Does tare wetland unit have the opportunity to improve water quality? <br />(seep. 44) <br />Answer YES if you know or believe there are pollutants in groundwater or surface water <br />coining into the wetland that would otherwise reduce water quality in streams, lakes or <br />groundwater downgradient from the wetland. Note which of the following conditions <br />provide the sources ofpollutants. A unit may have pollutants comingfrom several <br />sources, but any single source would qualify as opportunity. <br />Grazing in the wetland or within 150 ft <br />✓ Untreated stormwater discharges to wetland <br />Tilled fields or orchards within 150 ft of wetland <br />A stream or culvert discharges into wetland that drains developed areas, residential areas, <br />fanned fields, roads, or clear-cut logging <br />✓ Residential, urban areas, golf courses are within 150 ft of wetland <br />multiplier <br />Wetland is fedby groundwater high in phosphorus or nitrogen <br />Other <br />2 <br />M✓ YES multiplier is 2 ONO multiplier is 1 <br />D <br />TOTAL -Water Quality Functions Multiply the score from DI by D2 <br />12 <br />Add scare to table ann.
