1 Riparian Buffer Requirements Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Watershed Management

2 102.2 Scope and Purpose BMPs to protect, maintain, and restore water quality and existing designated and uses of waters of the Commonwealth.

3 Purpose of Chapter Protect and maintain water quality. 2. Restore water quality where needed 3. Minimize erosion & sedimentation. 4. Manage post construction stormwater.

4 Overview Riparian Buffer Requirements BMP of choice. Definition and requirements for Riparian Buffers. Definition and requirements for RFB. How to manage Riparian Forest Buffers. Requirements for all Riparian Buffers. Exceptions/Waivers. Permanent Protection.

5 Functions and Benefits of Riparian Forest Buffers (RFBs) Protect and Enhance of Water Quality Protection and Enhancement of Aquatic Habitat Provides Channel and Shoreline Stability Volume control

6 Protection and Enhancement of Water Quality by RFBs Filtration of Pollutants in Runoff Temperature Moderation Pollutant Processing

7 Recent Studies on Buffer Benefits 71 % nitrate removal by buffers feet wide (Mayer et al. 2007) > 50% phosphorus removal by buffers (Dorioz et al. 2006) 92% sediment removal (Peterjohn and Correll 1984)

8 Weekly Maximum Temperature for Farm and Forest Streams pdf

9 Protect and Enhance Water Quality Infiltration control Controlled release rate Channel and shoreline stability

10 Pollutant Processing Leaves of native trees in RFB wash into stream and feed Macroinvertebrates/ bugs that process pollutants.

11 Protection and Enhancement of Water Quality Decrease in: Erosion Sedimentation

12 Volume Control (americanforests.org)

13 (a) (1) General Requirements Riparian Buffer Project site located in Special Protection (EV or HQ) watershed That is meeting designated use at the time of application: No earth disturbance within 150 of perennial or intermittent river, stream, creek, lake, pond or reservoir. Protect any existing riparian buffer.

14 102.1 Definitions - Riparian Forest Buffer One type of riparian buffer Permanent vegetation that is mostly native trees and shrubs along surface waters Maintained in natural state or sustainably managed

15 (a) (2) General Requirements RFB Project sites along Special Protection waters failing to meet designated use (Category 4 or 5 of Integrated Water Quality Report) at time of application: Protect any existing RFB. Convert any existing Riparian Buffer to a Forest Buffer. Plant a new RFB if none exist.

16 102.14(b)(1)Riparian Forest Buffer Criteria - Composition Native trees, shrubs and grasses. After 5 years canopy cover. Noxious weeds and invasive plants.

Includes the following at a minimum: (i) Planting plan for converted or new RFBs only. (ii) Maintenance Schedule for converted or newly RFBs only. (iii) Inspection Schedule for all RFBs.

23 102.14(b)(4)(i) Riparian Forest Buffer Management Plan (i) Planting plan for converted or newly established RFB includes: Number of native trees and shrubs. Density of native trees and shrubs. Variety of native trees and shrubs appropriate to location. 60% uniform canopy cover.

24 102.14(b)(4)(ii) Riparian Forest Buffer Management Plan (ii) Maintenance Schedule for converted or newly established RFB includes: Measures to ensure survival. Protection from invasive plants and noxious weeds. Protection from animals. Five year establishment period.

25 102.14(b)(4)(iii) Riparian Forest Buffer Management Plan (iii) Inspection Schedule for all RFBs to include: Frequency of inspection. Measures to ensure long term maintenance and functioning of RFB. Measures to repair damage from storm events greater than 2year/24 hour storm.

26 (c) (1) Mandatory Requirements - All Riparian Buffers 1. Stormwater enters the buffer as sheet or shallow flow during storm events up to a 2 year/24 hour storm.

27 (c) (2) Mandatory Requirements - All Riparian Buffers Protect wetlands in buffer - consistent with Chapter 105.

28 (c) (3) Mandatory Requirements - All Riparian Buffers 3. Measurements 10% variation below the minimum width. Full length of surface water in project site Measure from the normal pool elevation for lake, pond or reservoir and from top of streambank for creeks, streams, rivers.

29 (c)(3) Mandatory Requirements - All Riparian Buffers: Measurement

30

31 102.14(d) (1) No Mandatory Riparian Buffer (i) Project site more than 150 feet from the water. (ii) Site is less than 1 acre disturbance. (iii) No permit required under chapter 102.
