Since the total amount of filling which can be permitted is limited, the City, when considering permit applications, shall consider the equal apportionment of fill opportunity to riparian land owners. Total filling shall not cause the total natural floor storage capacity of the wetland to fall below the projected volume of runoff from the entire area wetland water shed generated by a ten year storm. Total filling shall not cause the total natural nutrient strip- ping capacity of the wetland to fall below the n~trient product- ion of the wetland water shed for its projected development. Only fill, free of chemical pollutants and organic wastes, may be used. Wetlands shall not be used for solid waste disposal. c) Development shall be conducted so that the maximum number of trees are preserved by the locating of structures in existing cleared areas and natural clearings, and the utilization of other site design techniques.

Development shall not reduce the existing crown cover greater than 50% and shall be conducted in such a manner as to preserve the under story and litter.
