appendix G - expanded programmatic action plan This is an expanded version of the Programmatic Action Plan Tables included in Section 5.2. In addition to the information included in Section 5.2, these tables also include location, goals and objectives addressed, priority , lead implementor, supporting implementor, time frame, projected cost, and status (to be f lled in by the committee or organization responsible for tracking plan implementation.)

Watershed Use the site development planning and approval process to encourage watershed-friendly development A7 D3 D4 F3 16 1 M LC S varies wide practices and designs that protect watershed resources and water quality by right rather than by exception. G3 Establish incentive programs for developers to implement conservation and low impact development Watershed planning and design practices and techniques. These incentives could include expedited permitting and 17 A7 F3 3 M LC M varies wide review procedures, density bonuses, tax credits, cost-share, or fee reductions for early projects that serve as demonstrations and free technical assistance.

Make it easy for developers and builders to incorporate best management practices recommended by this watershed plan into new developments or redeveloped areas. Modify zoning and development standards to Watershed facilitate implementation of the watershed plan recommendations. This could include the following: review and 18 A7 F3 2 M LC M varies wide update development standards, add incentives such as density bonuses, park and open space donation credits, and other incentives, for preserving the green infrastructure system. Within new developments, easements or deed restrictions should be placed on lands identif ed as Category 1 parcels on the Green Infrastructure Plan.

Allow cutting of trees on ravine slopes where A7 C3 F3 1 M S varies wide G-5 appropriate for ground cover vegetative restoration. Require proper removal and proper disposal of cut trees.

Watershed Prohibit dumping of grass clippings, leaves, or other natural or man-made f ll or debris that may damage A7 C3 E1 19c 2 M S varies wide underlying vegetation or prevent re-vegetation on ravine slopes. E2 F3 Encourage the use of on site inf ltration techniques to reduce direct stormwater f ow from impervious surfaces Watershed 19d into the ravines. Where stormwater can not be inf ltrated on site, prohibit downspout pipe and/or sump pump E1 E2 E7 F3 1 M LC SMC S varies wide outlets on or within 10 feet of or on steep ravine slopes. Allow discharge at the bottom of the ravine.

Watershed Limit concentrated stormwater discharges to ravines to storm events larger than the 1-year frequency. Level 19e E7 F3 1 M SMC M varies wide spreaders may be required to distribute concentrated f ows across a large area.

Adopt and enforce f exible local zoning and subdivision standards that allow adaptable, nontraditional designs for development that minimize negative impacts from stormwater runoff and nonpoint source pollution.

Watershed Standards should limit runoff volume increases, minimize impervious surface area, manage stormwater on site D3 D4 E1 E2 20 2 M LC M varies wide using BMPs, and minimize land disturbance during and following construction. This action is most relevant for E7 F3 F6 G3 Highly Vulnerable Critical Subbasin #35, which is at risk for land use conversion that may result in signif cantly higher imperviousness.
