(2) Has a streamway that is relatively unmodified by riprapping and other stream bank protection;
(3) Has water of sufficient quality and quantity to be deemed worthy of protection;
(4) Has a relatively natural setting and adequate open space;
(5) Requires some coordinated plan of management in order to enhance and preserve the river area; and
(6) Has some lands along its length already in public ownership, or the possibility for purchase or dedication of public access and/or scenic easements.
