CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan <br /> 3. Rural wetlands and marshland will be maintained and protected for <br /> surface water retention and filtration. As total watershed population <br /> increases, even at our relatively low rural densities, the volume of runoff <br /> increases as does the nutrient input. Upland marshes and wetlands will <br /> be required for flood control water retention and for maximum nutrient <br /> assimilative capacity. For all new development, and for existing <br /> development where feasible and practical, man-made stormwater <br /> management facilities will be established to au�ment the natural s st�s. <br /> 4. The City will promote farming and animal mana�ement practices <br /> designed to conserve the soil and ground water and minimize <br /> pollution. Where farming occurs in the rural areas, the use of innovative <br /> tilling methods, land banking, crop rotation and wind breaks are <br /> encouraged to protect the native soil from erosion and deterioration. <br /> Animal sanitation methods will be enforced to assure minimal pollution <br /> of drainageways or ground waters. <br /> 5. Land use standards will limit the impact of rural encroachment on <br /> Orono's rural lakeshore areas. Minimum lot widths will space out <br /> docks and structural encroachments while increasin� areas of natural <br /> ve�etation. The Citv will establish re�ulations to limit the number of <br /> boats per property and the amount of public waters available for�rivate <br /> dockin� and boat starage. The City will support efforts to minimize boat <br /> traffic and the impacts of development on the smaller lakes, many of <br /> which are desi�nated as Natural Environment lakes and which cannot <br /> withstand motarized boat traffic without sustaining severe environmental <br /> dama e. <br /> CMP Part 3A Appendix <br /> n r�;�., �,,,,�,.:i uo�„i„�;,,,, �+nti�� n a„r�oa n,,,.,,�� i�: �nni <br /> �� ".�y �..,���.,.. �.����u.���z „� <br /> A - Rural Oasis Project Report <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3A-51 <br />
