protection include ground water recharge, surface water
discharge (flood protection and water quality treatment) ,
climate moderation (temperature, and rainfall) , importance to
wildlife (feeding and nesting for wading birds, and habitat
and corridor for bears and panthers) . The goals would be to
maintain current native wetlands and uplands, allow continued
compatible land uses such as hunting and farming. David Land
submitted fact sheets by fax that included population
projections, build-out projections, and acreage of future
