Each measurement was scored using the MHFD USAP scoring methodology which is based on the ratio of channel type (n) and channel width (W) to riparian vegetation extents. The Riparian Width Lines illustrates the limits of riparian vegetation as measured along the South Platte River and contains the average scoring for each line (0-5), with 0 representing no need for improvement. </SPAN></P></DIV><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
