Article 5: Wetlands Conservation District Ordinance Changes

What it means: Article 5 will improve the Wetlands Conservation District (WCD) Ordinance by enhancing readability and addressing unclear or unnecessary language, along with other changes.

Substantive Changes:

  • Define “Temporary Impacts” and “Permanent Impacts”.
  • Outline the conditions under which temporary impacts may be allowed.
  • Identify where the application of mulch is prohibited.
  • Provide for the use of select fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides in the WCD, under certain conditions, for restoration or vegetation management.
  • Establish a 6-year permit life for seawall repairs, if the first repair is completed within 2 years, and allowing in-kind repairs and maintenance to be performed for the life of the permit if the Conservation Coordinator is notified in advance.

The changes incorporated in Article 5 are highlighted at this link.
