	Sewer Service Area Delineation and Planning Process - WDNR
		NR 150 requires an environmental assessment for sewers with a diameter of 18" or greater, unless their location is established as part of the approved sewer service area plan.
		Consideration should be for protection of the wetland when the area is or has been known to be a habitat for state or federally designated rare, threatened or endangered species; or where it is determined that the wetland type is scarce or rare either statewide or regionally.
		WDNR prefers the term environmentally sensitive areas rather than the term environmental corridors, principally due to the current inconsistent use of the term environmental corridors throughout the state.

	Naturenet: Environmentally Sensitive Areas
		ESAs were introduced under Section 18 of the 1986 Agriculture Act to help safeguard areas where the landscape, wildlife or historic interest is of national importance; and because it was recognised that agriculture can have a major influence on the conservation and enhancement of the landscape, wildlife and historical features.
		For example, the Essex Coast ESA is one of six new ESAs which together with the existing areas form part of DEFRA's programme of environmental measures under the European Agri Environment Regulation.
		Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) are particular parts of the countryside where the landscape, wildlife and historic interest are of national importance.

	New Jersey Department of Community Affairs: Office of Smart Growth
		Existing Centers within the Environmentally Sensitive Planning Area have been, and often remain, the focus of residential and commercial growth and public facilities and services for their region, as well as supporting the recreation and tourism industries.
		The ecological systems of the Environmentally Sensitive Planning Area should be protected by carefully linking the location, character and magnitude of development to the capacity of the natural and built environment to support new growth and development on a long-term, sustainable resource basis.
		And so for other environmentally sensitive areas of the state, each political unit must determine how they want to relate to natural systems that reach far beyond their boundaries as well as how to protect specific features within their developed areas.

	City of Lacey, Washington Municipal Code Title 16, Chapter 16.54
		Some areas are critical because of the hazard they present to public health and safety, some because of the values they represent to the public welfare.
		The approximate locations and type of most environmentally sensitive/critical areas are designated on the official zoning map of the city of Lacey and environmental maps referenced or contained within the city Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation Plan.
		However, environmentally sensitive/critical areas not shown on maps are presumed to exist in the city of Lacey and the Lacey urban growth area and are protected under all the provisions of this chapter.

		The administration staff may make exceptions the sensitive area BMPs on a case by case basis as long as the exception is deemed necessary and efforts are taken to minimize potential negative effects that might be caused by the exception.
		Areas within each park were identified and color coded based on their sensitivity.
		For example, turf areas require mowing, irrigation, and fertilization to maintain the optimal turf health needed to withstand heavy use, but any or all of these actions could have a negative effect on adjacent sensitive areas.

		The Environmentally Sensitive Areas Scheme was introduced in 1987 to offer incentives to encourage farmers to adopt agricultural practices which would safeguard and enhance parts of the country of particularly high landscape, wildlife or historic value.
		Defra introduced a new Environmental Stewardship Scheme on 3 March 2005 which supersedes (with enhancements) the Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Countryside Stewardship Schemes.

		The purpose of this Chapter is to provide for safe, orderly and beneficial development of areas characterized by diversity of physiographic conditions and shown on the Official Environmentally Sensitive Area Maps as Environmentally Sensitive Areas; to limit alteration of topography and reduce encroachment upon, or alteration of, such areas.
		Riparian Preservation Areas - The lands shown on the official maps as Riparian Areas, These areas are identified as 75 feet from the stream centerline for streams draining a basin of greater than 1 square mile, and 25 feet from streams that drain areas of one square mile or less.
		Erosive Lands and Slope Failure Lands are lands that are subject to damage from erosion and slope failure, or defined as erosion and slope failure lands on the Environmentally Sensitive Area Overlay map and have a slope of fifteen percent or greater.

		In some areas of the community lower density may be required to preserve desert character and environmental features, or it may be necessary due to land slopes or other physical constraints of the specific area.

		In environmentally sensitive areas, the GEIS can be used to define the type and intensity of development that is suitable for the area and to develop strong mitigation measures that individual projects must adopt to ensure compliance with its environmental standards.
		The SEQRA regulations define a Critical Environmental Area (CEA) as "a specific geographical area designated by a state or local agency, having exceptional or unique environmental characteristics." The focus of a CEA is on the definition of the critical area and the identification of its unique and exceptional environmental characteristics.
		An area is normally designated a CEA to require subsequent site specific projects and other actions affecting the geographical area to be reviewed more carefully and fully for their potential negative impacts on the designated area.

		However, it may not simply define such an area to be a water hazard if it does not meet the Definition of a “Water Hazard” and it should attempt to preserve the character of the hole.
		If a ball is in an environmentally-sensitive area defined as out of bounds, the player must play a ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (see Rule 20-5).
		The player must then place the ball on a spot within [specify area, e.g., six inches, one club-length, etc.] of and not nearer the hole than where it originally lay, that is not in a hazard or on a putting green.

		As a result, an area which clearly was part of the water hazard was outside the stakes and, thus, technically was outside the hazard.
		The Committee may define the area to be ground under repair or out of bounds, but it may not be defined as a water hazard or lateral water hazard.
		An environmentally-sensitive area should be physically protected to deter players from entering the area (e.g., by a fence, warning signs and the like) and it should be marked in accordance with the recommendations in the Rules of Golf (i.e., by yellow, red or white stakes, depending on the status of the area).

		With the flow of water arrives a steady input of nutrients from the surrounding land - the organic silts and sediments settle and, warmed by the sun, provide ideal conditions for the growth of microscopic plants and animals - the base of aquatic food chains.
		Coastal wetlands are often termed "aquatic farmlands" due to their importance as breeding/spawning areas for a range of water life.
		The communities in the area are perfectly aware of the serious and long-term problems that will arise from the destruction and loss of the Nariva Wetlands, as well, as the many benefits that exist for them if the wetlands, the Cocal and it’s surrounding subsystems are conserved and utilised wisely.

		Those areas have felt the brunt of the impact of the county's building boom in the past five years with the designation of those municipalities and surrounding areas as Development Districts in the 1997 plan.
		County Administrator Robert L. Stickels said those areas weren't included because the state has no plans to spend on infrastructure in those areas and that federal funding would not be available for road and sewer improvements in those areas.
		Stickels also cautioned planners that one of the key words in the Environmentally Sensitive Developing Areas concept is "developing", and that it could be interpreted that any parcel within the ESDA is intended to be developed.
