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