For ponds, lakes and <br /> reservoirs,Zone 1 shall <br /> begin at the most <br /> landward limit of the <br /> normal water level and <br /> extend landward as <br /> indicated in Table 1, <br /> measured horizontally on <br /> a line perpendicular to a <br /> vertical line marking the <br /> edge of the surface water. <br /> (2) Zone 2 shall consist of an <br /> undisturbed area except as provided for <br /> in Section 15-270.5. The functions of <br /> this zone are to: protect the streamside <br /> zone, to filter runoff from upland <br /> development, and deliver runoff to Zone <br /> 1 in a dispersed fashion. Grading and <br /> revegetating Zone 2 is allowed provided <br /> that the health of the vegetation in Zone <br /> 1 is not compromised. Zone 2 shall <br /> begin at the outer edge of Zone 1 and <br /> extend landward as indicated in Table 1 <br /> as measured horizontally on a line <br /> perpendicular to the surface water. The <br /> desired vegetation for this zone is <br /> mature native vegetation; forest cover is <br /> encouraged. <br /> (3) The total buffer width shall be <br /> the sum of the widths of the two zones, <br /> as indicated in Table 1, and shall extend <br /> 101 <br />
