Riparian Corridor. The bed and banks of the Waterway and areas within thirty-five feet of the top of the banks of the Waterway (collectively, the “Riparian Corridor”). If a width greater or lesser than this is set forth on the Easement Plan for all or any portion of the Riparian Corridor, the greater or lesser width will apply for that portion. If the location or shape of the Waterway changes, the Riparian Corridor will likewise change location or shape in accordance with the description set forth above. In any event, the Riparian Corridor is limited to the Property.
Riparian Corridor. The Developer will install erosion control and temporary fencing at the 30’ creek buffer to protect the existing riparian area. Upon completion of public improvements within the buffer the Contractor will return the area to a naturally vegetated state. The PUD HOA will take on responsibility of maintenance associated with the crossing at Ice House Avenue. The Developer will secure all permits necessary for disturbances within the buffer and will contribute to an offsite wetland bank if required.
Riparian Corridor. At a minimum, the Easement Area will consist of the Riparian Corridor described in subsection (a). If a Riparian Corridor of a set width is the only Easement Area, then there is no need to attach an Easement Plan and references to the Easement Plan can be deleted throughout the Agreement. In the alternative (and to save editing of the document), a simple drawing showing the distance from the top of the bank of the Waterway can be attached as the “Easement Plan”. • This description creates a Riparian Corridor that moves with the Waterway if the Waterway should meander. This supports a key purpose of the Agreement – to protect the aquatic habitat – wherever the Waterway may be at any particular time. • A stream may meander off the Owners’ property. In that case, the Holder would not be able to require compliance with the Agreement as applied to areas outside the Property. • The width of the Riparian Corridor should be as wide as is acceptable to the Owner who enters into the Agreement. A width of thirty-five (35) feet is furnished in the model but may be changed to reflect the width agreed upon by the Owners. The 35-foot minimum is consistent with the minimum width for riparian forest buffer required under the Conservation Reserve Program originally authorized under the Food Security Act of 1985 and regulations promulgated under that act set forth in Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 1410 (“CRP”) and the Conservation Resource Enhancement Program, 16 U.S.C.S. §3831 et seq. (“CREP”).

L. 390, No. 29) (32 P.S. §§5051-5059) set forth below. Otherwise, a metes and bounds description is required if the Riparian Corridor is less than the entirety of the Property. [A] conservation easement may encompass an entire fee simple interest in a parcel of real property as described in the deed to the property, or any portion thereof or estate therein. Except when referencing an easement’s boundary using setback descriptions from existing deed boundaries or natural or artificial features, such as streams, rivers or railr...
