Riparian Management Zones Sample Clauses

The Riparian Management Zones clause establishes specific areas adjacent to water bodies where land use and management practices are regulated to protect water quality and aquatic habitats. Typically, this clause defines buffer zones along rivers, streams, or lakes where activities such as logging, construction, or pesticide application are restricted or require special permits. Its core practical function is to minimize environmental impacts on sensitive riparian ecosystems, thereby reducing erosion, filtering pollutants, and preserving biodiversity.
Riparian Management Zones. RMZs for fish-bearing streams impact water quality. As discussed above, RMZs have three zones: the core zone nearest the water, the inner zone in the middle, and the outer zone furthest from the water. Table 3-6 shows the widths of RMZs required for each site class, and the width of each of the zones. See WAC 222 and/or the WDNR FPHCP (WDNR 2005) for a detailed explanation of the riparian rules for forest practices.

Riparian Management Zones. Riparian Management Zone Strategies for all classes of streams, wetlands and lakes: Retention Level 20% to 100% of the pre-harvest basal area >12.5cm dbh within the RMZ will be retained. The spatial pattern of prescribed retention may vary throughout the RMZ and may include single trees, clumps of trees, and/or reserves or WTRA’s. Riparian Assessment Prior to a primary forest activity in a RMZ, a riparian assessment will be completed by a QRP to inform the RMZ retention levels 3 Only (a) hemlock, Grand fir, subalpine fir, or spruce; or (b) other conifer trees with a height: diameter ratio >90 may be removed. to be specified in the Site Plan. The riparian assessment will consider such factors as: • tree species composition, • soils, • windthrow potential*, • risk of erosion and/or mass wasting, • stream channel stability, • wildlife habitat, • fish habitat, • the role of trees and understory vegetation in conserving biodiversity, • visual quality, • operational constraints, • damage or imminent threats to the stand, • the type, timing or intensity of forest practices that can be carried out in the context of riparian management, • the role of forest shading in controlling an increase in temperature within a temperature sensitive stream, if the increase might have a deleterious effect on fish or fish habitat, • forest health factors, and/or • other site specific factors the QRP deems important. * Windthrow potential will be assessed using an approach consistent with the Windthrow Field Cards (FS 712)
