4. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Adopt storm water management and erosion control regulations for design and construction

Storm Water Management and Erosion/Sediment Control
• Storm water management reduces quantity, and improves quality, of runoff in the watershed
• Site based approach reduces long term costs to community

5. STREAM AND WETLAND SETBACKS
• Adopt stream and wetland setback zoning regulations

Best Local Land Use Practices
Case Study Project
Developed by CDM, Inc.
Under the Direction of Ohio Lake Erie Commission and Cleveland State University
Project Description
Develop case studies that illustrate and increase understanding of the land development implications of implementing OLEC Best Local Land Use Practices
Engage stakeholders in land development in identifying key opportunities and barriers to use of best practices
Use case studies in training workshops
Project Objectives
Resolve real and perceived barriers to acceptance of best practices by: Developers Local Governments Buyers / tenants
Illustrate how properly-applied best practices can reduce costs and enhance property values
Provide adequate detail to support cost-effective implementation
Be repeatable for on-going education
Managing Storm Water Quantity
Impervious Surface: surface with minimal infiltration
Impervious surface model: 5 to 8 % change triggers degradation of watercourses
This report calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
