1a(2). VEGETATION MANAGEMENT OF MARSH AND/OR RIPARIAN BUFFER AREA
If a marsh is present, enhance its condition by periodically removing excessive tidal debris and solid waste, repairing storm damaged areas, or adding new wetland vegetation. If there is significant erosion of the marsh at its channelward edge, consider placement of a fiber log or sill at the toe of the marsh for erosion protection. Enhance the existing riparian buffer condition by adding new trees, shrubs and ground covers; replace lawn with ornamental grasses, native shrubs and small trees.

In an area with low bank erosion and no forested shoreline, the lawn should be minimized and shrubs planted to reduce erosion. |
