Moderate Risk/Consequence

For reaches or sub-watersheds that received the overall rating of moderate risk, recommendations are generally to proceed to specific mitigation and design changes in management practices that relate specifically to the activities or conditions that caused the risk rating and the processes affected (Step 25). This assessment allows the user to appropriately design measures that offset adverse consequences of specific land use practices/conditions. The resultant measures can be recommendations for stabilization, enhancement, resolution of conditions causing impairment, and/or restoration. Monitoring should be conducted to ensure that stream processes and/or land treatment are responding to mitigation measures implemented.
