Degree that each eC0~yste'~ i$ ~_T1 p.oQrl r:nnfH tinn And i tri <br />dynamIcs tend to remain in a state of equi Hbrl um. <br /> <br />2. Degree that the ecosystem has the ability to recover from <br />abrupt physical changes - (a low rating would indIcate a fragIle <br />ecosystem that may recover slowly if at all). <br /> <br />3. De~ree that the types of ecosystems that occur contribute to <br />environmental conscience and are a part of man's culture, <br /> <br />(C) Human inf1uenc~ fac~rs: <br /> <br />1.

Of hIghest <br /> <br />value would be ,,'ater of a quality better than that which is needed for <br /> <br />the expected uses. The effects of a project on 1<ater quality may extend <br /> <br />'well beyond the immediate project areA; therefore, the area to be used <br /> <br />for this evaluation should be carefully considered in order to meaSure <br /> <br />the cumulative environmental effects of the proposed action. An example <br /> <br />of this is an irrigation project in which the effects of salinity on <br /> <br />water quality may extend far beyond the project area, but which effects <br /> <br />may be partially mitigated by salinity control measures incorporated into <br /> <br />the project or outside the p,roject area. <br /> <br />(A) Quantity factors: <br /> <br />1. Type, number, and quantity of each wastewater source - for <br />reconnaissance reports identify industrial waste sources by at <br />least two-digit Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC). <br />Include number of sources in each classification, and discharge <br />in millions of gallons per day for each source.
