they are inadequate or do not exist. (FRC 12-13, 1-3
• Reaches FRC-5 and FRC-9: establish natural riparian vegetation
buffer along watercourse within the golf courses.

Natural Heritage
System
• Protect EPA’s; conserve ECA’s & LSA’s according to OP;
Protect large block at mouth and improve its links
• Protect EPA’s; conserve ECA’s & LSA’s according to OP;
Protect large block at mouth and improve its links
• Enhancement: when opportunity arises, restore slough mosaic.
As ECA shrub and meadow areas mature, forest interior targets
will be met.
• Restoration: The corridor linkage needs reinforcing – join to
Miller Creek natural areas and extend riparian buffers. Target
coarse upland soils & headwaters.
