Water tempera- tures are not expected to become limiting in any reach of the stream. Invertebrate life forms should be varied and abundant. Water quality and quantity should be excellent for fishing and floating canoes, rafts, and larger boats, and general recreation. Stream esthetics and natural beauty will be excellent to outstanding. "Thirty percent of the average flow (70 percent depletion) is a base low recommended to sustain good survival habitat for most aquatic life forms. Widths, depths, and velocities will generally be satisfactory The majority of the substrate will be covered with water, except for very wide, shallow riffle or shoal areas. Most side channels will carry some water. Most gravel bars will be partially covered with water and many islands will provide wildlife nesting, denning, nursery, and refuge habitat. Streambanks will provide cover for fish and wildlife denning habitat. Many runs and most pools will be deep enough to serve as cover for fishes. Riparian vegetation will not suffer from lack of water. Large fish can move over riffle areas. Water temperatures are not expected to become limiting in most stream segments. Inverte- brate life is reduced but not expected to become a limiting factor in fish production. Water quality and quantity should be good for fishing, floating, and general recreation, especially with canoes, rubber rafts, and smaller shallow draft boats. Stream esthetics and natural beauty will generally be satisfactory. "Ten percent of the average flow (90 percent deple- tion) is a minimum instantaneous flow recommended to sustain short-term survival habitat for most aqu
