In a rapidly urbanizing
county like Summit, the streams and surface waters often receive the full impact of
development.
Problems associated with land development include increased storm water volume
and velocity due to expanding impervious surfaces. Poor water quality as
well as stream bank erosion and the coincident property loss are also
issues that are linked to development. |
