THE CONDITION OF BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE MEASURED BY USE OF METRICES SUGGESTED IN GUIDANCE SUCH AS RAPID BIOASSESSMENT PROTOCOLS FOR USE IN STREAMS AND RIVERS (EPA/444/4-89-001) OR OTHER SCIENTIFICALLY DEFENSIBLE METHODS. EFFECTS TO BIOLOGICAL POPULATIONS WILL BE MEASURED BY COMPARISONS TO UPSTREAM CONDITIONS OR TO APPROPRIATELY SELECTED REFERENCE SITES IN THE SAME ECOREGION (SEE DEFINITION).
