The size of a perennial stream or Class 1 waterbody buffer shall be <br />measured from the annual average stream bank, perpendicularly for a <br />distance of 50 feet plus 4 times the average percent of slope of area <br />adjacent to the stream. This slope shall be calculated by measuring a <br />distance of 250 feet from the center of the stream. The percent of <br />slope for this distance shall serve as the determining factor. However, <br />the maximum distance shall not exceed 120 feet from the edge of the <br />stream. For Lakes, ponds or impoundments, the buffer shall be <br />computed using the high water elevation in place of the stream bank <br />in the calculation. <br />Chapter 4 Page 5 of 34 <br />G -1 <br />Revised achment number 3 <br />Page 321 <br />
