New developments meeding 10% imperviousness should include stormwater controls designed <br />to replicato and maintain the hydrographic cendition at the site prior tq the change in landscape. <br />2. Uso landscaping that consists of non- invasive native species and Low Impact Development (LID) <br />technology. Using native species instead of ornamentala should provide bctitftts by reducing the <br />Hoed for water, fertilisers, and pesticides. Using LID technology in landscaping will not only <br />help maintain the predeveiopment hydrologic regime, but also enhance the aesthetic and habitat <br />value of the site. <br />3. Sediti1ent and erosion controls measures should be installed prior to any laud clearing or <br />construction_ These measures should be routinely inspected and properly maintained. Excessive <br />silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects on aquatic resm. ces WhIding <br />destruction of spawning habitat, sufft=don of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.
