the maximum extent reasonable to avoid adverse impacts. <br />11. Development that results in the creation of impervious surfaces must <br />explicitly address use of best management practices (BMPs) to first limit <br />the loss of pervious area; and second, to: <br />a. infiltrate runoff which does occur from impervious areas to the <br />extent feasible considering site-specific conditions and/or <br />b. reuse runoff for irrigation and other appropriate uses <br />12. All new and redeveloped stormwater management structures and facilities <br />shall be maintained in perpetuity either through dedication of the facilities to <br />the City through an easement or through a maintenance agreement between <br />the landowner and the City. <br />5.5. Wetlands <br />5.5.1. Goal <br />The City of Hugo will protect and manage wetlands in conformance with the <br />requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. <br />5.5.2. Policies <br />1. Policies in areas such as volume management and water quality reduce <br />the degradation of wetlands which preserves them as areas of <br />groundwater recharge. <br />2. The City of Hugo will tape responsibility of local governmental unit duties <br />for wetland management in conformance with Wetland Conservation Act. <br />2. Prior to any site development activities, the City will require a site inspection <br />to identify the location and extent of any wetlands present. The proponent of <br />the site development shall have the burden of providing to the City a report <br />showing the on-site inspection and delineation of all wetland areas by a <br />qualified consultant. If any wetland encroachment is proposed, wetland <br />values and impacts will be evaluated on a case by case basis in conformance <br />with the rules associated with the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 and <br />those of the Watershed District. A functions and values assessment utilizing <br />Nh R.AM will be required for all proposed wetland alterations. For any <br />alteration of a wetland not regulated by WCA, a functions and values <br />assessment must be completed. If it is determined that the functions and <br />values of the wetland will be diminished, replacement must be at a 1:1 ratio. <br />3. Any review of a proposed wetland encroachment will initially address the <br />issue of avoidance. It will be the City's policy that prior to allowing any <br />wetland encroachment, all reasonable attempts to avoid such alteration must <br />be demonstrated. This avoidance review must also consider the <br />reasonableness of the no build alternative. <br />5.6.
