Forest Service Instream Flow Needs 



The U.S. Forest Service has the authority and respon- 

 sibility to regulate occupancy and use of national forest 

 lands, to prevent environmental degradation, and to protect 

 national forest resources. When a project is proposed in a 

 national forest that requires the use of water, instream flow 

 needs are made a condition of occupancy and use of national 

 forest land. To be approved by the U.S. Forest Service, all 

 construction projects in the national forest must provide for 

 achieving and/or maintaining the stability of channel systems 

 (16 use 551) . Also, projects must minimize damage to scenic 

 and aesthetic values and fish and wildlife habitat and 

 otherwise protect the environment.
