Impact on Local Government (8410.0110) Existing Local Controls 8410.0110 -Impact on Local Government Subpart 1. Existing local controls. Each plan shall review the impact of local controls and programs required by the plans according to part 8410.0100. This review shall include concerns expressed by counties, cities, and townships with respect to their administrative and financial . capabilities to adopt and enforce the controls and programs in addition to a table that generally describes the status of local controls and programs of affected counties, cities, and townships with respect to that required by the plan. The philosophy to the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization relies on each member city to address their own water resource management issues and to work cooperatively with each other to resolve intercommunity related issues. The impact of local controls and programs varies from community to community. Those communities that are nearly fully developed, will feel a different impact than will a developing community. Compliance with water resource regulations in a developed area often requires expensive retrofitting up the land acquisition to control runoff. Conversely, compliance for a developing community may have less impact because the community can take a proactive approach to implementing programs and developing comprehensive plans to put in place the necessary infrastructure to avoid future water resources problems. The status of local controls and programs are listed in Table 11.
