APPENDIX A
WATERSHED SURVEY SITE INFORMATION
AND RATINGS
EXPLANATION OF SITE EVALUATION RATINGS
Impact of Site |
|
High: | Direct discharge into the Marsh or a water body with obvious signs of pollution. |
Medium: | Direct discharge into the Marsh or a water body with no obvious signs of pollution, or discharge into a buffer with obvious signs of pollution. |
Low: | Discharges into a buffer with no obvious signs of pollution. |
None: | No apparent discharge from the site. |
Technical Level to Install |
|
High: | Requires an engineered design to correct the situation, such as would be required for a stormwater treatment system. |
Medium: | Requires a construction contractor with the necessary expertise and equipment to correct the situation, such as would be required for installing rip rap. |
Low: | Landowner would be capable of correcting the situation using their own design and equipment, such as could be done by planting vegetated buffers. |
None: | Does not require any technical expertise to correct a situation, such as picking up after dogs. |
Cost |
|
High: | Applies to projects requiring engineered designs and considerable earthmoving and installation of structures. |
Medium: | Applies to projects with relatively limited earthmoving required, such as for reshaping ditches. |
Low: | Applies to projects that could be conducted with hand labor, such as planting buffers. |
None: | Applies to situations where an activity or ceasing an activity will have no added cost. |
