program to reduce invasive species, especially buckthorn." The proposed <br />landscape plans are conceptual at this time. The College is beginning a process <br />to develop a Landscape Master Plan for the campus that will provide detailed <br />plans for the future of the campus landscape. The College has identified several <br />issues for this plan, including proper care of the natura! communities on the <br />campus, Best Management Practices for stormwater management, and <br />appropriafe landscaping for shoreland zones. The issues raised in the comment <br />will be addressed as the Landscape Master Plan for the campus is developed <br />and as the detailed plans for the campus improvemen�� are developed for <br />submission to the City. �� <br />22. Comment: With the projected changes to the ecology, the amount of stormwater <br />runoff will increase and its quality will decrease. j� <br />�'an� � �=-� <br />Response: Comment acknowledged.

Comment: Buffer zones are not required by either City.

Comment: There is concern wit' `° rosion along the shoreline. The current <br />proposal includes more roadwa -, und the perimeter carrying potential for <br />even more erosion with more opp' " nity for pollutants to run directly into the <br />lakes. Mandatory buffer zones of n��rve and unmowed vegetation along its <br />,��„ `lakeshores might be considered as good mitigation measures for all properties <br />on these two impaired waters. <br />for the ca� <br />landscape. <br />Qroper care <br />for lak�� <br />detailec� <br />the City. <br />►e City is beginning a process to develop a Landscape Master Plan <br />� that will provide detailed plans for the future of the campus <br />�;s- College has identified severa/ issues for this plan, including <br />�:�,� e natural communities on the campus, Best Management <br />�ormwater management, and appropriate landscaping for <br />�es.

Comment: Stormwater increases with every inch of impervious surface created. <br />TMDL studies of both lakes should perhaps be done to see what additional <br />capacity, if any, Lake Johanna and Little Lake Johanna have. <br />Response: The College is 94.64-acres in size and the entire combined drainage <br />area to both lakes from the RCWD HydroCAD model is 3, 893-acres. The <br />College comprises only 2.4 percent of the entire drainage area.
