A comprehensive watershed plan should include:
- Stormwater retrofits of current development
- Strict stormwater standards for new development
- Watershed land acquisition
- Strict limitations on conversion of forest land to other uses, and sustainable forestry guidelines for those areas where forestry is practiced
- Density reductions (rezoning and tax incentives)
- Transfer of Development Rights (TDR's)
- Formation of a single administrative entity to oversee all watershed management functions
