District-wide Watershed Management Plan

The District-wide Watershed Management Plan sets forth strategies and recommendations for effective watershed management and stormwater control. The watershed plan provides requirements for local programmatic efforts, including six model ordinances which provide for post-development stormwater management, floodplain management, conservation/open space development, illicit discharge and illegal connection controls, litter control and stream buffer protection. Additional measures for TMDLs, source water watersheds, substantially impacted areas and comprehensive water quality monitoring programs are also included. The watershed plan includes provisions for extensive public awareness and education efforts.
