Figure 6.34 Stream buffers can be contentious and are not always to be taken as exact boundaries to determine on‑the‑ground activities. To show this 600‑foot stream buffer’s inherent fuzziness, a multi‑ring buffer was created at 200‑foot, 400‑foot, and 600‑foot intervals. The 200‑foot interval is medium green, the 400‑foot is light green, and the 600‑foot is a lighter green. With no outlines and a transparent effect, the buffer shows its general location without appearing set in stone.
