2004 water quality ordinanceSubmitted by R. Neal on Wed, 02/20/2008 - 13:46.
As noted by Commissioner Walker below, the ordinance submitted to County Commission in 2004 has the following: Section 9. General criteria, sub-section S: Do I recall correctly that the new ordinance will have only a 5 foot buffer (reduced from 60 in the initial draft)? If so, is the County going backwards in terms of water quality regulations? |

The state law still supersedes county law and state stipulates 60 and 35 depending on the quality of the stream.
What passed in 2005 stipulated 25 feet perpetual/permanent non-disturbed barrier.

I wish I was smart enough to figure that out. But I'm not.
If the current reg was extended from 25ft to 35ft, would it meet state requirements?
Whatever happened to the Universally accepted 100 foot buffer of the 1970s??
Trees and shrubs from the bank berm landward for 50ft and shrubs and grasses for the next 50ft
Less than a 65' mixed vegetaton buffer on slopes greater than +1% dosen't do much.
And someone mentioned a 5 foot buffer?? How does that work??
