The stream channel, lake or <br />estuary bed, water, biotic communities and the habitat <br />features that occur therein. <br /> <br />2. <br />stream <br />except <br /> <br />Perennial streams. Permanently inundated surface <br />courses. Surface water flows throughout the year <br />in years of infrequent drought. <br /> <br />3. Riparian Dependent Resources. These are resources <br />that owe tneir existence to the riparian area. <br /> <br />4. Riparian Areas. Geographically delineable areas <br />with distinctive resource values and characteristics that <br />are comprised of the aquatic and riparian ecosystems. <br /> <br />5. Riparian Ecosystems. A transition between the <br />aquatic ecosystem and the adjacent terrestrial ecosystem; <br />identified by soil characteristics or distinctive vegeta- <br />tion communities that require free or unbound water. <br /> <br />2526.1 - Inventory and Analysis. In addition to routinely <br />collected data, collect, analyze and interpret the follow- <br />ing information as needed for land and resource management <br />planning: <br /> <br />1. Riparian dependent resources. <br /> <br />2. Streamside vegetation and its value as fish and <br />wildlife habitat and its relation to the control of sedi- <br />ment originating on upland areas, to the maintenance of <br />stream temperatures, and to the stability of streambanks <br />and channels. <br /> <br />3. Ground water recharge. <br /> <br />4. possibility of reducing or otherwise modifying the <br />risk of flooding. <br /> <br />5. Water quality and the deposition or bUffering of <br />potential water pollutants. <br /> <br />*-FSM 3/86 AMEND 48-* <br />
