Environmental Impacts/Review and Considerations on application of Paolo and Jean Blower Date: January 22, 2007 TO: Southold Town Board of Trustees Lauren Standish, Secretarial Assistant FROM: Heather Cusack, Environmental Technician RE: PAOLO AND JEAN BLOWER 5865 SOUNDVIEW AVE., SOUTHOLD SCTM# 58-1-3 REPORT: This report is in response to the Trustees' request for an inventory of the above referenced parcel and a review of the application proposed to the Board of Trustees. PURPOSE: The purpose is to determine the effect of the above application on the natural resources of the Town of Southold. STATEMENT OF FACTS are as follows: Applicant applied for a permit to construct an elevated timber catwalk 4' x 205' through a freshwater wetland, and pathways 4' wide connecting catwalk from the existing dwelling and the top of the bluff; dated 10/19/06. FINDINGS These are my findings on this project, as the Environmental Technician for the Board of Trustees, Town of Southold. The lot is located in a globally rare natural plant community, an interdunal freshwater wetland swale. This is a distinct ecosystem that is seasonally flooded throughout the freshwater wetland area. It is a dynamic system that is susceptible to saltwater intrusion and shifting sand formation. An interdunal swale forms an ecosystem that occurs sporadically along the Atlantic coast, seasonally flooded depressions that occur in the back dunes and contain rare plants, recharge areas for groundwater, and amphibian habitats. The subject property is located in a New York State designated Significant Fish and Wildlife Habitat, by the Department of State, and the New York Natural Heritage Program. The proposed catwalk is located through a cranberry bog/freshwater wetland, as defined in Chapter 275 Wetlands and Shoreline of the Town Code, 275-2, Definitions, Wetlands (Freshwater) (2). On my site visit on January 16, 2007 1 found the following plant species: Wetland Trees *Red Maple (Acer rubrum) Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida) Pin oak (Quercus palustris) Scrub oak (Quercus illicifolia) Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) Black gum/Tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica) Shadbush (Amelanchier spp.) Wetland Shrubs *Common winterberry (Ilex verticillata) Sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia) Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) Bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica) Sweet gale (Myrica gale) Swamp azalea (Rhodendron viscosum) Huckleberry (Vaccinium spp.) Emergent vegetation (others there but difficult to locate in January) *Bulrushes (Scirpus spp.) *Common Reed (Phragmites australis) Ferns — Royal fern (Osmunda regalis), Marsh fern (Thelpteris palustris), Sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis) Free Floating vegetation *Duckweed (Lemna spp.) Wet meadow vegetation/Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic plants *Sedges (Carex spp.)(Tussock sedge) *Rushes (Juncus spp.) Soft rush (Juncus effuses) Cattails (Typha spp.) — only in the very eastern part of the wetland Meadow rue (Thalictrum polygonum) Blue flag (Iris versicolor or prismatica) Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) Swamp Rose-mallow (Hibiscus moschutos) Marsh St. John Wort (Hypericum virginicm) Yellow eyed grass (Xyris torta) Round leafed Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) Meadow beauty (Rhelex virginica) Northern Bugleweed (Lycopus uniflorus) Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) Bog mat vegetation *Sphagnum mosses (Sphagnum spp.) *Cranberries (Vaccinium spp.) Submergent vegetation *Bladderworts (Utricularia spp.) *Water smartweed (Polygonum amphibium) Grasses/flowers (in the dune area) American Beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) Goldenrod • Starred species are listed in Chapter 275 under Definitions Wetlands Wildlife species indicative of this habitat but not observed due to the time of year may include the following; More extensive and detailed animal lists can be found on the NYSDEC website. Freshwater snail Eastern newt Piping plover Butterfly Spring peeper Least tern Dragonfly Spade foot toad Great blue heron Bullfrog Snapping turtle Muskrat Green frog Painted turtle Spotted salamander The freshwater wetland is 1.21 acres. The Coastal Erosion hazard area is 1.75 acres. The wetland coverage from the proposed catwalk would be 820 square feet. Oak and pitch pine trees have been topped, pruned, and cut on either side, in the middle of, and on the seaward side of the wetland. There is a path on the eastern part of the property that crosses the wetland where boards of lumber have been placed and parts of the wetland have been trampled as a narrow access path that probably was used in the past by previous residents. Suggested Environmental Considerations The following are questions for the applicant and information that I suggest be investigated/considered: 1. 4' wide pathways are proposed for dune area from the house to the proposed catwalk and from the seaward end of the proposed catwalk to the top of bluff, but there is no information in the application as to the construction of these paths. Will there be removal of dune vegetation? Placement of woodchips or otherwise to delineate a path? 2. Has the applicant received a permit from the NYSDEC for the catwalk? I checked the NYSDEC website; the permit has been applied for but the site indicates that a permit has not yet been issued. I put the NYSDEC contact information in the file. 3. The construction of the catwalk at the proposed location will require the removal of a large amount of wetland shrub vegetation, primarily mature Highbush Blueberry, and also other plant species as listed above. The impact to the wetland will include the loss of wetland due to the placement of posts, the removal of these plants, and the loss of their contribution to nutrient flow and habitat within the wetland, and the coverage that will occur due to a 4' wide walkway. 4. Removal of all the wood from the trees that were cut out of the wetland and dune, to an upland area. 5. Lastly an important fact is that there are no other structures through this area of interdunal freshwater wetland swale that I observed, from Goldsmith's Inlet east past the County Park at Peconic Dunes Camp. Allowing a structure through this rare and sensitive wetland sets a precedent for allowing additional structures through this habitat on other properties, and impacts through the loss of plants and on the wetlands. Legislative Environmental Considerations Listed in the purpose and jurisdiction and definitions of Chapter 275, in 275-2 and 275-3, B " Wetlands are lands and submerged lands commonly called bogs, containing bog mat vegetation including cranberries (Vaccinium sp.), and other fresh water wetland systems", and "the purpose of Chapter 275 is to ensure for the residents of the Town of Southold the protection and preservation of its wetlands and that their values, including protection of groundwater, flood control, plant and wildlife habitat, protection and enhancement of existing vegetation cover in order to maintain water quality and wildlife habitat, protection of wildlife, waterfowl, and plant habitat and the maintenance of existing populations and species diversity, prevention of loss or degradation of critical wildlife and plant habitat " and these will be impacted by the proposed structure in this area. Also, Chapter 275. Section 12B.of the Southold Town Code states that "The Trustees may adopt a resolution directing the issuance of a permit to perform operations applied for only if it determines that such operations will not substantially: A. Adversely affect the wetlands of the Town, D. Adversely affect aquatic wildlife and vegetation or the natural habitat thereof, J Adversely affect the aesthetic value of the wetland and adjacent areas." According to past aerial photography and historical information the groundwater table experiences seasonal fluctuations and the size of the wetlands increase with the movement of groundwater. The subject property has been identified as designated by the Department of State and the New York State Natural Heritage Program as a globally rare habitat that is found only in five places on Long Island. This ecosystem has been identified as the only interdunal swale ecosystem occurring in the Town of Southold and contains the rare Iris prismatica, and the maritime dunes that are also designated as State Rare by the New York State Natural Heritage Program. The New York State Natural Heritage program has issued a publication in which interdunal swales are listed as priority habitats for conservation. The disturbance of swales and the surrounding dunes will often lead to invasion by the common reed (European Phragmites) and Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). A small stand of Phragmites is found in that area now and impacts may support an invasion of Phragmites and a loss of valuable wetland species. Possible Mitigation Strategies A narrower catwalk; 2-3' instead of 4'; use of fiberglass grating to allow for plants to grow and no CCA or ACQ treated lumber used in the construction. Currently there is a walkway of wood planks to the east of the proposed catwalk that has presumably been used to cross the wetland; these are laid down in an open area of cranberry bog and sphagnum moss wetland, and there is less impact to the wetland by accessing the beach through this type of temporary, seasonally placed (during the summer months it will be a lot drier through there) walkway than a permanent structure where vegetation is removed. Another possibility is a roll up walkway similar to what is used in Southampton to cross the dunes in areas, with support that are smaller than what is needed for a 4' wide catwalk. • CONCLUSION In response to your request for my report/inventory, I would recommend that the based on that the area is a globally rare habitat and in order to protect this unique habitat the only mitigation is no construction or the placement of temporary planks to cross the wetland. In addition, information from the State documents the sensitivity of the area. The proposed catwalk and walkway will adversely affect this natural habitat. Allowing a structure here sets a bad precedent for protecting the rest of this habitat; I recommend the strictest constraints in the swale. The applicant has not demonstrated that there will not be negative impacts from the proposed construction. I would request that they do an impact assessment, and be responsible for showing that there will be no impact on the wetland and dune. Attachments: 1.

Located: 5865 Soundview Ave., Southold. SCTM#58-1-3 The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program(LWRP)Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is INCONSISTENT with the denoted following Policy Standards and therefore is INCONSISTENT with the LWRP. Note the catwalk is not a permitted over a vegetated wetland pursuant to 275-11. Construction and operation standards; see response to Sub-policy 6.3 below. Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystem. THE PROPOSED ACTION IS LOCATED WITHIN A MARITIME INTERDUNAL SWALE A LOCAL,STATE AND GLOBALLY RARE ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY. THE AREA IS ALSO A NEW YORK STATE LISTED SIGNIFICANT FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AREA. THE WETLAND TRANVERSES FIVE PROPERTIES OF VARYING SIZES; THERE ARE NO OTHER CATWALKS LOCATED WITHIN THE FRESHWATER WETLAND! ACCESS IS GAINED TO THE LONG ISLAND SOUND VIA FOOT PATHS. THE APPLICANT CURRENLTY ENJOYS ACCESS TO THE LONG ISLAND SOUND. AERIAL PHOTOS AND SITE INSPECTION INDICATE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ESTABLISHED ACCESS TO THE SOUND VIA A PRONOUNCED FOOT PATH. THE FOOT PATH MEANDERS THROUGH THE FRESHWATER WETLAND AND DUNE COMMUNITIES(See Figure 2). THE PROPOSED ACTION IS LOCATED WITHIN A MARITIME INTERDUNAL SWALE A LOCAL, STATE AND GLOBALLY RARE ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY. THE AREA IS ALSO A NEW YORK STATE LISTED SIGNIFICANT FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AREA. THE WETLAND TRANVERSES FIVE PROPERTIES OF VARYING SIZES: THERE ARE NO OTHER CATWALKS LOCATED WITHIN THE FRESHWATER WETLAND! ACCESS IS GAINED TO THE LONG ISLAND SOUND VIA FOOT PATHS. 6.2 Protect and restore Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats. A. Protect Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat values from uses or activities that would: 1. Destroy habitat values associated with the designated habitat through: a. direct physical alteration, disturbance, or pollution, or b. indirect effects of actions, which would result in a loss of habitat. 2. Significantly impair the viability of the designated habitat beyond the tolerance range of important fish or wildlife species which rely on the habitat values found within the designated area through: a. degradation of existing habitat elements, b. change in environmental conditions, C. functional loss of habitat values, or d. adverse alteration of physical, biological, or chemical characteristics. The habitat impairment test presented in this section must be met for any activity that is subject to consistency review under federal and state laws. If the proposed action is subject to consistency review, then the habitat protection policy applies, whether the proposed action is to occur within or outside the designated area. Definitions Habitat destruction is defined as the loss of fish or wildlife use through direct physical alteration, disturbance, or pollution of a designated area or through the indirect effects of these actions on a designated area. Habitat destruction may be indicated by changes in vegetation, substrate, or hydrology, or by increases in runoff, erosion, sedimentation or pollutants. Significant impairment is defined as reduction in vital resources (e.g., food, shelter, living space) or change in environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, substrate, salinity) beyond the tolerance range of important species of fish or wildlife that rely on the habitat values found within the designated area. Indicators of a significantly impaired habitat focus on ecological alterations and may include, but are not limited to, reduced carrying capacity, changes in community structure (e.g. food chain relationships, species diversity, etc), reduced productivity and/or increased incidence of disease and mortality. The tolerance range of a species of fish or wildlife has been defined as the physiological range of conditions beyond which a species will not survive at all. In this document, the term is used to describe the ecological range of conditions that supports the specie's population or has the potential to support a restored population, where practical. Two indicators that the tolerance range of a species has been exceeded are the loss of individuals through an increase in emigration and an increase in death rate. An abrupt increase in death rate may occur as an environmental factor falls beyond a tolerance limit (a range has both upper and lower limits). Many environmental factors, however, do not have a sharply defined tolerance limit, but produce increasing emigration or death rates with increasing departure from conditions that are optimal for the species. The range of parameters that should be considered in applying the habitat impairment test include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. physical parameters, such as living space, circulation, flushing rates, tidal amplitude, turbidity, water temperature, depth (including loss of littoral zone), morphology, substrate type, vegetation, structure, erosion and sedimentation rates 2. biological parameters, such as community structure, food chain relationships, species diversity, predator/prey relationships, population size, mortality rates, reproductive rates, meristic features,behavioral patterns and migratory patterns, and 3. chemical parameters, such as dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, acidity, dissolved solids, nutrients, organics, salinity, and pollutants (heavy metals, toxics and hazardous materials) The proposed action will result in a significant impairment and physical loss of rare habitat. Where the catwalk is placed in the freshwater wetland, vegetative and benthic species loss will occur. The introduction of TREATED TIMBER construction materials would result in the leachine of hazardous materials and chemicals known to be toxic to freshwater organisms. B. Where destruction or significant impairment of habitat values cannot be avoided, minimize potential impacts of land use or development through appropriate mitigation. Use mitigation measures that are likely to result in the least environmentally damaging feasible alternative. Mitigation includes: 1. Avoidance of potential adverse impacts, including: a. avoiding ecologically sensitive areas, b. scheduling activities to avoid vulnerable periods in life cycles or the creation of unfavorable environmental conditions, C. preventing fragmentation of intact habitat areas. The proposed action will result in the fragmentation of a New York State Sienificant Fish and Wildlife Habitat Area, settine a precedent that would result in the continued physical loss of a globally rare ecological complex. 2. Minimization of unavoidable potential adverse impacts, including: a. reducing scale or intensity of use or development, b. designing projects to result in the least amount of potential adverse impact, C. choosing alternative actions or methods that would lessen potential impact. 3. Specific measures designed to protect habitat values from impacts that cannot be sufficiently avoided or minimized to prevent habitat destruction or significant habitat impairment, and 4. Specific protective measures included in the narratives for each designated Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat area. The ability to mitieate the proposed action is limited. The existine foot path allows access to the Lone Island Sound. The impacts of the footpath are temporary and seasonal. Excludine the leaching of chemicals into the ecosystem from treated wood, with lessens over time; the physical impacts of a catwalk structure are permanent. Due to the sensitivity and ecoloeical significance of the wetland, "no-action" is the best mitigation alternative. 6.3 Protect and restore tidal and freshwater wetlands. A. Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements of the Southold Town Board of Trustees laws and regulations for all Andros Patent and other lands under their jurisdiction Chapter 275 defines a dock as: DOCK —Any permanent or seasonal structure,except a building,located or proposed to be located on lands abutting or comprised of freshwater or tidal wetlands or connected to a bulkhead or the upland and extending over the water's surface, designed to secure vessels and provide access from the shore to a body of water.For the purpose of this chapter,this term shall also include the associated structures necessary to cross wetlands and adjacent natural areas.The term "dock" includes the terms "wharves," "piers," "fixed docks," "floating docks," "floats" or "catwalks." Note the catwalk is not a permitted over a vegetated wetland pursuant to 275-11. Construction and operation standards. [3] Prohibited locations and activities. [a] Given the unique and sensitive natural environmental characteristics described in the Town of Southold Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan and the New York State Department of State Significant Habitat descriptions,no new docks will be permitted,over vegetated wetlands or such that it causes habitat fragmentation of vegetated wetlands,in Downs Creek,Hallocks Bay.

This approximately 150-acre area is bounded by Long Island Sound on the north, Horton Lane on the east,Sound View Avenue on the south,and Mill Lane on the west. The fish and wildlife habitat includes a narrow area of maritime beach that extends approximately 2.25 miles along the Sound from approximately 800 feet west of Goldsmith Inlet northeast to and including Horton Lane Beach; Goldsmith Inlet and Pond and its contiguous tidal wetlands, which lie at the western end of the habitat;and a mosaic of maritime dunes,maritime freshwater interdunal swales, wetlands,and wooded uplands extending from Goldsmith Inlet County Park northeast to Great Pond. The habitat is bordered by residential development as well as undeveloped vegetated dunes. The Goldsmith Inlet and Beach area contains a variety of ecological community types, including tidal pond,maritime beach,maritime dunes,and maritime freshwater interdunal swales. These latter two communities extend from approximately 1.5 miles west of Great Pond southwest to Goldsmith Pond,and are considered rare ecological occurrences statewide by the New York Natural Heritage Program. Approximately 70 acres of maritime dune habitat extends from Great Pond to Goldsmith Inlet,with approximately 22 acres of maritime freshwater interdunal swales located adjacent to the dunes. Small wetlands containing poor fen species such as cranberries(Vaccinium macrocarpon), sundew (Drosera intermedia), twig-rush (Cladium mariscoides), and marsh St. John's-wort (Triadenum virginicum)are also located within the habitat. Slender blue flag(Irisprismatica),a rare plant species with less than 20 remaining sites or individuals in New York State, has been documented within the wetlands of this habitat. FISH AND WILDLIFE VALUES: The Goldsmith Inlet and Beach habitat consists of several associated significant natural ecological communities. This highly diverse area provides important nesting and feeding habitat for a variety of migratory birds. Least tern(T)and piping plover(E,T-Fed)nest along the habitat's beaches. An estimated annual average of breeding pairs of piping plover(E,T-Fed)were observed at Goldsmith Inlet and beach from 1996 to 2002,with a peak of 7 pairs in 1998. Least tern(T)have nested at this site since 1997,with an estimated annual average of 8 nesting pairs from 1997 to 2002,with a peak of 22 pairs in 2000. One pair of common tern (T) was documented nesting on the beach in 2000, but none have been observed since. This species had not been noted since 1992, when 27 nesting pairs were documented. Approximately 40 adult roseate tems (E) were observed loafing near the inlet in 2001. Osprey(SC) historically nested at Goldsmith's Pond. More recently, osprey (SC) have nested at Peconic Dunes County Park,with an average of 1 nesting pair from 1998 to 2003. Page 2 of 6 Recreational uses of Goldsmith Inlet and Beach are concentrated in the area around Goldsmith Inlet and Goldsmith Pond,where blue crab and American eel are harvested recreationally. The Town of Southold maintains a public beach at Goldsmith Inlet,and Goldsmith Inlet County Park includes 34 acres of park land which is home to a diversity of wildlife. Peconic Dunes County Park,on the west shore of Great Pond, south of Kenny Road Beach,provides access across the beach to Long Island Sound for surf fishing. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: Any activity that would substantially degrade water quality and/or terrestrial natural resources at Goldsmith Inlet and Beach would adversely affect the biological productivity of this area. All species of fish and wildlife would be affected by water pollution, such as chemical contamination (including food chain effects resulting from bioaccumulation), oil spills, excessive turbidity, and waste disposal. Efforts should be made to improve water quality in the bay, including reduction or elimination of discharges from vessels and upland sources. Vegetated upland buffer zones should be protected or established to reduce non-point source pollution and sedimentation from upland sources. Alteration of tidal patterns in Goldsmith Inlet Pond,by modification of inlet configurations or other means,would have major impacts on the fish and wildlife communities present. No new navigation channels should be excavated within the area. Dredging to maintain existing boat channels should be scheduled between September 15 and December 15 to minimize potential impacts on aquatic organisms,and to allow for the upland placement of dredged material when wildlife populations are least sensitive to disturbance. This is especially critical during the nesting and fledging period for colonial nesting birds from March 15 through August 15. Dredged material placement in this area would be detrimental, but such activities may be designed to maintain or improve the habitat for certain species of wildlife. Existing and proposed dredging operations in this area should incorporate the use of best management practices to avoid and reduce adverse effects. Construction of shoreline structures, such as docks, piers, bulkheads, or revetments, in areas not previously disturbed by development(e.g.,natural salt marsh,tidal flats,or shallows),would result in the loss of productive areas which support the fish and wildlife resources of the Goldsmith Inlet and Beach habitat. Alternative strategies for the protection of shoreline property should be examined, including innovative, vegetation-based approaches. Control of invasive nuisance plant species, through a variety of means, may improve fish and wildlife species use of the area and enhance overall natural resource values. Unrestricted use of motorized vessels including personal watercraft in shallow waters could have adverse effects on aquatic vegetation and fish and wildlife populations. Use of motorized vessels should be controlled (e.g., no wake zones, speed zones, zones of exclusion) in and adjacent to shallow waters and vegetated wetlands. Thermal discharges, depending on time of year, may have variable effects on use of the area by marine species and fish. Installation and operation of water intakes could have a significant impact on juvenile (and, in some cases, adult) fish concentrations, through impingement or entrainment. Page 3 of 6 Nesting shorebirds inhabiting Goldsmith Inlet and Beach are highly vulnerable to disturbance by humans, especially during the nesting and fledgling period (March 15 through August 15). Significant pedestrian traffic or recreational vehicle use of the beach could easily eliminate the use of this site as a breeding area and should be minimized during this period. Recreational activities (e.g., boat and personal watercraft landing, off-road vehicle use,picnicking) in the vicinity of bird nesting areas should be minimized during this period. Predation of chicks and destruction of eggs or nests by unleashed pets (e.g., dogs, cats) and natural predators may also occur, and predator control should be implemented where feasible. Fencing and/or continued annual posting of shorebird nesting areas should be provided to help protect the nesting bird species. Control of vegetative succession,through beneficial use of dredged material or other means may improve the availability of nesting habitat in this area. HABITAT IMPAIRMENT TEST: A habitat impairment test must be applied to any activity that is subject to consistency review under federal and State laws, or under applicable local laws contained in an approved local waterfront revitalization program. If the proposed action is subject to consistency review,then the habitat protection policy applies, whether the proposed action is to occur within or outside the designated area. The specific habitat impairment test is as follows. In order to protect and preserve a significant habitat, land and water uses or development shall not be undertaken if such actions would: • destroy the habitat; or, • significantly impair the viability of a habitat. Habitat destruction is defined as the loss of fish or wildlife use through direct physical alteration, disturbance, or pollution of a designated area or through the indirect effects of these actions on a designated area. Habitat destruction may be indicated by changes in vegetation, substrate, or hydrology, or increases in runoff, erosion, sedimentation, or pollutants. Significant impairment is defined as reduction in vital resources(e.g.,food,shelter, living space)or change in environmental conditions(e.g.,temperature,substrate,salinity)beyond the tolerance range of an organism. Indicators of significantly impaired habitat focus on ecological alterations and may include but are not limited to reduced carrying capacity,changes in community structure(food chain relationships, species diversity), reduced productivity and/or increased incidence of disease and mortality. The tolerance range of an organism is not defined as the physiological range of conditions beyond which a species will not survive at all, but as the ecological range of conditions that supports the species population or has the potential to support a restored population,where practical. Either the Page 4 of 6 loss of individuals through an increase in emigration or an increase in death rate indicates that the tolerance range of an organism has been exceeded. An abrupt increase in death rate may occur as an environmental factor falls beyond a tolerance limit (a range has both upper and lower limits). Many environmental factors, however, do not have a sharply defined tolerance limit, but produce increasing emigration or death rates with increasing departure from conditions that are optimal for the species. The range of parameters which should be considered in applying the habitat impairment test include but are not limited to the following: 1. physical parameters such as living space, circulation, flushing rates, tidal amplitude, turbidity, water temperature, depth(including loss of littoral zone),morphology, substrate type, vegetation, structure, erosion and sedimentation rates; 2. biological parameters such as community structure, food chain relationships, species diversity, predator/prey relationships, population size, mortality rates, reproductive rates, meristic features,behavioral patterns and migratory patterns; and, 3. chemical parameters such as dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, acidity, dissolved solids, nutrients,organics, salinity, and pollutants(heavy metals, toxics and hazardous materials). Although not comprehensive, examples of generic activities and impacts which could destroy or significantly impair the habitat are listed in the impact assessment section to assist in applying the habitat impairment test to a proposed activity.
