LYON <br />~oUNDJUST: The boundary was drawn to approximately the one hundred year <br />flood plain, and the extent of the potential riparian <br />vegetation. In some areas the natural floodplain has been <br />altered by roads and railroads which act as dikes, and the <br />boundary has been drawn reflecting the present flooding <br />limits. Although the site was delineated for the river and <br />floodplain only, the importance of the entire watershed to <br />the health of the river should be considered. <br />'RISEC.ACRES: PRIMARY.ACRES: 3,855.00 TL.ACRES: <br />IIITECOM: <br />:ite Significance: <br />~LDRATING: 5 <br />ATINGCOM: [RANK CHANGED 1998-06-18] <br />~IODIVSIG: S3 <br />,IODIVCOM: The site contains a poor occurrence of an imperiled plant <br />. community, and good occurrences of a state rare plant and <br />two amphibians. <br />~THERVALUES: <br />~THERVALUCOM: <br />~ROTURGENCY: P3 <br />~ROTURGCOM:.

Local efforts are underway to <br />improve the river and restore native riparian vegetation, <br />See discussion above for: management and rest oration <br />recommendations. Existing native vegetation should be <br />protected and enhanced, and new plantings of native species <br />made where feasible. <br />eal Estate and Protection: <br />ONSINTENT: <br />UMTRACTS: ESTPROTCOST: <br />.
