Management Category Description

The two extremes in biological integrity, habitat condition and land use translated into wide variations in the management category recommendations. Both Dead and Scotts Runs are currently classified as Watershed Restoration Areas Level II. Many opportunities for small-scale, localized improvements exist, and efforts should focus on minimizing, as much as possible, future degradation to instream habitat in the mainstream environments. Although the two other watersheds are classified entirely as Watershed Protection Areas, regular monitoring within both should continue.
