in the corridor. The negative economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of fully allowing conflicting uses within these sites outweigh the positive consequences. The positive economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of prohibiting conflicting uses within these sites outweigh the negative consequences. However, limiting most conflicting uses would adequately protect the resource while allowing for some uses with minimal impacts to the resource. Therefore, the positive economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of limiting conflicting uses within these sites outweigh the negative. The positive economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of limiting conflicting uses outweigh the positive consequences that would result if all conflicting uses were prohibited. Therefore, limiting conflicting uses is recommended for these sites. (3) South Hills at Owl Road /Fox Hollow (E37J, AMA -13): (a) South Hills at Lower Owl Road (E37 J -1, E37 J -2); South Hills at Donald /Fox Hollow (E37J -5); (b) Owl Road wetland (AMA -13): Limiting conflicting uses recommended. Key resource characteristics for the sites in this stream corridor (E37 J -1, E37 J -2, J -5, AMA -13) indicate that these sites are higher - quality sites. The group has high connectivity and comprises one of the most extensive stream corridors in the South Hills, connecting wildlife habitat at Spencer's Butte and the extensive Ridgeline Trail park system to Amazon Creek almost 2 miles away. Although portions of this corridor have been highly disturbed by logging, grazing and powerline clearing, the corridor still provides a relatively continuous corridor of habitat with predominately native plant species. The steep slopes of the stream and the surrounding area increase the value of the riparian area for protecting downstream areas from erosion and water quality degradation. Wetland AMA -13, as part of this riparian habitat complex, is a medium to higher quality site. Based on these resource characteristics, and the ESEE analysis above, the resource value of these sites is more important to the community at large than the conflicting uses that would occur within these corridors. The negative economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of fully allowing conflicting uses within these sites outweigh the positive consequences. The positive economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of prohibiting conflicting uses within these sites outweigh the negative consequences. However, limiting most conflicting uses would adequately protect the resource while allowing for some uses with minimal impacts to the resource. Therefore, the positive economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of limiting conflicting uses within these sites outweigh the negative. The positive economic, social, environmental and energy consequences of limiting conflicting uses outweigh the positive consequences that would result if all conflicting uses were prohibited. Therefore, limiting conflicting uses is recommended for these sites. (c) South Hills at Fox Hollow ditch (E37 J -4): Fully allowing conflicting uses recommended. This portion of the South Hills complex (E37J -4) is a short, narrow drainage channel with virtually no riparian vegetation. From these resource characteristics, it is evident that this segment is a lower quality site. Based on that, and the ESEE analysis above, fully allowing conflicting uses is recommended for this site. For this lower quality site, the positive consequences of protecting the resource are not great enough to outweigh the negative consequences of prohibiting or limiting conflicting uses. Conflicting uses that would be allowed in this site are more important than its lower resource values. ESEE Analysis Page 13
