8 Riparian Buffers Provide Water Quality Benefits at Low Cost Remove Sediments Prevent erosion
9 Riparian Buffers Provide Water Quality Benefits at Low Cost Filter Pollutants 50% of nutrients & pesticides 60% of pathogens 75% of sediment
10 Other Benefits of Riparian Buffers Greenways Recharge groundwater Flood storage Aesthetics Recreation Wildlife habitat
11 Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund Who s eligible: government & non-govt. entities & persons Purpose: water quality improvement/protection Goal: re-establishment of native species or other improvement projects that will establish or restore riparian habitats, or enhance the overall quality of riparian buffers
