Watershed Planning

A watershed plan is a tool to enhance the character of the watershed. It describes the watershed area’s resources, addresses social and environmental concerns, and identifies development and other activities that are most beneficial to the watershed as a whole. Watershed plan goals include:

• Minimizing the amount of impervious surfaces.
  
• Creating, preserving, protecting, and restoring ecologically sensitive areas important to watershed functions.
  
• Preventing or reducing impacts to streams.
  
• Avoiding or preventing detrimental effects from development.
  Preserving and protecting trees and other vegetation, as well as soils.
