Worksheet 2. Sensitive Natural Resources<br />

INSTRUCTIONS:<br />

1. Provide Sensitive Resources Map <strong>for</strong> the site. This map should identify waterbodies,<br />

floodplains, riparian areas, wetlands, woodlands, natural drainage ways, steep slopes,<br />

and other sensitive natural features.<br />

2. Summarize the existing extent of each sensitive resource in the Existing Sensitive<br />

Resources Table (below, using Acres).<br />

3. Summarize total proposed Protected/Undisturbed Area. Use the following BMPs to<br />

define Protected/Undisturbed Area; protect sensitive areas, protect riparian buffers,<br />

protect natural flow pathways, cluster development, and minimize disturbed area.<br />

4. Do not count any area twice. For example, an area that is both a floodplain and a<br />

wetland may only be considered once (include as either floodplain or wetland, not both).<br />
