The Wetlands and Buffers Working Group (WBWG) was established to review the current regulations related to buffers and respective resources in Sussex County. The County hired the technical experts at RK&K consultants to facilitate these efforts and guide the WBWG to an end goal. Over the course of several months, the WBWG met to discuss the regulations and provide recommendations to County Council. This page provides links to the materials the WBWG reviewed during this effort.
