(a) Inner buffer. An inner buffer around lakes and ponds shall not be required.
(b) Lake and pond outer buffer delineation. A fifty-foot outer buffer, measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the edge of any water body, shall be maintained around any water body.
(c) Permitted activities/development. Stormwater conveyance required by the Borough, buffer maintenance and restoration, the correction of hazardous conditions, lakefront views, boat docks and unpaved trails shall be permitted, provided no buildings are involved. The area of the buffer impacted by permitted activities shall not exceed 35% of the buffer on the subject parcel.

(a) Stream buffer delineation. A fifty-foot inner buffer and one-hundred-foot outer buffer, measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the top-of-bank on both sides of any stream for a total distance of 150 feet, shall be maintained on both sides of any stream. (See figure below.)

[1] Inner buffer. Measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the top-of-bank of the stream for a distance of 50 feet.

[a] Stormwater conveyance required by the Borough, buffer maintenance and restoration, the correction of hazardous conditions, stream crossings permitted by DEP, fish hatcheries, wildlife sanctuaries and boat launch sites constructed so as not to alter the floodplain cross section, and unpaved trails shall be permitted, providing no buildings are involved.
[b] No other earth disturbance, grading, filling, buildings, structures, new construction, or development shall be permitted.

[2] Outer buffer. Measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the outer edge of the inner buffer for a distance of 100 feet, resulting in a total buffer of 150 feet.

[a] Stormwater conveyance required by the Borough, buffer maintenance and restoration, the correction of hazardous conditions, agricultural activities, plant nurseries, parking lots constructed to existing grade, temporary fairs and carnivals, accessory uses for residential purposes, private sportsmen's club activities, athletic facilities, orchards, wildlife sanctuaries, boat launch sites, stream crossings permitted by DEP and unpaved trails shall be permitted, provided no buildings are involved.
[b] In areas of the outer buffer which are not wetlands, vernal ponds or slopes of more than 15%, stormwater management facilities which improve the water quality of stormwater discharge shall be permitted unless prohibited by other Borough or state requirements.
[c] No other earth disturbance, grading, filling, buildings, structures, new construction, or development shall be permitted, except as provided for in § 215-38B(3) and B(4).
[d] Limited forestry activities that do not clear cut the buffer (e.g. selective regeneration harvest) in accord with a forestry management plan shall be permitted, provided no buildings are involved.

(a) Wetland identification. Wetlands shall be identified in accord with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Manual for Identifying and Delineating Wetlands, and properly flagged and surveyed on site to ensure they are protected.
(b) Wetland and vernal pond buffer delineation. A fifty-foot inner buffer and one-hundred-foot outer buffer, measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the edge of the delineated wetland or vernal pond for a total distance of 150 feet, shall be maintained for all wetlands and vernal ponds.

[1] Inner buffer. Measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the edge of the delineated wetland or vernal pond for a distance of 50 feet.

[a] Stormwater conveyance required by the Borough, buffer maintenance and restoration, the correction of hazardous conditions, stream crossings permitted by DEP and unpaved trails shall be permitted.
[b] No other earth disturbance, grading, filling, buildings, structures, new construction, or development shall be permitted.

[2] Outer buffer. Measured perpendicular to and horizontally from the outer edge of the inner buffer for a distance of 100 feet resulting in a total buffer of 150 feet.

[a] Stormwater conveyance required by the Borough, buffer maintenance and restoration, the correction of hazardous conditions, stream crossings permitted by DEP, unpaved trails, and limited forestry activities that do not clear cut the buffer (e.g., selective regeneration harvest) in accord with a forestry management plan shall be permitted, provided no buildings are involved, and those activities permitted under Subsection B(3) and (4).
[b] The area of the buffer impacted shall not exceed 20% of the outer buffer. for complete information.
