Serial No.D-044569 NO SURFACE OCCUPANCY STIPULATION WETLANDS/FLOODPL.AINS/RIPARIAN AREAS No surface occupancy or use is allowed on the lands described below: All or portions of Sec.21,T.13S,R.90W,6TH PM, as shown on the attached map prepared by Michael K. Ward on 12-20-93, which becomes a part hereof. Wetlands, Floodplains and Riparian Areas of any defined drainage or location containing these specific ecosystem types come under jurisdiction of this stipulation. Access roads may be allowed in these areas only if alternative roads have been reviewed by the appropriate personnel, and have been rejected as being more environmentally damaging. When road locations must occur in these areas, streams will be crossed at right angles and access across other areas will be held to a minimum. Streams will not be paralleled by roads through these areas. Location of these areas which is more specific than can be identified on USGS Topographical maps will come at the APD stage based on on-the-ground observations. For the purpose of: The management of wetlands and flood plains are subject to Executive Orders 11990 and 11988, respectively. The purpose of the EO's are to avoid to the extent possible the long and short term adverse impacts associated with the destruction or modification of wetlands and floodDlains and to avoid direct or indirect support of new construction in wetlands wherever there is a practical alternative. Also, it is recognized that there is a direct relationship between impacts on such areas and effects on water quality and aquatic ecosystems. There is a high risk of irreversible and irretrievable impacts on the latter with operation and developments in wetlands, floodplains and riparian areas. Any changes to this stipulation will be made in accordance with the land use plan and/or the regulatory provisions for such changes.
