RARDCOVER ORDI11>+MC't - In 1975, the Orono City Council adopted an ordinance !imiting <br />the percentage of lot -area that -can be covered with impervious au.faces (•hardcover') <br />such as roes, driveways, sidewalks, etc. on properties located within 1,000 feet of <br />a lake. Stue_ies have shown that sediments, oils, and debris carried into the lake <br />from highly urbanized areas have a detrimental impact on the quality of water in the <br />1• e. The intent of Orono's ordinance is to ensure that rainfall run-off will be <br />cleansed by filtering through grassed or vegetated yard areas before entering the <br />lake. <br />B.
