the address below. We look forward to working with the city on this project. Have a great day.
