'Ihe City should focus on working with residents, businesses, and schools to identify ways that it can promote environmental awareness, such as developing an educational program that focuses on sustainability, waste reduction, and environmental stewardship. Ordinances As a regulatory tool, ordinances can provide standards that define areas or feanires that need protection or preservation. They can also introduce regulations to assist in achieving a desired end. Comprehensive Surface Water Manage- ment Plan "Ihe Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan discusses local methods to further joint goals and poli- cies regarding surface-water management while assess- ing problems and proposing corrective actions. The Capitol Region Watershed District completed its Surface Water Management Plan in 2000, and the Rice Creek Watershed District completed its Water Resource Management Plan in 1997. Both watersheds are in the process of updating their watershed plans. Within two years after those plans are approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), the City will need to prepare a new CSWMP. Periodic amendments may also be required to incorpo- rate changes in local practices. Future TMDL Studies 'Ihe City recognizes that the responsibility for comple- tion and implementation of the TMDL studies lies with the primary stakeholders contributing to the impairment. '17�e City intends to cooperate with the watersheds in the development of the TMDL studies, acknowledging that the watersheds will take the lead on these studies. It is the intention of the City to fully implement the items/actions identified in future TMDL Implementation Plans, funding the implementation items/actions as necessary. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Adopted: October 26, 1009 Environmental Protection � 8-11
