(e) The applicant demonstrates that restoration or habitat enhancement activities within the remaining conservation area will result in a net increase in overall natural functions and values proportional to the requested adjustment, and will specifically result in a net increase in two or more of the following functions and values of the conservation area as applicable to the site: 1. For streams and wetlands within stream channels: a. Effective shade of stream channel during peak solar input; b. Species diversity, structural diversity, density, and percent cover of native riparian vegetation; c. Bank stability due to native riparian plant roots; d. Absence of non-native invasive plant species; e. Effective filtering of overland stormwater flow to the stream; f.

Species diversity, density, and coverage of native vegetation within the wetland and setback area; b. Bank stability due to native plant roots; c. Absence of non-native invasive plant species; d. Effective filtering of overland stormwater flow to the wetland; e. Presence of soils and hydrology appropriate to the site and appropriate to support native plants; f. Habitat characteristics required by any state or federally listed threatened or endangered species that have been documented on the site. For purposes of this subsection, the demonstration of the increase in functions and values shall be based upon a comparison between the functions and values of the /WR conservation area as it existed on the date of application for an adjustment under this subsection and the functions and values of the proposed reduced /WR conservation area with proposed enhancements and restoration.
