(SWRCB) general Construction Activity NPDES Stormwater Permit~ will be considered <br />to have significant stormwater pollution potential.2 <br /> <br />Riparian Corridor - The contiguous area of vegetation adjacent to perennial and <br />intermittent streams, lakes, and other water bodies, as determined by the association of <br />plant species typically found in riparian areas. For streams, the riparian corridor includes <br />any defined stream channels up to the bank full-flow line as well as adjacent upland <br />vegetation. <br /> <br />Sensitive Area - Any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are rare or <br />especially valuable, including any area in any of the following categories: <br /> <br /> 1. habitats containing or supporting "rare and endangered" species as defined by the <br /> State Fish and Game Commission; <br />2. perennial and intermittent streams and their tributaries that support aquatic habitat; <br />3. riparian corridors (see definition above); <br />4. lakes, ponds, and adjacent shore habitat; <br />5. wetlands, marshes, and coastal tide lands; <br />6. coastal and offshore areas containing breeding or nesting sites or used by migratory <br /> and resident water-ass~;~iated biru~, for resting areas and feeding; <br />7. areas used for scientific study and research concerning fish and wildlife; <br />8. existing game and wildlife refuges and reserves; and <br />9. sand dunes and sea cliff's.3 <br /> <br />Significant Erosioa Potential - A substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in <br />site conditions that could result in erosion and/or sedimentation of site soils. (Note: This <br />is consistent with the CEQA definition of significance. Conditions created by land <br />disturbance'~ctivities which require a grading permit, as defined by local ordinance, can <br />be used as thresholds of significance.) <br /> <br />Wet Season - October 15 to April 15 of each year, or as defined by local ordinance. <br /> <br />References <br />Association of Bay Area Governments, Improving our Bay-Delta Estua~.
