V. <br />I f <br />h <br />year-round residential. Low intensity recreational uses of <br />these river segments and adjacent lands are common. This class <br />has limited potential for additional development and <br />recreational use due to land suitability and road access <br />constraints. <br />E- Forested river segments are located in forested, <br />sparsely t( oderately populated areas with some roads in the <br />north-centidl part of the state. Predominant land uses include <br />multiple-use forestry, some recreation facilities, seasonal <br />residential, and, within commuting distances of several cities, <br />some year-round residential. Low-intensity recreational uses of <br />these rivers and adjacent lands are common. This class has <br />substantial potential for additional development and <br />recreational use. <br />F. Transition river segments are generally either <br />located within the Minnesota and Mississippi river valleys, or <br />within the middle reaches of several rivers in all regions <br />except the north-central and northeast. Common land uses <br />include forested within riparian strips and mixtures of <br />cultivated, pasture, and forested beyond. Some seasonal and <br />year-round residential development exists, particularly within <br />commuting distance of major cities. The types and intensities <br />of recreational uses within this class vary widely. <br />C. Agricultural river segments are located in <br />well-roaded, intensively cultivated areas of the western and <br />southern regions of the state. Cultivated crops are the <br />predominant land use, with some pasture and occasional feedlots, <br />small municipalities, and small forested areas. Residential <br />development is not common, but some year-round residential use <br />is'Occurring within commuting distances of major cities. Some <br />intensive recreational use occurs on these river segments in <br />particular areas, but overall recreational use of these waters <br />and adjacent lands is low. Although potential exists for <br />additional development and recreation, water quality constraints <br />and competing land uses, particularly agriculture, will inhibit <br />expansions. <br />H. Urban river segments are located within or <br />adjacent to major cities throughout the state. A variety of <br />residential and other urban land uses exists within these <br />segments. Recreational uses of these segments and adjacent <br />lands are common, but vary widely in types and intensities. <br />These segments have potential for additional development, for <br />redevelopment, and cor additional recreational use, although <br />recreational use on some of these segments competes with <br />commercial river traffic. <br />I. Tributary river segments consist of watercourses <br />mapped In the Protected waters Inventory that have not been <br />assigned one of the river classes in items 0 to H. These <br />segments have a wide variety of existing land and recreational <br />A.1,11
