"Region 6 Guidance Statement: Actions the Partners for Fish and Wildlife and Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance programs take in streambeds to restore fish and wildlife habitat should support a stream's central tendency to adjust towards the most probable natural state. Proposed actions should be evaluated as to effects on dimension, pattern, and profile, based on the bankfull concept."
