c. A landscape element that describes the potential measured for mitigation of the water quality and land impacts within CBPAs, Possible mitiganon measures include: i. Replanting schedule for trees and other significant vegetation removed for construction, in accordance with Section 36-52 of the Code. ii. Demonstration that the design of the plan will preserve to the greatest extent possible any significant trees and vegetation on the site and will provide maximum erosion control and overland flow benefits from such vegetation. iii. Demonstration that indigenous plants are to be used to the greatest extent possible. d. As part of any major water quality impact assessment submittal, the City Engineer may require review by the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department (CBLAD). Upon receipt of a major water quality impact assessmem, the City Engineer will determine if such rewew is warranted and may request CBLAD to review the assessment and respond with written comments. Any comments by CBLAD will be incorporated into the final rewew by the City Engineer, provided that such commems are provided by CBLAD within 90 days of the request. (5) Evaluation Procedure. a. Upon the completed review of a minor water quality impact assessment, the City Engineer will determine if the following criteria have been satisfied: i. The proposed encroachment is necessary due to the inability to place improvements elsewhere on the site to avoid disturbance of the buffer area; ii. Impervious surface is minimized; iii. Proposed best management practices, where required, achieve the mqnisite reductions in pollutant loadings; iv. Proposed mitigation measures, including the revegetation plan and site design, result in minimal disturbance to all components of the RPA, including the 100-foot buffer area; and
