These may include erosion and sediment control, <br />storm water management, wetland protection, buffers, shoreland or <br />flood plain protection, and critical area management ordinances. <br />A list of resources on the Metropolitan Council's website provides <br />links to sample ordinances. <br />The municipality must identify ways to reduce stormwater quantity <br />and improve its quality.
