Common use of Deflation Plain/Associated Wetlands Clause in Contracts

Deflation Plain/Associated Wetlands. Associated wetlands located in the deflation plain between the foredune and older sand ridge to the east run north-south. Development that occurs in the city’s jurisdictional shoreline may be located in the associated wetlands, as east-west access is sought across the wetlands to gain access to a dry western building site. Any unmitigated wetland or buffer impairment offers an opportunity for restoration or mitigation. The occurrence of both native and non-native invasive plant species in the dune complex provides opportunities for restoration or management. This could include extirpation of noxious vegetation as well as beach pine forest management.
