Capitol <br />9 <br />Region Watershed District Board of Managers adopted the Villa Park Wetland Restoration Project <br />10 <br />Preliminary Design Report on May 2, 2012. The project calls for the removal of ~20,000 cubic <br />11 <br />yards of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated sediments via hydraulic dredging <br />12 <br />and geotextile tube dewatering.
