H 2.1 Buffers (seep. 80) Choose the description that best represents condition of buffer of wetland. The highest scoring criterion that applies to the wetland is to be used in the rating.See text for definition of"undisturbed." El 100 m(330ft)of relatively undisturbed vegetated areas,rocky areas,or open water >95%of circumference. No developed areas within undisturbed part of buffer. (relatively undisturbed also means no-grazing) Points=5 ❑ 100 m(330 ft)of relatively undisturbed vegetated areas,rocky areas,or open water >50% circumference Points=4 ❑ 50 m(170ft)of relatively undisturbed vegetated areas,rocky areas,or open water>95%circumference Points=4 ❑ 100 m(330ft)of relatively undisturbed vegetated areas,rocky areas,or open water>25%circumference Points=3 1 ❑ 50 m(170ft)of relatively undisturbed vegetated areas,rocky areas,or open water for>50%circumference.
