The Commission is currently seeking an interdisciplinary consulting team to lead a collaborative process to develop best management practices and guidelines to guide the planning, regulation, and management of riparian corridors. The anticipated deliverables include:
- A Project Management Plan that meets the requirements of the funding source. See DWQ Management Plan Template link below
- A Best Practices for Riparian Corridor Conservation and Development document that applies to:
- New development and redevelopment projects – strategies to prevent and reduce the impacts of new development on riparian corridor function.
- Existing developed areas – strategies to mitigate the impacts of existing development types on riparian corridor function
- A checklist-type evaluation tool that the Jordan River Commission, local governments, and project proponents can use to evaluate proposed riparian corridor development projects against the Best Practices.
- Guidelines for local governments developing a Riparian Corridor Protection Ordinance based on the Best Practices.
- An educational campaign to share and promote the Best Practices and the importance of watershed protection.
