A voluntary 15-foot low maintenance zone is strongly recommended, but not mandated,
from any surface waters, pond, stream, watercourse, lake, wetland or from the top
of a seawall. A swale/berm system is recommended for installation at the landward
edge of this low maintenance zone to capture and filter runoff. No mowed or cut vegetative
material should be deposited or left remaining in this zone or deposited in the water.
Care should be taken to prevent the over-spray of aquatic weed products in this zone.
