CITY OF <br />LINO LAS <br />10/24/94 <br />Wetland Resources <br />Management System <br />The regulatory codes are arranged to denoting Municipality (M), <br />County (C), Federal (F), State (S), and Other (0). The codes are <br />assigned based on each agency's wetland inventory. In cases <br />where wetlands are not identified by an agency, are not part of the <br />municipal drainage system, or were created after the <br />aforementioned inventories were completed, it is given a Code "0". <br />In some instances, where overlapping regulatory authority exists, <br />a multiple - letter code can be used to denote the appropriate <br />agencies. <br />An example using this system would be Designation II -F. This <br />indicates that the areas primary function is flood control and that <br />the Federal Government has regulatory authority. <br />Coordination with Other Management Techniques <br />The process of applying SUWRMS to urban wetlands involves <br />assessing needs and resources. Existing models and evaluation <br />methods should be followed to provide the assessment. Based on <br />needs and resources, the SUWRMS designation is determined. The <br />following flow chart illustrates the SUWRMS process. <br />Advantages and Disadvantages <br />The advantages of the SUWRMS method are as follows: <br />1. Simple to use; <br />2. Flexible appeals process; <br />3. Easily understood; <br />4. Considers wetlands use and function; <br />5. Solidifies many wetland management elements; <br />6. Considers regulatory authority; <br />. 7. Defines management practices; <br />8. Easy to administer; <br />9. Can accommodate a "No Net Loss" policy; <br />10. Allows for projection of maintenance costs. <br />Local Water Management Plan SEH No. A- LINOL9402.00 <br />Reference Document Page 56 <br />
