Management Practices Priority

Reduce impervious surfaces as one measure to control runoff and erosion. Research has shown that impervious levels of 8%–12% represent a threshold where small changes in urganization can cause major changes in stream condition (Wang et al. 2001). There are also many BMPs that may be alternatives to reduce runoff. Encourage use of pervious paving materials where feasible.
