The <br />corridor must be protected for the entire distance between the wetland and the Priority Habitat by some <br />type of legal protection such as a conservation easement. Presence or absence of a nearby habitat must <br />be confirmed by a qualified biologist. If no option for providing a corridor is available, Table 18.45.080-1 <br />may be used with the required measures in Table 18.45.080-2 alone. <br />MLegislative Development\Critical Areas update 2-25-20 <br />MD:bjs Review and analysis by Barbara Saxton Page 19 of 87 <br />
