Mitigation

Forest Resources

PI

Land Use Planning - encourage development in Town Center and growth corridors, as well as tree and urban forest preservation Parks and Recreation Master Plan UDO - Conservation/Buffer District – promotes preservation of forest resources - Open Space Preservation - Riparian Buffers and Floodplain Protection Wetland Protection through CWA Section 404 and Section 401 Endangered Species Act Land Use Planning Parks and Recreation Master Plan Erosion and Sediment Control Program– plan view and pre-construction process; monitoring UDO - Conservation/Buffer District – protect environmentally important areas - and open space preservation - Riparian Buffers and Floodplain Protection - Stormwater Programs - Phase II requires runoff volume be controlled - Sanitary Sewer Installation – stream crossings with directional borings

Conversion to other uses Reduction in air quality; increase in near-surface air temperature; habitat fragmentation

PI

Shellfish or Fish and their Habitats

Possible aquatic habitat degradation Disruption of food chain; reduction in aquatic insect number and diversity through loss of riffle habitat by increased siltation and increased low- flow conditions; reduction in potential for long-term population sustainability
