Table 37.1: Mitigation Measures 3. All projects must include and integrate mitigation of land use impacts into the proposed project. Required mitigation measures shall be based upon the site-specific analysis required by this section. An analysis of potential impacts and recommended mitigation measures must be included in the wetland study required by this chapter. Additionally, at a minimum the analysis shall address the potential land use impacts identified in Table 37.1. Mitigation of land use impacts must include, but not be limited to, reasonable mitigation of impacts identified in Table 37.1. In addition, for wetlands that score twenty or more points for habitat, the study shall include an analysis of existing habitat connections to priority habitats and include measures necessary to maintain those connections as required by subsection A.2 of this section. is hereby amended to read as follows: Standard wetland buffer width requirements. A. Standard Buffer Width. Bogs shall have a minimum buffer width of one hundred ninety feet. The following minimum buffers of native vegetation shall apply to all other wetlands based upon the wetland category and score for habitat functions from the Wetland Rating Form— Western Washington. Buffers shall be measured from the wetland boundary delineated as required by Section 37.090.A of this chapter. a. Category I, II and III wetlands scoring three points for habitat function shall have the following buffers: Activities and Uses Category Examples of That Cause III Disturbance Disturbance Examples of Measures to Minimize Impacts are present at the site. 3.
