UI'i- 1 City of Lakewood, Ohio Integrated Wet Weather Improvement Plan I Phase 2 4. Consistent with the Clean Water Act and Integrated Planning, Adaptive Management of this IWWIP must be maintained. Adaptive management is necessary to leverage land use changes, market opportunities, new technologies, changing affordability and access to non -local sources of infrastructure funding. In each five -year period, Lakewood will prepare an IWWIP update. As part of the update and at other times, Lakewood will receive and consider public input, consistent with the Integrat- ed Planning Framework. 5. All actions under the IWWIP must remain affordable and equitable. The IWWIP must remain affordable for Lakewood's sensitive populations, especially the lowest quintiles. The IWWIP must remain predictable to protect affordability and sustain private investment. New rate structures and any systematic renewal of private infrastructure must be equitable. With these priorities and principles guiding implementation, Lakewood's IWWIP and schedule are set forth below for the next five -year period, corresponding to the schedule for Lakewood's NPDES renewal schedule for 2019 -2023. The projected five -year schedule for 2024 -2028 is also listed. All remaining IWWIP large capital measures to be implemented after 2028 are prioritized. ONGOING IWWIP MEASURES The following IWWIP measures are applicable in all five -year periods: 1. Lakewood will continue its ongoing investment to renew existing infrastructure, at its WWTP and throughout the system, in an integrated and planned approach. 2. Lakewood will maximize land use opportunities and code enforcement for continued wet weather improvement and green infrastructure development, consistent with the Community Vision. 3. Lakewood will continue its ongoing investigation and iterative modeling and monitoring to optimize system performance, prioritize capital investments and minimize risks of basement backups. 4. Lakewood will perform periodic affordability analyses, no less than in every five -year peri- od, to protect ratepayer affordability, especially the lowest quintiles of the population, in or- der to keep the program sustainable. 5. Lakewood will perform Adaptive Management review of this IWWIP no less than every five -year period in preparation for any five -year IWWIP update.
