7 10.56 Land Under Water Bodies & Waterways PREAMBLE. Protect fisheries Fill Impacts water temperature, decrease in habitat = detrimental to Fisheries Survival of cold water species: brook trout, rainbow trout, salmon Physical bottom structure = escape, cover, resting habitat, foraging habitat Water quality PRESUMPTION. Project involves removing, filling, dredging or altering, issuing conditions as are necessary to protect authority shall presume significant rebuttable, clear showing GENERAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. When presumption not overcome, any proposed work within LUWW shall not impair: Water carrying capacity; If found to be significant to interest, the issuing authority shall impose such Ground/surface water quality; such interest Capacity of LUWW as breeding habitat, escape, cover and food for fisheries; and Capacity to provide important wildlife functions. Lesser of 10% or 5000 sf no impair.
8 Riverfront Area (310 CMR 10.58(4)) No Significant Adverse Impact.
