It will include <br />recommendations for future regulation of storm water runoff to the lakes, and <br />requirements for Best Management Practices in the watershed area. The final <br />plan for storm water management facilities for proposed improvements to <br />Northwestern College will meet the requirements identified in the TMDL study <br />and other Watershed and State requirements for storm water management at <br />the time that the final plan is completed and constructed. <br />TKDA Project No. 13529.002 Page 17 Draft Date: July 9, 2007
