When possible, existing natural drainage ways, wetlands, and vegetated soil <br />surfaces must be used to convey, store, filter, and retain storm water runoff <br />before discharge to public waters. <br /> <br />B. Development must be planned and conducted in a manner that will minimize the <br />extent of disturbed areas, runoff velocities, erosion potential, and reduce and <br />delay runoff volumes. Disturbed areas must be stabilized and protected as soon <br />as possible and facilities or methods used to retain sediment on the site. <br /> <br />C. When development density, topographic features, and soil and vegetation <br />conditions are not sufficient to adequately handle storm water runoff using <br />natural features and vegetation, various types of constructed facilities such as <br />diversions, settling basins, skimming devices, dikes, waterways, and ponds may <br />be used. Preference must be given to designs using surface drainage, <br />vegetation, and infiltration rather than buried pipes and man-made materials and <br />facilities. <br />
