1. Map all existing and potential sources of pollution in the watershed. Implement measures to pinpoint sources of pollution in both the upper and lower watershed.

2. Acquire key parcels of land for habitat protection.

3. Remove Arundo Donax from the entire watershed.

4. Review general land use practices and past practices for each city and for unincorporated areas in the watershed to predict the impacts on public health, natural and aquatic resources, and recreational benefits.

5. Reduce sedimentation and erosion along stream banks, roadways and at construction sites.

6. Implement the coordinated watershed-wide monitoring plan developed by the Monitoring and Modeling sub-committee and develop a centralized database for the monitoring data.

7. Synthesize water quality data to establish minimum standards for native species of locality and identify where gaps in data still exist.

8. Develop/revise monitoring plan to address data gaps.

9. Develop a plan to identify, remove and prevent exotic plant and animal species from impacting the watershed.

10. Help/encourage watershed cities to develop uniform development plans and ordinances which would:
• Set slope minimums for hillside building and construction activities.
• Establish native plant vegetation requirements
• Prevent disturbances to natural drainage channels
• Retain runoff on-site to the maximum extent practicable (including use of pervious surfaces)
• Prevent sediment loadings to creeks/streams both during and after construction
• Review development planning on a watershed basis, rather than a project-by-project basis
• Set standards for streets, sidewalks, driveways and parking lots
• Establish 200-ft buffer-zone standards near sensitive habitats
• Ensure adequate monitoring and/or enforcement activities so that these requirements are met
