No structure, activity, storage of materials or parking of vehicles shall be permitted within a buffer area.

Buffering screens shall be designed, planted, graded, landscaped and developed with the general guideline that buffer must obscure the visual of solar energy system and mitigate noises generated on the site.

Screening buffers shall contain the following quantity of plant material per 50 lineal feet: two shade trees, plus two evergreen trees, plus 20 shrubs.

Screening buffer plantings shall achieve an 80% opacity after five years' growth.

No more than 21,780 square feet of vegetation may be cleared for a solar energy system which is used to generate power for a utility company or as part of a PPA agreement.

Evergreen and ornamental trees may be substituted at a ratio of two to one shade tree, for up to 50% of the requirement. Alternative types of compensatory planting may be permitted, when approved by the Planning Board.

Locations of compensatory trees must be clearly labeled on the landscape plan. They may be placed anywhere on the site, but are in addition to other required trees.

In the event that the applicant establishes to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that constraints incident to the land itself (including, without limitation, extreme topography, unsuitable soils, rock outcrops and existing uninterrupted dense canopy) render it impractical to locate on the lot the required number of compensatory trees, then, at the election of the Planning Board, the applicant shall:

Structures comprising part of a regional flood-detention project.

Detention or retention basins and related outfall facilities.

Irrigation ponds and agricultural activities as defined in the New Jersey Right-to-Farm Act N.J.S.A. 4:1C-1 et seq.

New structures [other than those permitted as exceptions to Subsection D(1) and (3)], and including retaining walls, parking facilities and roads (but not those which are parallel to the stream) are permitted in a stream corridor only upon a clear and convincing demonstration by the applicant that prohibiting such activity would result in economic hardship or would conflict with a compelling public need.

If an exception is granted pursuant to Subsection D(4)(a)[1] through [3], the board of jurisdiction or zoning officer, as the case may be, may reduce the width of of the stream corridor to no less than 50 feet unless it is a C1 water in which case the default width is too feet.

If such an exception is granted, the applicant shall rehabilitate an environmentally degraded stream corridor within the same tract at least equivalent in size to the stream corridor reduction, if possible. Rehabilitation shall include reforestation, stream bank stabilization and removal of debris. The area to be rehabilitated and the rehabilitation plan shall be acceptable to the board of jurisdiction or the zoning officer as the case may be.

Any solid waste or hazardous waste facilities, including but not limited to sanitary landfills, transfer stations and wastewater lagoons.

Junkyards, commercial and industrial storage facilities and open storage of vehicles and materials.

The applicant for any activity permitted in a stream corridor shall rehabilitate any degraded areas within the stream corridor, in a manner acceptable to the board of jurisdiction or the zoning officer, as the case may be, unless the applicant demonstrates that it is economically infeasible to do so.

The applicant shall also:

The applicant shall provide whatever additional measures are necessary to assure that areas designated as stream corridors will be preserved and to prevent additional encroachments in the stream corridor likely to occur as a result of the approval granted.

The board of jurisdiction, in the case for an application for development, may require conservation easements or deed restrictions assuring that there will be no further intrusion on the stream corridor than that permitted by the activity approved.
