3. <br />4. <br />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. <br />The City will promote farming practices designed to conserve the soil <br />and ground water. Where farming occurs in the rural areas, the use of <br />innovative tilling methods, land banking, crop rotation and wind breaks are <br />encouraged to protect the native soil from erosion and deterioration. Animal <br />sanitation methods will be enforced to assure minimal pollution of <br />drainageways or ground waters. <br />I <br />I <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />CMP 3A - 29
