However, as is typically the case with most developments, the post - development conditions will <br />result in an overall increase of runoff volume. This increase in runoff volume is likely to only occur in the <br />George Watch Lake Watershed because the storm water management plan establishes a drainage system <br />that routes nearly all runoff from the site to the east and into the George Watch Lake Watershed. Runoff <br />from impervious surfaces that are within the Marshan Lake Shoreland District is directed to a series of <br />infiltration basins/ponds that eventually outlets to a wetland, which is tributary to another extensive wetland <br />complex located in the George Watch Lake watershed. Therefore, the increase in runoff volume from the <br />site will have no net effect on the Marshan Lake Watershed and Shoreland District. <br />1 <br />
