What can be done in response to buffer violations?

Obtaining a court-ordered injunction is an effective legal remedy in response to buffer violations because it allows for immediate prevention of further non-compliance. When a violation occurs, a court injunction can be sought to prohibit the violator from continuing actions that damage or encroach upon protected buffer areas. This legal action ensures that the violator must cease any harmful activities until the matter is resolved, protecting the integrity of the buffer.

Enforcement through the judiciary adds a layer of seriousness and authority to environmental regulations, which may not be as effectively addressed through mere warnings or reporting to federal authorities. It addresses the issue directly and can lead to more significant corrective measures being implemented.
