Developers, by reducing initial <br />development costs with features such as <br />smaller stormwater pipe and lower <br />stormwater basin costs. <br />Everyone, by providing better quality <br />water in our lakes and streams. <br />How PRESERVING INFILTRATION WORKS <br />FOR You <br />• Mimics natural lath cape <br />• Reduces runaffvolume and flooding <br />• Slows runoff so it does not pick up pollutants <br />• Decreases cost of streets <br />• Decreases maintenance costs <br />• Can reduce storm sewer costs <br />WATERSHED DISTRICT GOALS <br />The soils in the northern half of the watershed <br />are especially conducive to infiltration. We <br />want to use this capability to the advantage of <br />all. <br />The philosophy of the Rice Creek Watershed <br />District regarding runoff volume management <br />is. <br />• Erg minimize the creation of impervious <br />surfaces to limit runoff from happening in <br />the first place, and <br />• Second; maximize infiltration of runoff <br />that must occur. <br />The first philosophy is addressed by council <br />and township - officials and the . second by <br />municipal and development designers. <br />District rules and regulations regarding <br />stormwater runoff and infiltration tration can <br />be found in the companion document, <br />Stormwater Infiltration Guidance. <br />By limiting the loss of pervious surfaces, <br />through practices such as narrower streets, <br />municipalities gain several advantages. <br />Reduced construction costs (less <br />materials and preparation needed). <br />• Reduced maintenance costs (less area). <br />• Reduced mature tree loss associated with <br />narrower streets and smaller parking <br />spaces. Less mature tree loss helps <br />create an enhanced community <br />environment. <br />*1 Traffic calming/reduced speeds for more <br />pedestrian friendly neighborhoods. <br />Desirable: Narrower streets mean smaller <br />ponds, lower _ construction cost, and lower <br />long -term maintenance costs. <br />Undesirable: Are 32 -foot wide streets <br />necessary on a two-block long street? <br />• <br />
