§ 1135. Stream channel protection.

Protection of stream channels from bank and bed erosion and degradation shall be provided by using all of the following three approaches:

(a)

Preservation, restoration and re-vegetation or re-forestation using native plant species of the applicable stream buffer;

(b)

Twenty-four-hour extended detention storage of the one-year, 24-hour return frequency storm event (this requirement may be adjusted or waived by Jackson County for sites that discharge directly into larger streams, rivers, wetlands, or lakes, or to a man-made channel or conveyance system where the reduction in these flows will not have an impact on upstream or downstream stream bank or channel integrity); and

(c)

Erosion prevention measures, such as energy dissipation and velocity controls.
