Riverfront area as defined herein and land bordering on any marsh, freshwater wetland, vernal pool, wet meadow, bog, swamp, river, stream, creek, pond, reservoir, or lake (hereinafter "bordering land") are presumed to be important to the protection of these resources because activities undertaken in close proximity to these resource areas have a high likelihood of adverse impact upon the resources, either immediately, as a consequence of construction, or over time, as a consequence of daily operation or existence of the activities. These adverse impacts from construction and use can include, without limitation, erosion, siltation, loss of groundwater recharge, poor water quality, and loss of wildlife habitat.

The Commission therefore may require that the applicant maintain a strip of continuous, undisturbed vegetative cover within the 200-foot riverfront area or bordering land.
