6. Uhenever practical, storm sewers will be routed to detention basins' <br /> before discharging to lakes and streams (rather than being routed <br /> directly into lakes or streams). <br /> <br />Stormwater Runoff <br /> <br />1. The WMO encourages the optimal use of lakes, ponds, and wetlands <br /> throughout the watershed for storing stormwater runoff and improving <br /> water quality and related amenities. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />The WMO encourages and will assist in planning for the retainment of as <br />much precipitation as possible on and in the soil. Temporary surface <br />storage facilities and infiltration techniques will be used wherever <br />practical. <br /> <br />3. Stormwater management improvements will be designed based on the <br /> critical storm event for the drainage area. <br /> <br />4. Subwatershed discharge rates and flood storage volumes shall be <br /> maintained to be consistent with the management plan. <br /> <br />5. The WMO recognizes that runoff volume will increase with further <br /> development of the watershed; however, the W-MO will require that peak <br /> runoff rates be kept below the capacity of downstream conveyance <br /> facilities by use of a regional detention management approach. <br /> <br />Drainagewav Maintenance <br /> <br />1. Member municipalities will maintain waterways and water management <br /> structures between pr~tected and managed water resources in <br /> coordination with the WMO. <br /> <br /> <br />
