Summary
Urban
streams
can
be
tremendous
assets
. They are an
integral
part
of the
environment
,
economy
, and
community
through
which
they
flow
.
Healthy
streams
support
vital
functions
of the
aquatic
environment
like
providing
fish
habitat
and
flood
control
. Their
presence
bolsters
adjacent
property
values
and
allows
recreational
opportunities
such
as
fishing
and
swimming
.
Beyond
their
banks
,
stream
health
is
interconnected
with
disease
control
,
greenway
services
and the
state
of the
near-shore
marine
environment
.
Degradation
of
urban
streams
can
interfere
with the
vital
functions
of
streams
and
can
minimize
or
curtail
recreational
activities
.
Habitat
may
no
longer
support
viable
fish
populations
,
flooding
may
threaten
homes
and
businesses
, and
bacteria
and
other
pollutants
may
render
streams
unfit
for
swimming
and
other
recreational
activities
.
Streams
are
degraded
when
land
disturbing
activities
such
as
constructing
roads
,
parking
lots
, and
residential
,
commercial
, and
industrial
buildings
occur
. The
end
result
can
be
impaired
or
lost
habitat
,
loss
of
natural
flood
control
mechanisms
,
stream
corridors
that are
no
longer
aesthetically
pleasing
, and
loss
of
recreation
areas
. The
City
of
Bellingham
recognizes
that
urban
activities
impact
streams
and
is
working
to
understand
and
minimize
these
impacts
through
a
variety
of
programs
and
projects
.
Among
the
various
programs
and
projects
are
stream
restoration
,
stream
hydrology
,
stormwater
treatment
, and
water
quality
monitoring
programs
as
well
as
public
education
and
ordinances
that
protect
critical
areas
.
