<br />PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS FOR NPDES <br /> <br />Public Safety Element (page 19) <br /> <br />Proposed Objective <br />buffer zones and <br />vegetation from the <br /> <br />3.0: Preserve wetlands, riparian corridors, <br />establish reasonable limits on the clearing <br />project site. <br /> <br />and <br />of <br /> <br />Proposed Implementation Program: Limit disturbance of natural water <br />bodies and drainage systems to conserve natural areas; protect slopes <br />and channels; and minimize impacts from storm water and urban runoff on <br />the biological integrity of natural drainage systems and water bodies. <br /> <br />Conservation Element (page 22-23) <br /> <br />Existing Policy & proposed addition: Encourage water conservation <br />through design and facilities features of new developments through the <br />use of water quality wetlands, biofiltration swales, watershed-scale <br />retrofits, etc where such measures are likely to be effective and <br />technically and economically feasible. <br /> <br />Proposed policy: Establish development guidelines for areas particularly <br />susceptible to erosion and sediment loss. <br /> <br />Proposed policy: Provide for appropriate permanent measures to reduce <br />storm water pollutant loads in storm water from the development site. <br /> <br />Proposed policy: Minimize changes in hydrology and pollutant loading; <br />require incorporation of control, including structural and non-structural <br />and Best Management Practices to mitigate the projected increases in <br />pollutant loads and flows. <br /> <br />Proposed policy: Ensure that post-development runoff rates and velocities <br />from a site have no significant adverse impact on downstream erosion and <br />stream habitat. <br /> <br />Proposed (Implementation) program addition: Maintain <br />regional watershed and storm water management principles. <br /> <br />compliance <br /> <br />with <br /> <br />Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element (page 25) <br /> <br />Proposed Objective 4.0: Encourage the use of water quality wetlands, <br />biofiltration swales, watershed-scale retrofits, etc. in existing and new <br />open space, parks and recreation facilities where such measures are likely <br />to be effective and technically and economically feasible. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 1 <br />15D~kt <br />
