interval flood by dikes designed to withstand such floods without 

 erosion. These dikes should not encroach on the low-flow buffer. The 

 purpose of the dikes is to reduce the probability that flow will pass 

 through the active site, thus reducing the potential for introducing 

 high concentrations of fine sediments into flows that are incapable of 

 transporting them to normal dispositional areas.
