I assume that stormwater drainage pipes and appurtenances count as utilities and will be allowed the 10 or 15 foot disturbance buffer depending on diameter? When open channels (grass lined or riprap) are needed to convey water across a site are they considered to be constructed areas with permeable surfaces and allowed the 25' buffer? Thanks.

Hal, I would say yes, and yes.
