<br />001271 <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />Regulatory Element of the Drainage Management Program <br />The advantages of the recommended Technical and Financial elements <br />cannot be realized unless the entire drainage management program is <br />packaged within effective regulation. Regulatory legislation that <br />insures the consistent, equitable, and reasonable application of <br />these program elements must be developed. The legislation must be <br />carefully drafted to minimize legal uncertainties that might subject <br />the regulatory program to interpretative court actions. <br />The nature of the hydrologic problem suggests that the regulatory <br />mechanism be invoked at the time that the land alteration is approved, <br />and that the regulatory legislation be drafted to provide for a <br />watershed management approach. This latter suggestion must be tempered <br />with the prevalent socio-political climate. At the present time, the <br />politically practical approach to drainage management is based on <br />local control without any regional or state intervention. In this <br />situation, the writers feel that the first suggestion is best <br />accomplished by incorporating legislation for drainage management <br />within local subdivision regulations. The division of land marks the <br />beginning of the alteration of the land; the developer should at this <br />stage, be required to internalize the drainage-related costs that his <br />land alteration is creating. <br />The writers also suggest a regulatory mechanism that would be <br />appropriate under a more cooperative local/regional/state organization. <br />The mechanism would provide for stronger regional and state control <br />over land development. This approach would combine statewide exper- <br />tise to the benefit of each local community, and would bring to fruition <br />management of entire watersheds. It does, however, require considerable <br />relinquishment of local control to regional or state governments. <br />
