Protect Natural Wetlands from Stormwater <br /> Preserve and enhance high qualit��natural wetlands. These unique communities and resources should not <br /> be designed to receive stormwater. Use onl_y constructed or artificial wetlands to filter waters and manage <br /> stormwater. <br /> Maintain Creek Channel Clear of Obstructions <br /> Tree and plant debris in the creek is a natural occurrence in a stream svstem. The material provides <br /> habitat for wildlife and should be left whenever possible. However, accumulations of debris can result in <br /> blockages and problems «�ith creek flow. The Stream Obstruction Removal Guidelines instructs that <br /> material be removed in an environmentall��sound manner in order to maintain the stream svstem. Consult <br /> this reference for further information. <br /> Reduce Nutrients to Receiving Waters <br /> 1. Apply N-P-K in accordance�ith University of Illinois Agronomy Handbook. The most effective <br /> method for reducing nitrate loading to water sources is to reduce the amount of fertilizer applied. <br /> 2. Establish wetlands or buffer strips to remove nitrates. <br /> 3. Combine conservation tillage practices with nutrient ma.nagemeirt. <br /> ----------------------- - <br /> Conservation Practices Estimation of practice � <br /> �____________ ! needs for watershed ! <br /> Nutrient Management 10.000 acres I <br /> Farm Tiles <br /> Stormwater flow from developments should be denied from outleting through existing farm tiles.
