                              managing artificial waterways, and
                              A10.2
                              Monitoring and maintenance programs adaptively
                              manage water quality in any non-tidal artificial waterway
                              to achieve relevant water-quality objectives downstream
                              of the waterway, and
                              A10.3
                              Aquatic weeds are managed in any non-tidal artificial
                              waterway to achieve a low percentage of coverage of the
                              water surface area (less than 10%). Pests and vectors
                              (such as mosquitoes) are managed through avoiding
                              stagnant water areas, providing for native fish predators,
                              and any other best practices for monitoring and treating
                              pests, and
                              A10.4
                              Any non-tidal artificial waterway is managed and
                              operated by a responsible entity under agreement for the
                              life of the waterway. The responsible entity is to
                              implement a deed of agreement for the management
                              and operation of the waterway that:
                              a. identifies the waterway, and
                              b. states a period of responsibility for the entity, and
                              c. states a process for any transfer of responsibility for
                              the waterway, and
                              d. states required actions under the agreement for
                              monitoring the water quality of the waterway and
                              receiving waters, and
                              e. states required actions under the agreement for
                              maintaining the waterway to achieve the outcomes of
                              this code and any relevant conditions of a development
