determining goals and desires for the watershed, such as, developing a recreational trail along the river. During the public participation process, the public was given the opportunity to express their watershed desires. The public identified the following watershed desires: • Address pollutants entering watershed • Increase public education and awareness • Determine a funding mechanism for program • Assure that measurable actions are developed to track program success Friends of the Looking Glass River Likewise, the stakeholders were also given an opportunity to develop a list of watershed desires. This list was prioritized by the stakeholders and is provided below: 1. Sustained Funding Mechanisms 2. Increase Zoning Options 3. Increase and Enhanced Recreational Opportunities 4. Wetland Preservation 5. Increase Public Awareness 6. Increase Riparian Buffers 7. Slow Storm Water Runoff Velocity 8. Increased School Programs 9. Balanced Watershed Resources 10. Protect Storm Drain Inlets – Stenciling /Neighborhood Stewardship 11. Flood Control 12. Diverse, Enhanced Aquatic Life 13. Increase Tourism 14. Decrease Sediment Loading 15. Preserve Open Space 16. Allow water reuse on development sites References Center for Watershed Protection, Rapid Watershed Planning Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for Managing Watersheds. 1998 Draft Motor Oil Brochure: GLRC 2005 Section 4: Community Outreach 4-7
Introduction 5. Stressor Summary Watershed management planning requires an understanding of the causes and sources of pollutants and other stressors (e.g., hydromodification) in the watershed, a quantifiable measurement of the pollutants and other stressors affecting the watershed, and a comparison of the current levels of pollutants and stressors against required water quality metrics (i.e., water quality standards). This section presents significant information that is sometimes redundant with other sections. This is because the analyses presented herein are best understood if all pertinent information is presented. Section 3 presented a detailed description of the causes and sources affecting conditions in the subwatershed, as well as the water quality metrics used to assess watershed conditions. Each of the causes and sources described in Section 3 result in one or more types of pollutants or stressors that adversely impact the watershed. This section provides a more detailed look at the primary pollutants and stressors generated by those causes and sources. It is important to note that the problem assessment and stressor summary for the subwatershed reflects the best sources of data available at the time of analysis. The analysis will change over time as a result of new data collected and changes in the metrics used to assess water quality data. Watershed management planning is an iterative and dynamic process that requires the use of adaptive management, allowing strategies to evolve as new information becomes available. The analysis contained in this Section will require regular re-assessment and re-evaluation as new data become available to ensure that strategies and priorities reflect the most accurate and most recent information. Status of Designated Uses Based on the MDEQ-defined waterbody impairments and other information in Section 3, as well as the input summarized in Section 4, the designated uses that are threatened, impaired, or of indeterminate status have been identified and are presented in Table 5-1.
