community waterways and the waterways of our nation.<br />

Many communities across Ohio have adopted ordinances to manage stormwater by controlling erosion<br />

and sediment pollution (non-point source) as well as protecting waterways by adopting Riparian<br />

ordinances for vegetative protection and wildlife habitat along local waterways.<br />

Responsible local action may be accomplished by adopting ordinances to meet water quality measures<br />

recommended by the stormwater management plans. The Conservation Development document in<br />

Appendix C is provided to jurisdictions to allow the flexibility of choice in water quality management.<br />

Jurisdictions may choose between adopting the Riparian model or the Conservation Development model<br />

as the responsible selection for that jurisdiction.<br />

Model Language Documents are provided in Appendix C to assist area communities in northwest Ohio<br />

to define and adopt water management ordinances. Model language is provided as a guideline resource<br />

for communities. The model documents are intended for review and revision by legal authorities of<br />

the jurisdiction.<br />
