The purpose of this Subpart is to protect and safeguard the general health, safety, and welfare of the public residing in or visiting the park by preserving and protecting the quality of the ground and surface waters of the park. This Subpart has the following objectives: prevent any increase in stormwater runoff from any development in order to reduce flooding, siltation and streambank erosion; prevent any increase in pollution caused by stormwater runoff from development which would otherwise degrade the quality of water in Lake George and its tributaries and render it unfit for human consumption, interfere with water based recreation or adversely affect aquatic life; and ensure that the total annual volume of surface water runoff which flows from any specific site during and following development shall not exceed that which prevailed prior to development.
