Retrofit existing county drains and private storm water ponds to detain first flush and bank full events; remove sediment; reduce nuisance geese and fecal contamination Construct new facilities on public land, easements or acquisitions Incorporate water quality treatment of storm water runoff and flow into ongoing maintenance programs Bring "New" drains under County Drain and MDEQ regulatory authority Ensures that money is available to fund new staff, projects, and commitments Locates improper pluming connection reduces associated contamination Reduces flow and allows for upstream infiltration, reduces fecal contamination Reduces downstream flooding, and improves storm water management in areas that predate current regulations Protects channel stability and bank wasting, prevents erosion and sedimentation Ensures that critical maintenance needs, sediment and debris removal, bank stabilization Recontour and revegetate streams that have been mitigated for flow or armoring and rip-rap Reduces erosive run off that undermines stream systems Incorporate sump clean out into normal maintenance of storm drains Offers critical water quality treatment serving roads, lawns and parking lots
