White Paper Overview
To ensure that
guidelines and any future policies and regulations are based upon the
best available science, a series of white papers is being written by scientific
authorities with expertise in each white paper topic. The range of topics
addressed in the white papers is extensive, and provides a very comprehensive
scientific foundation for future guideline documents and for development
of agency policies and regulations. Each white paper addresses current
understanding of impacts of development and land management activities
on aquatic and riparian habitat and potential mitigation for these impacts.
The following topics are addressed in the white paper series:
- Over-water
structures--marine
- Over-water
structures--freshwater
- Over-water
structures--treated wood issues
- Water crossings
- Channel
design
- Marine and
estuarine shoreline modifications issues
- Ecological
issues in floodplain and riparian corridors
- Dredging
and gravel removal--freshwater
- Dredging--marine.
