Management practices are to emulate the natural ecosystems that sustain mutually beneficial relationships among species, after years of adaptation. Methods of recycling matter through composting will utilize waste to release basic elements into the soils. The most sustainable management practices include the use of natural forms of fertilizers to supplement the self- sustaining characteristics inherent in most plants. GRAND PARK DESIGN OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES Landform Objective TO CREATE LANDFORMS WHICH FACILITATE THE ESTABLISHMENT AND GROWTH OF DESIGNATED PLANT COMMUNITIES. Landform Policy 1: Mounds and Swales. Create a landform system of north-south aligned mounds and swales. Guidelines: 1.1 The landform of development projects within the Planning Area should conform with the landform concept illustrated on Figure 4-1. 1.2 Mound slopes should be designed to range from four to ten percent. 1.3 Swales between mounds should be designed to collect and filter water run-off. 1.4 Accessible trails and paths should be planned to interconnect the various plant communities illustrated on Figure 4-1. Landform Policy 2: Lakes and Ponds. Develop lake and pond features to sufficiently accommodate the Phase I and IT flood water storage capacity requirements, provide wildlife habitat, accommodate leisure recreational activities, and create scenic amenities. Guidelines: 2.1 Permanent lakes and ponds should be designed to contain a minimum of six feet of water depth. 2.2 Lakes should be provided with mechanical aeration and recirculation systems in order to maintain water quality. 2.3 Lakes should include mechanical systems with overflow devices and a source of fresh water to ensure a near constant water level.
