| Abstract: Some river and lake riparian buffers are currently protected under existing local ordinances or by conservation lands and easements. The state Comprehensive Shoreline Protection Act protects public waters including “great ponds” (waterbodies greater than 10 acres) and rivers with a stream-order of four or greater. This analysis identifies and measures where protections occur and where they are absent along river and lake shoreline frontage. The analysis categorizes all of the state’s rivers or lakes into six levels of protection as defined in the Entity_and_Attribute_Information section below, where tier 1 is the highest level of protection. | |
