What wetland resources are protected?

In addition to BVWs and floodplains, the Holliston-relevant areas that are protected under the Act include vernal pools, banks, beaches, land underwater, and riverfront area (land under or within 200-feet of rivers and streams that flow year round). Specific definitions of each of these areas can be found in the law and its regulations.

Under the bylaw, however, the distinction between protected and unprotected wetlands no longer exists: all wetlands are protected with a 100’ buffer zone (200’ if a perennial stream?)
