What is the average width of the proposed buffer? Width is the dimension outward from the water, demonstrated in the graphic below.

What is the average length of your buffer? Length is the dimension along the shoreline, as shown in the graphic above.
Reaches 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12: 1653 feet
Reaches 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15: 960 feet
What is the approximate total size of the buffer in square feet? The Hennepin County Natural Resources Interactive Map can be used to measure, if needed.
Reaches 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12: 489614 square feet
Reaches 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15: 313196 square feet
Will your buffer be vegetated by seeding, planted with live plants (plugs), or both?
Seeding
Attach or insert an aerial photo or site plan showing the property, waterbody, and location of the buffer. The Hennepin County Natural Resources Interactive Map is one source available
to provide this aerial photo.
Attach or insert a map showing the slope contours of the property. Use the Hennepin County Natural Resources Interactive Map (follow the directions for “Finding elevations and grade
changes” on the guide).
Attach or insert a planting layout. Plants must be selected from the NMCWD Shoreline Buffer Plant List. Other plants can be used but costs can only be claimed as matching funds. Ensure
your planting layout indicates the aquatic and upland sides of the buffer.
