The plan was compensation for a clearcut situation. The 100 foot conservation <br /> discretionary zone is not the buffer zone. Assistant Agent Leidhold clarified the location of the stakes and <br /> their proximity to sweet pepper. Freshwater wetland plants are located in the area and the Assistant Agent <br /> recommends that should an Order of Conditions be issued, it should specify that the resource areas are not <br /> delineated in this filing.
