Unless effective zoning and planning is put into place, a watershed can become builtout in a relatively short time span. This particular illustrates the rapid development of a watershed over just a few decades. Notice the jump in the amount of development that occurred in the watershed from the 1960s to 1970s.

Center for Watershed Protection
Land Use and zoning categories can be used to predict and estimate the amount of impervious cover. For an area zoned, agriculture, you can expect this area to have an impervious cover percentage around 1.9%. A subdivision that has 1 dwelling unit per 2 acres is about 10.6% impervious. As you can see, it doesn’t take a whole lot of development to reach 10%.

This slide illustrates how impervious cover can alter the geomorphology of a stream channel.
In watersheds with less than 5% impervious cover, streams are typically stable and pristine, provide a variety of habitats, maintain a diverse aquatic population and have good tree coverage.
While this stream at 8-10% Impervious Cover is still relatively stable signs of stream erosion are more apparent, and there is some loss of good habitat.
The surrounding area of this stream is approximately 20% impervious cover. Stream erosion is much worse than in the previous slide due to an absence of vegetation to hold together bank structure. The amount of erosion has been so great that the drain pipe that once rested on the stream bottom is now 2 feet above the water.
This stream has a surrounding area of approximately 30% impervious cover. The channel is deeply cut down, there is little to no bank vegetation to prevent erosion, and there is little habitat structure.
Above 65% impervious cover, the stream geomorphology is typically completely destroys by channelization. Concrete or pipes provide little to no habitat and support little to no aquatic organisms.

Communities have found that no matter what watershed they are working in, the same 8 basic management tools are needed to mitigate the impacts of development: watershed planning, land conservation, aquatic buffers, better site design, erosion and sediment control, stormwater management, non-stormwater discharges, and watershed stewardship programs.

This presentation provides a simple introduction to the eight basic watershed protection tools. These tools are essential to the protection, preservation, and restoration of our lakes, streams, and estuaries. The challenge for the watershed manager is to select the right combination of practices to form the most effective plan based on the specific goals of the watershed.
For more information on the watershed protection tools, please consult the Rapid Watershed Planning Handbook, 1998, available from the Center for Watershed Protection, 8391 Main Street, Ellicott City, MD 21043. Visit us online at www.cwp.org.

Why it is so hard to integrate land use into local watershed plans?
1. Over-Zoning 2. Segregation between comprehensive
and environmental planning3. Uncertainty about the BMP effect 4. Confusion about scope of watershed
plans 5. Lack of a watershed zoning unit

What practices can minimize the expected decline in stream indicators, and by how much?
1. Apply all 8 Tools of Watershed Protection 2. Set goals for retaining forest cover,
riparian continuity and overall watershed treatment
3. Keep on Testing

techniques.Copyright 2000, Center for Watershed Protection
Parking lots are often underutilized and can be minimized through better site design techniques. Approximately 65% of total impervious cover in the landscape is "habitat for cars," in the form of parking lots, roads, and driveways. Much of this impervious cover is often needless and can be minimized at every stage of parking lot and residential street planning and design.

Tool 6: Stormwater Management Practices
.
Recharge
Practices handle five different kinds of rainfall events
84
Stormwater treatment practices in the watershed are often designed to achieve a specific target for phosphorus removal. Stormwater treatment can include Better Site Design techniques on residential lots and stormwater treatment practices such as ponds and wetlands for new development. For drinking water reservoirs, stormwater treatment practices should be sized and designed for maximum phosphorus removal. It is necessary to compute pre and post development phosphorus loads in order to determine how much load reduction is required. If it is not possible to meet the required reduction, a fee can be paid in lieu or stormwater practices can be used to provide phosphorus reduction elsewhere in the watershed.
