Section Env-Wt 514.01 - Purpose The purpose of this part is to establish requirements that apply to all types of bank and shoreline stabilization projects, to maintain or restore healthy and vegetated bank and shoreline system functions that will:
(a) Hold soils together, stabilize banks and shorelines, and provide structural erosion control;(b) Establish stable and sustainable ecosystems to provide high biological diversity and complexity to support fish and wildlife habitats;(c) Ensure runoff filtering and effective sediment-trapping functions, so that sediments settle out before nutrients and pollutants are carried into surface waters; and(d) Provide flood abatement functions by trapping sediment during floods and slowing velocity of floodwaters.N.H.
