Buffer Width The width of the buffer area can be very subjective depending upon the use of the site Forested buffers and areas of limited use should be a minimum of 35 feet wide measured from the top of the bank or shoreline On areas that have been routinely mowed for aesthetic reasons a minimum five-foot strip of denser vegetation should be established from the water’s edge

guidelines for determining riparian buffer width extent and vegetation that are applicable to much of Georgia and beyond Naturally these recom-mendations will not be as accurate as those supplied by data-intensive models applied on a site-by-site basis such as the REMM model I, Background and Introduction developed by Richard Lowrance and colleagues,
Quantitative review of riparian buffer width guidelines
Where an existing forested riparian area is located along a river stream pond lake or other waterbody increase the width of the buffer in order to allow a greater percentage of sediment and nutrient removal from surface and subsurface flows Criteria • Existing buffer width shall be at least 35 feet …

2 Current research indicates that riparian buffers of various vegetation types are effective at reducing nitrogen levels in groundwater and streams 3 Buffer width is only one factor controlling nitrogen removal effectiveness, 4 Subsurface removal of nitrogen in riparian buffers is often high, especially where conditions promote

Wooded riparian areas are however more widely advocated as an effective way to provide water protection Buffer strips are being widely supported as agri-environmental measures in European rural development programs A typical value for buffer strips’ width is around 5 m Wider buffer strips which provide additional protection but used to

This paper reviewed the provincial territorial and state guidelines for the retention of treed riparian buffers after timber harvest in Canada and the United States Comparisons amongst jurisdictions were facilitated through the use of a standardized template for the classification of waterbodies Mean buffer widths varied from 15,1 to 29,0 m for different waterbody types when both countries were combined However Canadian jurisdictions had wider buffers …
Quantitative review of riparian buffer width guidelines
· This study indicates that land use in wider riparian buffers does not have significantly larger effects on water quality than narrower buffers and that the most efficient riparian forest buffer width to maintain water quality while maximizing agricultural land is 15 m, The findings suggest that the length of riparian forest buffers is important to maintain water quality because riparian land use has a strong effect on water quality …

· While some narrow buffers 1-15 m removed significant proportions of nitrogen narrow buffers actually contributed to nitrogen loads in riparian zones in some cases Wider buffers >50 m more consistently removed significant portions of nitrogen entering a riparian zone Buffers of various vegetation types were equally effective at removing nitrogen in the subsurface but not in surface flow The general lack of vegetation type or buffer width …
