to Wisconsin's water resources via stormwater runoff.

Part of the requirements of WPDES is the replacement of traditional curb and gutter that is typical with street construction to be replaced with shallow grass swales and retention ponds. The concept of this plan is to slowly release the stormwater back into the wetlands through the natural soil filtration. Traditional curb and gutter generally takes all the water collected and dumps it into the rivers without natural or synthetic filtration.

In a recent City council meeting that was held in a small city in northern Wisconsin, a developer was trying to present a plan. This development plan included approximately 16.4 acres of wetland. He was trying to sell the development to the City Council with the consideration of recent changes of the Department of Natural Resource's stormwater requirements.

Some of the concerns of the City Council about this type of development were children and the swales, mosquitoes, flooding in basements, sidewalk construction and off-street parking.
