Riverton Creek, which is classified as a Type 2 watercourse, crosses the subject property to

• Removal of invasive species, with particular attention to the knotweed
• Removal of all debris placed in the stream/buffer — this does not include trees that have
naturally fallen; those should remain in place
•

removed/damaged due to grading and debris
