Impacts of Erosion and Sedimentation on Water Resources Problem 4.6.A Soil erosion and sediment transportation associated with past and new development may have impacted the quality of water and storage volume available within Silver Lake and Mirror Lake. Corrective Action 4.6.A The City will continue to perform stormwater system maintenance to address sedimentation and siltation in area lakes, streams, stormwater storage basins and ditches. The City regularly inspects and maintains outfalls throughout the city consistent with its MS4 program. Problem 4.6.B Current programs need additional enforcement mechanisms to limit soil erosion from areas under redevelopment within the City.
