Restoration shall be focused on promoting tree establishment along the active channel and on streambanks for the purposes of bank stabilization, bank development, and live wood complexity. The Director of Fish and Game shall approve a coho salmon habitat enhancement project if the project will maintain existing levels of human health and safety protection, including, but not limited to, flood protection, and meets specified requirements on fish passage guidelines and coho salmon recovery plans, size, duration etc. Also, the project will not result in cumulative negative environmental impacts that are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past, current, or probable future projects.
