Summary
A classification of waterways in order to guide decisions on allocation of best management practices for fish protection and restoration of fish habitat and water
quality during agricultural waterway maintenance dredging.
To rate potential level of juvenile salmon use at time of maintenance, the classification applies local, credible knowledge of salmon abundance or density, water flow and temperature, or, where such knowledge is lacking, King County Geographic Information System (GIS) data to predict the potential for high, moderate, or low levels of salmon use in a given Agricultural Production District (APD) waterway.
.
Description
Waterway Classification within Agricultural Production Districts developed as a resource for the Agricultural Drainage Assistance Program (ADAP) .The first component of the classification is whether the waterway is a natural stream, a modified stream, or an artificial ditch.
The second component describes the expected presence or level of abundance of juvenile salmonids during the standard construction window.

Channel_configuration
From King County |
Description
Type of channel configuration Domainmodified - Modified waterways are natural waterways that have been straightened, usually as a consequence of diversion, dredging or diking, and have not reestablished a natural meander pattern. natural - Natural waterways are naturally occurring water bearing features, typically with headwaters, that have not been significantly altered from their historical meandering flow path or floodplain in any manner or, if historically altered, have reestablished a meandering course passively or through active restoration artificial - artificial |

Question_Num_classification
From King County |
Description
Decision tree question (for making classification determination) Domain0 1 - Is there credible knowledge of fish use (e.g.,density or population estimates, fish removal counts, or visual counts by a qualified fish biologist during mid- to late-summer low-flow period? If yes, does that knowledge/information definitively indicate either high or low/no use? 2 - If no credible salmonid use information is available, or if such information is ambiguous or may be unreliable, is there a total fish passage barrier identified in an existing GIS database or through other credible local information? If a total barrier is present, then the use of the waterway is classified as “low.” 3 - Is there known to be summer flow, a spring present, or is the channel a side channel to a mainstem river? 4 - If flows are unknown or uncertain, is the contributing (upstream) watershed area sufficient to generate summer flow? 5 - Is there a geomorphic feature present that indicates seepage, or is there a backwatering effect causing standing water and that is also connected to a perennial stream? |
