1.25 Sediment removal Sediment trapped in a buffer will change flow into the buffer over time, often resulting in concentrated flows. Periodic removal of accumulated sediment may be necessary. Use erosion control practic

1.3 Frozen soils In regions where runoff occurs while the soil is frozen, buffers will be much less effective due to limited infiltration. Other best management practices will need to be used in addition to buffers.

1.8 Effective buffer area ratio The amount of runoff through an area of buffer should be low to achieve high pollutant removal. One consideration is to base the design on a ratio of upslope runoff area (A) to effective b
