Watershed Protection Clause Samples
The Watershed Protection clause establishes requirements and responsibilities for safeguarding the quality and integrity of water resources within a specified area. It typically mandates that parties take measures to prevent pollution, manage runoff, and avoid activities that could harm the watershed, such as improper waste disposal or unapproved land alterations. By setting these standards, the clause helps ensure the long-term sustainability of water supplies and mitigates environmental risks associated with development or land use changes.
Watershed Protection. In addition to the natural resource management requirements described in Section 17.14, the Developer shall also:
17.15.1 Establish a 150 foot development buffer (“Buffer) from the shoreline of the Lake, measured horizontally inland. Within this Buffer, development shall be prohibited. Development encroachment within this Buffer, if deemed necessary by the Developer, must be approved by the City’s Watershed Protection and Planning Development and Review Departments as if it was an administrative variance meeting the required findings as described in City Code 25-8-42 and following existing administrative variance procedures.
17.15.2 Develop an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan based on current scientific principles that minimize potential environmental impacts of pesticide use on the Premises. The Developer shall obtain approval of the Integrated Pest Management plan from the City’s Watershed Protection Department; and
17.15.3 Seek early consultation during the design process from the City’s Watershed Protection Department in the completion of the Environmental Resource Inventory required by City Code. The City’s Watershed Protection Department will provide suggestions for critical environmental feature buffers and wetland mitigation where needed, which may help reduce the number of site plan revisions required for permitting.
Watershed Protection. Water Quality, Erosion Control, and Soil Damage
(a) Purchaser shall comply with all applicable State and Federal laws and regulations pertaining to water quality in connection with any operations under this contract.
(b) Purchaser shall take every reasonable precaution not to pollute or obstruct any stream, lake, or reservoir on or near the contract area in connection with any operations under this contract.

(c) Purchaser shall undertake every reasonable measure to minimize erosion and soil damage in connection with any operations under this contract, including but not limited to construction of water bars on yarding and spur roads as designated by the Authorized Officer. Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any construction, wood product harvesting, or hauling operations under this contract, upon receipt of written notice from the Contracting Officer that due to weather or soil moisture conditions, such operations will cause excessive damage to the soil. The Contracting Officer shall notify Purchaser, in writing, when such operations may be resumed.
Watershed Protection. The resources saved by the flexibility and the ex- periment will be used in watershed protection ac- tivities, including inspections of vehicle maintenance facilities, recycling centers, junkyards, salvage yards, municipal and school district fleet service operations, and construction sites; establishment of a remote creek monitoring network; and incorporation of pollution preven- tion best management practices into the local code of ordinances. The City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ FPA includes the following commitments: • EPA expected to promulgate a site-specific rule, amending 40 CFR 403. EPA will work with TNRCC to issue the necessary permits, orders, or other actions to be undertaken to implement this project. – On October 3, 2001, EPA promulgated a rule amending the National Pretreatment Program regulations to allow POTWs that have completed the Project XL selection process, including FPA development, to modify their approved local pretreatment programs. These POTWs will be allowed to modify their programs, and implement the new local programs as described in their FPAs. Project Status and Results • TNRCC has committed to promulgating a rule adopting the regulatory flexibility granted by EPA. The agency will work with EPA to issue the necessary permits, orders, or other actions to be undertaken to implement this project, and propose for public comment any permit or per- mits needed by the City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under this project. • The City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will request a modified Phase II stormwater permit from the TNRCC (issued on effective date of Phase II program) that takes into account the watershed protec- tion efforts being put forth through this project. • The City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will collect and analyze environmental data from the area being moni- tored and submit periodic reports tracking the progress of the project. The city will continue to submit regulatory reports on the non-waived requirements of its pretreatment program. • Along with other watershed protection activi- ties, the City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will either purchase property or encourage the implementation of protective practices in predominantly undevel- oped drainage areas within the city boundaries. • As one activity to reduce pollutant loading in the POTW influent, the City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will attempt to backtrack from lift stations to po- tential source contributors in an attempt to identify the sources of nickel and lead in the wastewater. • City of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ personnel will be able to redi- rect their efforts to those sites ...
Watershed Protection. The Watershed Protection Department will provide drainage services in accordance with and as limited by applicable codes, laws, ordinances and special agreements. Drainage planning and maintenance are fee-based services.
Watershed Protection. Developer must prepare and submit to the City its plan for creation and maintenance of water quality ponds and the development of a Natural Area Management Plan (herein so called), including an Integrated Pest Management Plan (as that term is defined in the Code as of the Effective Date), for the restoration of the wetlands currently located on or established as part of the Natural Area Management Plan; a Riparian Maintenance Plan for the creek that currently runs through the Property; and identify the arborist Developer wishes to use to provide guidance on selecting the species of trees to be planted in the Property. The parties acknowledge the Environmental Resources Inventory prepared by Horizon Environmental Services, Inc., and dated February 17, 2023, as referenced in the Community Zoning.
Watershed Protection. 1. All legal and operational protections for the Bull Run Watershed Management Unit controlled by the City of Portland must be maintained at current levels or strengthened. If protections are loosened by other government entities, PWB must notify DWS.
2. All known trespass points will be monitored on a routine basis, and reasonable efforts must be made to eliminate potential unauthorized entry.
3. Any human sewage within the Bull Run watershed must be contained within portable toilets or permanent sanitary facilities. Where possible portable toilets or sanitary facilities must be kept at least 200 feet from any stream, lake, or reservoir within the watershed, except when being transported for disposal outside the watershed. Any portable toilet that cannot be physically located more than 200 feet from a stream, lake or reservoir must have secondary containment to prevent the release of waste. PWB must ensure that pump-outs and transport of portable toilets are performed with extreme caution to prevent spills and releases.
4. Within 30 days of the effective date of this original Agreement, PWB must propose submitted, and OHA approved, a plan for conducting field inspections and water and scat sampling within the Bull Run watershed. Implementation of the plan will begin upon approval of the plan by DWS. The plan will include included:
a. Objectives, methodology, rationale for selected approach, sample collection, analytical methods, and quality control specifications.
b. Field inspections of high-risk areas in the watershed including the boundary, the fence around the diversion pool, suspected locations of illicit activities or human entry/camping, high risk soil erosion areas, sanitary facilities, or other areas as identified by PWB. Inspection frequencies must be described in the plan and may vary by inspection type, but must occur no less than annually. Observations to be noted during the inspections include the visual presence of debris or water contamination, trash, human wastes, high concentrations of wildlife scat or other unusual signs of wildlife, evidence of fire or landslides, and any evidence of domesticated animal wastes. Any suspicious activity or potential Cryptosporidium source, excluding wildlife, will be fully investigated and re-inspected as necessary.
c. Semi-annual environmental sampling in priority locations. At a minimum, this must include sampling wildlife scat in high risk areas and sampling water in major tributaries to the Bull Run ...
