Does the Commission have a local wetlands ordinance?
No the Commission does not have a local ordinance, however, the Commission does have a 20 foot wetland setback policy which prohibits any work within 20 feet of the wetland. Since wetlands are important to a healthy environment, the 20-foot buffer zone provides added protection to this sensitive resource area.
