For new development, all wetlands on the property shall be subject to the buffer <br /> requirements. For redevelopment or other grading or construction situations that are not <br /> new development, only the wetland that is potentially adversely impacted shall be subject <br /> to the buffer requirement. In the event that the wetland is on an adjacent property but near <br /> enough to the subject property so that buffers to said wetland would extend into the <br /> subj ect property,the buffer requirements apply. <br /> DIVISION 2. <br /> DESIGNATION OF PROTECTED WETLANDS <br /> Sec. 78-1602 Wetland Types <br /> The wetlands protected and regulated by this Section are types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, <br /> and 8 wetlands, as defined in circular 39, "Wetlands of the United States", 1971 edition, <br /> United States Department of the Interior, unless the wetland is within a shoreland district <br /> in which case the more restrictive rules regarding setbacks would apply. Protected <br /> wetlands are further defined as follows: <br /> (1) Type 1 Seasonally Flooded Basins or Floodplains: Type 1 wetlands are <br /> seasonally flooded basins or flats in which soil is covered with water or is <br /> waterlogged during variable seasonal periods but usually is well-drained <br /> during much of the growing season. Type 1 wetlands are located in <br /> depressions and in overflow bottom lands along water courses. Vegetation <br /> varies greatly according to the season and duration of the flooding, and <br /> includes bottom land hardwoods, as well as herbaceous plants. <br /> (2) Type 2 Inland Fresh Meadow: Occurs along the shallow edges of lakes, <br /> marshes and floodplains, or in perched depressions. The soil is usually <br /> without standing water during much of the growing season, but is <br /> waterlogged within at least a few inches of the surface. Vegetation <br /> includes grasses, sedges, rushes and various herbaceous plants. <br /> (3) Type 3 Inland Shallow Fresh Marsh: Soil is usually water logged during <br /> the growing season, often covered with as much as six inches or more of <br /> water. Vegetation includes grasses, bulrushes, cattails, arrowheads, <br /> smartweeds and other emergent aquatic vegetation. <br /> (4) Type 4 Inland Deep Fresh Marsh: Soil covered with six inches to three <br /> feet or more of water during growing season. Vegetation includes cattails, <br /> reeds, bulrushes and wild rice. Open water areas may contain pondweeds, <br /> naiads, coonta.il,water milfoils and other submergent aquatic vegetation. <br /> Page 3 of 22 <br />
