<br /> However, participation in the SJMSCP does not satisfy the requirements of the USACE,
<br /> RWQCB, CDFW pertaining to impacts to surrounding waterways, wetlands, creeks, channels •
<br /> and streambed alteration;permits for these impacts must be obtained separately. Similarly, •
<br /> participation in the SJMSCP does not address potentially significant impacts to non-covered •
<br /> species. Covered versus non-covered species potentially affected by project implementation are
<br /> summarized in Table IV.F.1. •

<br /> In most cases, projects participating in the SJMSCP experience can streamline the process of •
<br /> complying with endangered species laws and reduce the cost of mitigating compared with the •
<br /> undertaking of separate negotiations with each regulatory agency. Participation in the SJMSCP
<br /> does not,however, satisfy the requirements of the USACE, RWQCB or CDFW pertaining to •
<br /> impacts to stream courses or wetlands;permits for these impacts must be obtained separately, •
<br /> as discussed below. •
<br /> Forward applied for the consolidated landfill to be included under the provisions of the •
<br /> SJMSCP. Forward's application was approved by the Technical Advisory Committee of the San •
<br /> Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) on April 10, 2002, and by the SJCOG's Board on April •
<br /> 25, 2002. Therefore, provisions of the SJMSCP apply to future landfill development at the site. •

<br /> Habitats potentially falling under the regulatory jurisdiction of CDFW are described in the •
<br /> CFGC30. Absent a "Lake and Streambed Alteration agreement," as amended in 2003, CFGC •
<br /> Section 1602 provides that"[a]n entity may not substantially divert or obstruct the natural flow
<br /> of, or substantially change or use any material from the bed, channel, or bank of, any river,
<br /> stream, or lake, or deposit or dispose of debris, waste,or other material containing crumbled, •
<br /> flaked, or ground pavement where it may pass into any river, stream, or lake[.]" The CDFW •
<br /> has traditionally taken a broad view of its jurisdiction under this statute and its predecessors,
<br /> asserting that the definition of"stream," as used in this context, includes "intermittent and •
<br /> ephemeral streams, rivers, creeks, dry washes, sloughs,blue-line streams, and watercourses •
<br /> with subsurface flows. Canals, aqueducts, irrigation ditches, and other means of water •
<br /> conveyance can also be considered streams if they support aquatic life, riparian vegetation, or •
