The committee discussed how Homer Glen should handle tree preservation rules, including whether some nuisance trees should still count as having environmental value. Members noted the trees can help with erosion control, air quality, noise reduction, and shade, and they discussed whether mitigation should require replacing trees or using a lower fee. The committee also heard that the Illinois EPA has said the NRG coal plant must clean up coal ash in the Lincoln Stone Quarry, which was described as a concern for a large aquifer used by people on wells.
