FINDING: POTENTIAL CAs
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
The application was reviewed by Jefferson County Permit Center staff on 6/10/99 for the potential presence of critical areas regulated under the provisions of the Ordinance, and the following critical areas were confirmed as potentially present on the subject property: shoreline, seismic hazard, susceptible aquifer recharge area.

FINDING: Aquifer Recharge Area
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Aquifer recharge areas in Jefferson County are characterized by porous geologic formations that allow percolation of the surface water into the soils and the underlying zone of saturation. Aquifers are geologic formations that contain sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs. Aquifers serve as the source of drinking water within most of the rural portions of Jefferson County.

FINDING: Susceptible Aquifer
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Susceptible aquifer recharge areas are those with geologic and hydrologic conditions that promote rapid infiltration of recharge waters to groundwater aquifers. This includes any portion of Jefferson County with a DRASTIC index of greater than or equal to 180 points as determined using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency DRASTIC methodology: Drastic: A Standardized System for Evaluating Ground Water Pollution Using Hydrogeologic Settings (EPA 600/23-87-035).

FINDING: Shoreline setback
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
The standard setback for residential structures, including common appurtenant structures such as garages and workshops, shall be 30 feet, or 1 foot for each foot of bank height, whichever is greater. This setback shall be measured from the bank's edge when the bank height exceeds 10 feet.

F&W1-ASSOC-SHORELINE
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
A minimum setback of 30 feet shall be permanently maintained as a fish and wildlife habitat area buffer associated with the shoreline. This buffer shall be measured perpendicularly from the ordinary high water mark along the shoreline.
|
|
|
Title:
|
| | |
BUFFERS NATURALLY VEGETATED
|
|
Wording
|
| | |
Fish and wildlife habitat area buffers shall remain naturally vegetated. Should buffer disturbance occur during construction, replanting with native vegetation shall be required by the Critical Area Administrator. No alteration shall be made to the fish and wildlife habitat area buffer without prior authorization by the Critical Area Administrator.

DIRECTIONAL FELLING
|
|
Wording
