Activities in Wetlands and Wetland Buffers Sample Clauses

Activities in Wetlands and Wetland Buffers. Wetlands and associated buffers are vegetated ecosystems through which water passes. These areas usually have a high water table and are often subject to periodic flooding. Wetlands can be very effective in removing sediments, nutrients and other pollutants from stormwater. Maintaining wetlands and associated buffers helps to slow stormwater runoff, trap sediments and other pollutants and reduce the volume of runoff by allowing infiltration to occur. Reducing the velocity of runoff reduces soil erosion and increases contact time with soil and vegetation. Increasing contact of stormwater with soils and vegetation in a wetland or riparian area can be effective in removing sediments, nutrients and other pollutants from stormwater runoff. Buffer areas are important to both the wetland and the upland areas as habitat for aquatic wetland- dependent wildlife and as buffers during extreme weather events. Other functions of buffer areas that contribute to water quality include shading, flood attenuation and shoreline stabilization. Persons responsible for maintenance of wetland areas are encouraged to call City of Olympia Community Planning & Development (000)000-0000 prior to performing work in wetlands or their buffers. Required BMPs • Removal by hand of manmade litter and control of noxious weeds that are included on the state noxious weed list (Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 16-750) or invasive plant species as identified by City of Olympia. Control may be conducted by clipping, pulling, over-shading with native tree and shrub species, or non-mechanized digging. Alternative methods such as mechanical excavation, barrier installation, or herbicide use may be allowed, but may require special permits with the City of Olympia. • Check with City of Olympia Community Planning & Development on guidelines for vegetation and hazardous tree removal in critical areas. Suggested BMPs • To prevent possible contamination, limit fertilizer and herbicide use around wetlands and their buffers. • Limit access to wetlands and their buffers. To avoid compaction do not establish trails within the wetland areas.
