GUIDELINES

According to the Moonlight Basin Design Guideline, site designs are to preserve existing drainage patterns and minimize erosion and sediment transport to minimize downstream water quality impacts. Storm water runoff should be managed on-site to the greatest extent feasible by using environmentally sensitive storm water management practices, and thefollowing criteria:

• The Owner is responsible for controlling the drainage resulting from Residential Site development and may not direct a higher volume of water off-site than originally existed.

• Existing drainage patterns are to be maintained and protected both during and after construction.

• New drainage ways are to appear and function like natural drainage ways and utilize materials native to the Residential Site.

• All visible portions of drainage structures are to be faced with DRBapproved material.

• Provisions for snow storage and snowmelt are required and shall be shown on the Site Plan Submitted to the DRB

GUIDELINES

Plantings are to be selected to minimize the need for permanent irrigation.

• Group plant materials according to their water consumption needs.

• Water conservation devices and techniques are required.

• Conventional spray irrigation is limited to defined lawn areas. Sodded areas are discouraged. These systems are to be fully automatic.

• Automatic irrigation systems are required at all revegetation areas. The systems may be abandoned when plantings have been clearly established after a minimum of two growing seasons.

• No irrigation is permitted within 2’-0” of any roadway.

• Irrigation equipment is to be screened from off-site to the extent practicable
