(A) Minimize increases in stormwater runoff from any development in order to reduce flooding, siltation, increases in stream temperature, and stream bank erosion and maintain the integrity of stream channels;
(B) Minimize increases in non-point source pollution caused by stormwater runoff from development which would otherwise degrade local water quality;
(C) Minimize the total annual volume of surface water runoff which flows from any specific site during and following development to not exceed the pre-development hydrologic regime to the practicable extent;
(D) Reduce stormwater runoff rates and volumes, soil erosion and non-point source pollution, wherever possible, through stormwater management controls and to ensure that these management controls are properly maintained and pose no apparent threat to public safety;
(E) Establish minimal acceptable requirements for the design of buffers to protect the streams, wetlands and floodplains of the county; and
(F) Protect the water quality of watercourses, reservoirs, lakes, riparian and aquatic ecosystems, and other significant water resources within this jurisdiction.
