gWVIRQNMENt JUNE, 1980 <jh* statistical result of this study was the realization that a nature ytorm water drainage and filtration system was economically practice for Orono, but that excessive urbanization would outstrip the nature capacity of most of the wetlands leading to flooding potential and to increasing levels of nutrient pollution in Lake Minnetonka. Three o the twelve study recommenaations are cost significant in terms of t e effect on this CMP; 1. Every available means should be utilised to preserve the natural water storage and treatment system, which is one of Orono's best assets. 2. The City of Orono should protect land adjacent to marshes which require more than their total existing areas to control storm water runoff and preserve the water quality. 3. The City of Orono should acquire suppl*»-entary land which is needed to preserve the integrity of the natural system of pollution treatment and runoff control. orono's FNVTRONMENTAL protection CQMMITMENI «onrc".z"ns exp.c/th.ir forefather's heritage to live or. for generations to come.
