Sewer Service Area Delineation and Planning Process - WDNR (2935 words) |
 | 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 (906 words) |
| 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. |
