1. See Riparian Management Area Guidebook for definition of wetland.

3. Visual Effective Green-up (VEG) is the stage at which a stand of reforested timber is perceived by the public as a newly established forest. Distinction in height, colour and texture may remain between a cutblock and adjacent forests but the cutblock will no longer be seen as recently cut over.

4. NDT 1: Ecosystems with rare stand-initiating events.
   NDT 2: Ecosystems with infrequent stand-initiating events.
   NDT 3: Ecosystems with frequent stand-initiating events.
   NDT 4: Ecosystems with frequent stand-maintaining events.

   b) Lake Survey Procedures Manual.
   c) Recreation Inventory Standards and Procedures.

6. In the absence of lakeshore inventories, the objective should be not to foreclose on future management options. This may require a higher classification (Class A is recommended) until a full inventory of lakeshore attributes is completed.
