Buffer areas are <br /> necessary and beneficial to maintain the health of wetlands. Buffer areas protect the edge of wetlands from <br /> erosion while filtering sediment, chemicals and other nutrients from runoff that drains into wetlands. Buffer <br /> areas can improve the biological diversity and health of a wetland environment while reducing the adverse <br /> impacts of human activities. <br /> (b) All wetlands within the City of Orono are within the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD),which has <br /> rules and regulations for the establishment and maintenance of wetland buffers. In an effort to avoid <br /> overlapping or conflicting regulations, the city defers jurisdiction for the establishment and maintenance of <br /> wetland buffers to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. If application of MCWD buffer regulations is in <br /> conflict with city regulations,the more restrictive requirements shall apply. <br /> (c) In order to provide for a minimum level of wetland protection where Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> buffer rules do not provide for adequate separation between wetlands and buildings or other structures or <br /> surfaces,the city shall require setbacks from the delineated edge of a protected wetland as follows: <br /> Minimum distance setback from delineated edge of wetland to any <br /> ' building(principal or accessory)or other structure, hardcover,septic <br /> systems or wells: <br /> Where no formal buffer exists and <br /> where MCWD does not require a 35 feet <br /> buffer <br /> Where a formal buffer exists or <br /> 35 feet or established buffer width plus 10 feet,whichever is greater <br /> where MCWD buffer is required <br /> Page 7 <br />
