Environmentally Sensitive Areas means wetlands, riparian corridors, landslide prone areas, steep slopes, and fish and wildlife areas that have been so designated by the controlling governmental department or agency.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas means areas as described in the codes of compliance for tenures relating to mining and Chapter 5A (Environmental Protection Regulation 2008) activities, towns and roads.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas means the areas listed in the First Schedule;
Environmentally Sensitive Areas means those areas with especially fragile biophysical characteristics and/or with significant environmental resources as identified by the city or by a scientifically documented inventory accomplished as part of the SEPA/NEPA process or other recognized assessment. Environmentally sensitive areas include, but are not limited to, aquifer recharge areas, wildlife habitat areas, fish breeding, rearing or feeding areas, frequently flooded areas, geologically hazardous areas (e.g., steep, unstable slopes), wetlands (i.e., marshes, bogs, and swamps), streams, tidal lagoons, mud flats, and salt marshes.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas means areas that include, but are not limited to, all Clean Water Act 303(d) impaired water bodies (“303[d] water bodies”); areas designated as an “Area of Special Biological Significance” (ASBS) by the State Water Resources Control Board (1990 Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California [Ocean Plan] and Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (1994) and amendments); water bodies designated as having a RARE beneficial use by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (1994) and amendments), or areas designated as preserves or their equivalent under the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) within the Cities and County of Orange. The limits of Areas of Special Biological Significance are those defined in the 1990 Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters of California (Ocean Plan) and the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (1994 and amendments). Environmentally sensitive area is defined for the purposes of implementing WQMP requirements, and does not replace or supplement other environmental resource-based terms, such as “Environmentally Sensitive Lands,” employed by Permittees in their land development review processes. As appropriate, Permittees should distinguish between environmentally sensitive area and other similar terms in their local WQMP’s.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas means areas, either within or near to a project footprint, that may be identified by an environmental control officer as being sensitive or vulnerable due to its location, susceptibility to degradation, natural state, social sensitivity or any other environmental factors, and that require specific attention in avoiding and mitigating impacts;
