J. Design Flexibility 1 . Allow for deviation from water resource protection requirements when design solutions are proposed which result in either a net improvement in the existing functional values of streams, wetlands and their buffers, or greater protection than the standards would otherwise provide. 2. Allow for a modification of geologically hazardous area development standards when it can be sufficiently demonstrated that a site can be safely developed without hazard to life or property; or impact upon environmentally sensitive areas. K. Construction Management Establish sufficient construction management standards to be applied both during and after development which will prevent erosion, sedimentation, siltation and damage to downhill and downstream properties. L. Watershed Management Develop and implement strategic watershed restoration and protection plans. M. Wildlife Habitat Plans Develop and implement wildlife habitat management plans cooperatively with public and private conservation groups. N. Acquisition Evaluate methods other than development regulations which may be appropriate for acquiring or permanently protecting environmentally sensitive areas. 0. Community Involvement Implement programs which promote public education, intergovernmental cooperation, clean-up campaigns, tree planting, and other innovative methods which will involve participation of a broad base of citizens and civic groups in order to protect the environmentally sensitive areas of the community P. Education and Public Awareness Educate and inform the public on water quality enhancement and erosion control measures such as maintaining vegetation on and adjacent to steep slopes and in natural drainage areas, proper disposal of pollutants, and proper use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. envipol2 1/
