CITY OF <br />LINO LAS <br />10/24/94 <br />Wetland Resources <br />Management System <br />The wetland policy is supported by the following points which <br />establish the framework for SUWRMS. <br />1. The preliminary and secondary functions of a wetland, in <br />relation to an overall drainage system must be considered <br />in its designation. <br />2. Major maintenance efforts are not intended for all <br />wetlands. <br />3. The natural treatment of storm water is encouraged. <br />4. Alteration of wetlands, which involves changing the nature <br />of wetlands to provide water quality improvement is <br />discouraged. <br />5. Each designation has its own characteristics and <br />management practices. <br />System Description <br />:Wetlands are identified by functional designation and regulatory <br />agency. Wetland designations are ordered from I through IV <br />based on their function(s) and associated value(s). A letter code <br />defines the regulatory agency. The enclosed Figure 14 illustrates <br />a matrix of management functions /values. Table 1 gives a more <br />detailed description of each designation. A description of the <br />regulatory codes is also induded (Table 2). <br />The primary function of each designation is indicated by a "P" in <br />the management matrix while any secondary functions or values <br />are denoted by "S ". A general management level is also associated <br />with each wetland type. The primary function of Designation I <br />wetlands is to provide soluble and particulate pollutant removal. <br />These areas also require the greatest maintenance commitment. In <br />contrast, the primary functions of a Designation III wetland is to <br />provide habitat and recreational benefits, generally requiring less <br />maintenance. <br />Local Water Management Plan SEH No. A- LINOL9402.00 <br />Reference Document ., Page 54 <br />
