, v <br /> Table 3. PROGRAM OUTLINE FOR WS-II <br /> A: GOAL <br /> Protect water supplies in moderately developed watersheds fro. being <br /> polluted by point and nonpoint sources and allow the watershed to <br /> remain in a moderately developed state. . <br /> A. APPROACH <br /> 1. State Action - Limit the nuaber' and type"( NPDES applications <br /> (Point sources) to be peraitted in a WS-II watershed to doaestic <br /> . . discharges only. Exceptions say be made by the EMC for some . <br /> dining and nor-process industries. <br /> 2. Local Action - develop a coeprehensive nonpoint source control <br /> orocraa to reduce water Pollution from huaan activities within <br /> the watershed fros agriculture. commercial & residential <br /> development, eining, landfills, forest and fros toric L hazardous <br /> materials. Under some ctrcu.starces a water supply having a <br /> potential WS-II rating say request a WS-I classification. This . <br /> would require documentation of steps to be taken in rexoving any <br /> point source (within 3 months). After one year. dacuaentatitn <br /> . must be submitted to DEM rnich._irdicates the progress toward.. _. <br /> resoval of these point sources. <br /> C. LOCAL ACTIDHS (Honnoint sources) <br /> I. Entire Watershed <br /> a) local sedimentation and errstor control progray, <br /> b) county. soil and water plans for criteria erosion areas, <br /> . c) land use sapping and planning.' <br /> d) recommended land use re5uiati3n5, <br /> l) all new development control the first 1.1 inch of runoff <br /> (development with density greater than 12 tnpertous <br /> coverage) <br /> ?! 50 foot siniaus vegetative buffer adjacent to a!! <br /> perennial tributaries :greater distances .ay be needed <br /> . depending on slope and soil type). <br /> 3) all hazardous aaterials use and stored will be <br /> inventoried. <br /> 2. Critical'Area - portion of watershed where water supply intake is <br /> located. . <br /> al area to encompass one half er one vile frri reservoirs <br /> conservation pool elevation or one ails distance upstreas <br /> fro, water intake (1/2 aile if watershed is less than 100 <br /> . - square miles) - - . - . . . <br /> b) recommended land use regulations, <br /> 1) no sewer'connections except to deal with specific problem <br /> areas; halted number of small businesses. <br /> 2) no coeaercial .or industrial development. <br /> 3) new development halted to h% iepervieus coverage (1 <br /> . welling/2 acres or'B0,000 square foot lot size), <br /> 4) vegetative buffer around reservoir at.least 100 feet and <br /> greater depending on soil type and slope; stream or river. ._ _ . t - . <br /> used as direct intake will have buffer 100 feet fros <br /> banks landward for a'distance of 112 or 1 Bile upstreaa <br /> (1/2 silo if watershed is less than 100 square Riles) <br />
