Section 3 <br />Strategies for /n-Stream Features <br />Specific ~A) <br />Strategies: B) <br />C) <br />D) <br />E) <br />F) <br />G) <br />Avoid manipulation of the stream channel and drainage system. <br />Restore manipulated reaches and improve habitat in poor areas. <br />Prevent excessive bank erosion. <br />Identify and protect significant in-stream plant populations. <br />Identify and protect spawning areas. <br />Ensure road crossings do not obstruct fish passages. <br />Avoid use of in-stream ponds to minimize thermal impacts. <br />Actions and A1) Manage riparian areas to be wild and allow the stream to meander <br />Implementation (within reasonable limits). Work with DNR to develop a riparian <br />Team(s): management plan. <br />Implementation Team: Riparian landowners, cities, DNR <br />A2) Leave woody debris (even large trees) in the channel, <br />provided they do not cause excessive bank erosion. Work <br />with DNR to determine whether to leave or remove woody <br />debris. <br />Implementation Team: Riparian landowners, cities, DNR <br />A3) Implement an educational campaign to encourage all to do above <br />actions. <br />Implementation Team: Advisory Committee <br />A4) Ensure construction projects do not excessively manipulate channel. <br />Implementation Team: DNR, VBWD, Cities <br />Specific Strategy: A) Avoid manipulation of the stream channel and drainage system. <br /> 'B) Restore manipulated reaches and improve habitat in poor areas. <br /> C) Prevent excessive bank erosion. <br /> D) Identify and protect significant in-stream plant populations. <br /> E) Identify and protect spawning areas. <br /> F) Ensure road crossings do not obstruct fish passages. <br /> G) Avoid use of in-stream ponds to minimize thermal impacts. <br />Actions and B1) Prioritize reaches for habitat improvement projects and determine <br />Implementation most appropriate project methods. <br />Teams}: Implementation Team: Technical Advisory Committee in cooperation <br />- with landowners - <br /> B2) Seek grants, design, and implement project for priority reaches. <br /> Implementation Team: DNR, VBWD, Washington SWCD, <br /> Landowners, TU. <br />3-17 <br />
