The Boulder water body protection policy requires a review of permit applications for activities affecting streams, wetlands, and other water bodies. The application is evaluated based on criteria aimed at minimizing and mitigating impacts on hydrology, vegetation, and habitat. The review process ensures best management practices and safeguards species and buffer zones. Additional requirements apply to activities in designated areas, including outer and inner buffers or directly within the water body.
