<br />. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Best Management Prac- <br />tices (BMP) as Small <br />Scale correcttive mea- <br />sures. <br />Small scale measures are <br />best managment techniques <br />that solve problems unique to <br />an area and are less intrusive <br />in tennsof heavy equipment <br />and capital expenditure. Small <br />scale measures may be more <br />appropriate in situations where <br />broad application solutions <br />become to expensive or do <br />not meet a cost/benefit test. <br />Examples of small scale <br />BMP's are: Weirs to reclaim <br />already existing storage areas <br />in favor of less effective sedi- <br />ment ponds; Pretreatment <br />basins at pipe outflows for <br />easy cleaning; Deep rooting <br />plants strateg ically placed for <br />erosion control and seasonal <br />water infiltration; and the <br />required use of deep-rooting <br />or special seed/plant mixes in <br />water quality target zones . <br />There are many other possi- <br />bilities which include engi- <br />neered solutions, These <br />methods offer lower project <br />cost, enhancement of the <br />natural habitat and less long <br />L . <br /> <br />7) Use Best Management <br />Practices In New or Repair <br />Project Planning <br /> <br />7)Recommendation: <br /> <br />Use Best Management Practices (per Water Management <br />Plan) in the planning and permitting of all new projects. <br />Integrate water quality planning as a check. off item in all <br />City projects. Use the latest technology and develop to . <br />standards higher than the minimum required whenever the <br />benefitJto cost is justified in the long term. <br /> <br />Method/Implementation: Use the most cost effective <br />BMP's, Establish AH specific BMP's in the Water Manage- <br />ment Plan and apply appropriate scale technology that has <br />a favorable long term benefit to cost, Identify elements of <br />any project that enhance or detract from water quality, .. <br />Use the Water Management plan as a guideline to identify · <br />resources and techniques for small-scale improvements <br />and upgrades. <br /> <br />Cost/resources: Additional engineering and planning re- <br />view per water management plan.
