The plan includes, in part, for each reservoir Shoreline Use Classification Mapping, Shallow Water Fish Habitat Survey Results, a Cultural Resources Assessment, a Recreational Use and Boating Capacity Assessment, Proposed Recreational Enhancements, and information concerning woody debris management, riparian management, terrestrial species assessment, and cumulative impacts of shoreline development, and shoreline stabilization technique selection.
