Natural Resources Inventory: An inventory of site conditions and environmental features, prepared and submitted in accordance with the provisions established herein, shall be required for all properties proposed for development.

(a) The inventory shall be prepared and certified by a professional qualified to perform environmental inventories. Evidence of the professional qualifications of the person preparing the inventory shall be submitted as a part of the inventory. In the case of construction of individual single-family detached dwellings, the inventory shall be required; however, professional preparation or certification shall not be required except for perennial stream flow determination or unless professional involvement is deemed necessary by the CBPA Manager because of the magnitude of land disturbance or the particular sensitivity of the location. Subdivisions effected through the Subdivision Ordinance shall comply fully with the terms of this chapter.

(b) The inventory shall contain a plan sheet that clearly depicts the extent and location of any of the following features: manmade and natural bodies of water including but not limited to rivers, creeks, streams, channels, ditches, lakes and ponds; floodplains; tidal and nontidal wetlands; and tidal shores.

(c) The applicant is responsible for having a site-specific in-field determination for perennial flow made by a qualified professional. The CBPA Manager shall confirm the site-specific in-field perennial flow determination. For the purpose of determining whether water bodies have perennial flow, a state approved, scientifically valid system of in-field indicators of perennial flow must be used.

(d) The inventory shall contain a classification of any wetlands present on the site. Wetlands delineations shall be performed in accordance with the comprehensive onsite determination method specified in the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands, 1987, as it may be amended from time to time.

(e) The exact boundaries of the RPA and RMA shall be adjusted, as necessary, based on the site-specific in-field evaluation and the Inventory and shall be depicted on the plan.

(f) The Inventory shall be submitted to the CBPA Manager for review and approval prior to or concurrent with the submission of applications for site plans, subdivision plans, land disturbing permits, building permits or any other activity that constitutes development. The CBPA Manager shall not approve the submitted documents unless the site conditions and environmental features inherent on the site have been identified as deemed appropriate by the CBPA Manager.
