INTERIM WATER AND RELATED
LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
The staff outlined the proposals contained in the Interim Water and
Related Land Management Plan.
There were a number of comments and questions from the Board con-
cerning the Plan, including the observation that the Plan will be
more complete when the relationship between upstream development and
downstream flooding and erosion is more fully understood, as a result
of the hydrologic studies which are currently in progress. It was
felt that a clear understanding of this relationship, and land use
policies to alleviate the problem, should form an important part of
the Plan.

Moved by: M.W.H. Biggar

Management Plan be adopted, to be elaborated upon when the necessary
hydrologic information for further flood control policies is
available.
