An average 80 percent aerial cover of native vegetation, composed of trees, <br />shrubs, and ground cover with at least 20 percent tree cover and 20 percent <br />shrub cover, with no more than 10 percent cover of invasive species <br />c. Vegetative Buffer Alternative. Applicants can choose not to comply with the <br />vegetative buffer standards by complying with the following requirements: <br />i.

The reduced buffers in Table 37.3 apply to projects when <br />the applicant elects to incorporate impact minimization measures in Table 37.4 and a habitat <br />corridor. <br />Table 37.2: Standard Wetland Buffer Width Requirements for Applicants not Providing a Habitat <br />Corridor or Implementing Impact Minimization Measures <br /> <br />WETLAND <br />CATEGORY WETLAND TYPE <br />HABITAT FUNCTION SCORES <br />3-5 6-7 8-9 <br />BUFFER WIDTHS (in feet) <br />I <br />All including <br />forested except <br />those listed <br />below <br />100 150 300 <br />Bogs 250 300 <br />Estuarine 200 <br />II <br />All except <br />estuarine 100 150 300 <br />Estuarine 150 <br />III 80 150 300 <br />IV 50
