38 surface water quality protection plan. It would seem appropriate to require such a plan for the golf holes where tree removal was necessary. This plan could be included in the site management/BMP plans that are already required. It seems that 6.23.7 number three should be included in the plans discussed within number 2. This helps to avoid redundancy and to encourage comprehensive planning, thus the plan encompasses the use of new vegetation to prevent erosion, minimize sedimentation, and to maximize the assimilation ofpotentially mobile pollutants. Comment#5-Within the applicability section of 8.8.7.1, the requirement for existing golf courses should be defined as 50%or more of the total acreage of playable golf holes. Often greens are reconstructed in order to help with BMP's. Greens constitute less than 5%of the total acreage on a golf course, but renovation of nine greens would constitute 50%of the holes as the draft currently states. The total acreage requirement would seem more reasonable. Within 8.8.7.2 "A categorized biological inventory"may be more appropriate to a given site and much less subject to misinterpretation, with the exception of species currently protected under the Endangered Species Act. Within subpart h., a requirement to submit a comprehensive Strategic Environmental Management (SEM)plan that includes a Resource Management and Mitigation Plan as a part of(or in addition to)the BMP submitted,once again avoids redundancy and encourages greater integration. The IPM plan could serve a component of the SEM plan. Suitable IPM program requirements would include: 1)a summary of the predominant types vegetation and approximate total acreage to be managed along with, 2)the pest problems associated with each that could occur within the first few years of operations, and 3) when possible,provide a list of the types of compounds that may be used(categorized by chemistry rather than trade names)and the biological methods appropriate, in the event the previously identified pest problems should occur. Within this plan,the proposed methods of oversight should be summarized as well(scouting,hand sampling,mechanical monitoring techniques, etc.). j. -This is already required by law Within 8.8.7.3 part a, numbers three and four- these requirements may not be unreasonable but more detail as to the basis or the foundation for the selected parameters should be stated(statistics, hydrogeological data, insurance requirements, etc.). In number five, a 50'to 75'minimum would seem adequate if the facilities are designed with the appropriate containment and recycling systems in place. The presence of closed loop systems and/or facility design should provide for the option for lesser distance requirements on a site by site basis. Within part c-number 2 strike screened(enhanced may be a better term). In number 3, facilities shall either provide on site composting and recycling . . . or provide a proof of contract with public or privatized composting and recycling vendors. Within part e-the requirement in(1)f is unreasonable unless the county is willing to provide assistance with capital costs for handling the trees for timber purposes. In(2), strike screened, (enhanced may be a better term). In(5),selection of turfgrasses should be based on local 2
