• Buffer encroachment mitigation ratio1 ratio

  Where practicable, a vegetated area that will maximize water quality protection, mitigate the effects of the buffer encroachment and is equal to the area of encroachment into the buffer area shall be established elsewhere on the lot or parcel

• Buffer encroachment seaward limit50 ft

  The encroachment may not extend into the seaward 50 feet of the buffer area.

• Buffer nutrient reduction40 pct

  The 100-foot buffer area shall be deemed to achieve a 75 percent reduction of sediments and a 40 percent reduction of nutrients.

• Buffer sediment reduction75 pct

  The 100-foot buffer area shall be deemed to achieve a 75 percent reduction of sediments and a 40 percent reduction of nutrients.

• Buffer area width100 ft

  a 100-foot buffer area of vegetation that is effective in retarding runoff, preventing erosion, and filtering nonpoint source pollution from runoff shall be retained if present and established during development where it does not exist.

• Post-development nonpoint source pollution runoff load

  In no case may the post-development nonpoint source pollution runoff load exceed the predevelopment land

• Redevelopment nonpoint source pollution load reduction10 pct

  For redevelopment sites, the nonpoint source pollution load shall be reduced by at least ten percent.

• Wetlands permits required before gradingGrading (cut & fill)Reshaping land by removing earth (cut) or adding it (fill), often capped by volume.

  Prior to initiating grading or other onsite activities on any portion of a lot or parcel, all wetlands permits or other permits required by federal, state, and local laws and regulations shall be obtained and evidence of such submitted to the zoning administrator
