General Mitiqation Requirements. Mitioation for alteration or impacts to fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas shall achieve equivalent or oreater biological functions and shall include mitiqation for adverse impacts upstream and downstream of the development proiect site. Mitigation shall address each functional attribute affected bv the alteration to achieve functional equivalencv or improvement on a per function basis. Mitiqation elements mav include. but are not limited to: restoration of previouslv deqraded areas and kev habitat features: restoration of riparian veqetation communities to provide shade and larqe woodv debris: addition of larqe woodv debris: and installation of upland habitat features.2. Buffer for aquatic habitat conservation mitiqation sites. AnV aquatic fish and wildlife habitat conservation area that is created. restored. or enhanced as compensation for aooroved alterations shall be assiqned the same buffer as would be required for the cateoory of the oriqinal aquatic fish and wildlife habitat conservation area. 3. Tvpe of mitisation required. ln determininq the extent and tvpe of mitiqation reouired. the Director mav consider allthe followinq: a. The ecoloqical processes that affect and influence habitat structure and function within the watershed or sub-basin: b. The individual and cumulative effects of the action upon the functions of the critical area and associated watershed:c. Observed or predicted trends reqarding the qains or losses of specific habitats or species in the watershed. in liqht of aqqregated natural and human processes: d. The likely success of the oroposed mitiqation measures:e. Effects of the mitiqation actions on neiqhborinq properties: and 44
