Common use of Riparian Program Outcomes Clause in Contracts

Riparian Program Outcomes. The Riparian Program will achieve the following outcomes in accordance with the Riparian Guidelines, as described in Exhibit H. 4.2.1. The overarching, long-term, outcome of the Riparian Program is to re-establish and/or maintain the full expression of successional dynamics of the riparian plant community within Riparian Management Corridors, thereby improving and maintaining water quality and fish habitat. 4.2.2. The outcome described in subsection 4.2.1 will be achieved in part by the LE and the Eligible Riparian Landowners attaining and maintaining Proper Functioning Conditions (PFC) as specified in each Riparian Management Agreement. The Parties recognize that it will take time to achieve PFC in many locations. 4.2.3. If a particular Riparian Management Area is non-functional or functional-at risk, as described in Exhibit H, the near-term desired outcome is to achieve an upward trend toward a sustainable PFC. 4.2.4. The LE will enroll Eligible Riparian Landowners in Riparian Management Agreements covering at least 80 percent of the length of the Riparian Management Corridors owned by Eligible Riparian Landowners within each SIF Region (see subsection 4.9., however, describing the circumstances under which this length criterion may be reduced to as low as 77 percent). The LE will be the lead entity in developing site specific Riparian Management Agreements and in enrolling Eligible Riparian Landowners. 4.2.5. The Westside Restoration Area is a unique region in this Agreement. For purposes of the WUP, the Westside Restoration Area is part of the Wood Valley WUP Region, and will contribute to the Wood 4.2.6. The Riparian Program will also be designed to maintain viable agricultural activities within the Off-Project Restoration Area and Westside Restoration Area and with consideration of the ranching and farming infrastructure to the extent described in the Riparian Guidelines.
