Category IV wetlands that score three or four points for habitat shall have a minimum buffer <br /> width of thirty five fee+ <br /> width of forty four feet.a. For wetlands that score moderate or high for habitat(five points or <br /> more for the habitat functions),the following criteria must be met: <br /> When feasible, a relatively undisturbed vegetated corridor at least one hundred feet wide must be <br /> protected between the wetland and any nearby priority habitat. Presence or absence of a nearby <br /> habitat must be confirmed by a qualified biologist. If there is a presence of a nearby priority <br /> habitat and if the wetland has a habitat function score of six or more,a 100-foot wide relatively <br /> undisturbed,vegetated corridor must be provided between the wetland and other priority <br /> habitats if there is a corridor available to provide. If a corridor is available and is not set aside <br /> into an easement or tract,the buffers listed in table 37.2 apply.-other priority habitats as <br /> - - - - .S . .. . . . . - . . - , - - <br /> {A) Wetlands; <br /> {B) Riparian zones; <br /> (C) Marine/estuarine shorelines; <br /> (D) Urban natural open space. <br /> The corridor must be protected for the entire distance between the wetland and the priority habitat <br /> by some type of legal protection such as a conservation easement. <br /> ii. Measures to minimize the impacts of different land uses on wetlands, such as the examples <br /> summarized in Table 37.1,are applied. <br /> b. For wetlands that score less than three or four points for habitat, measures to minimize the <br /> impacts of different land uses on wetlands, such as the examples summarized in Table 37.1, must <br /> be applied. <br /> User instructions: Use the following two tables to determine wetland buffers. Table 37.2 includes the standard <br /> buffers without utilizing the general mitigation measures described below. The reduced buffers in Table 37.3 apply <br /> to projects when the applicant elects to incorporate all general mitigation measures. if priority habitat is not <br /> present, use Table 37.3. <br /> EMC Title 19.37 (Critical Areas) Page 29 <br />
