(B) Porosity, permeability, transmissivity, <br />waterholding capacity, saturated thickness and volume of aquifers <br />associated with streams, including alluvial aquifers, perched aquifers, and <br />other water bearing zones found beneath valley floors; and <br />(C) Moisture held in soils or the plant growth medium <br />within the alluvial valley floor, and the physical and chemical properties <br />of the subsoil that provide for sustained vegetation growth or cover during <br />extended periods of low precipitation. <br />(iii) Characteristics supporting the function of regulating <br />the flow of water which include, but are not limited to: <br />(A) Geometry and physical character of the valley, <br />expressed in terms of the longitudinal profile and slope of the valley and <br />the channel, the cross section, slopes and proportions of the channels, <br />flood plains and low terraces, the nature and stability of the stream banks <br />and the vegetation established in the channels and along the stream banks <br />• and floor plains; <br />(B) The nature of surface flows as shown by the <br />frequency and duration of flows of representative magnitude including low <br />flows and floods: and <br />(C) The nature of interchange of -water between <br />streams, their associated alluvial aquifers and any bedrock aquifers as <br />shown by the rate and amount of water supplied by the stream to associated <br />alluvial and bedrock aquifers (i.e., recharge) and by the rates and amounts <br />of water supplied by aquifers to the stream (i.e., baseflow); and <br />(iv) Characteristics which make water available and which <br />include, but are not limited to, the presence of land forms including flood <br />plains and terraces suitable for agricultural activities. <br />RESPONSE: <br />The field investigations of the general area described under Rule <br />2.06.8 (3) resulted in the identification of two areas which are <br /> <br />2.06-24 <br />
