  2. Functional Rating • ID Team’s determination/discussion • For an area to be PFC means it provides the elements contained in the definition to dissipate energy, filter sediment, aid floodplain development, improve recharge, etc.

  3. Functional Rating continued • If all the items on the checklist are answered yes, obviously it is PFC. • If there are some no answers the ID team must determine if any of these answers make the area susceptible to degradation from energy events.

  4. Functional Ratingcontinued • If the no answers can result in degradation the area is rated something less than PFC.

  5. Functional Ratingcontinued • Functional-at-risk areas will possess some or even most of the elements in the definition but have at least one attribute/process that gives it a high probability of degradation with energy events. • Trend (in relation to physical function) must be determined when a rating of functional-at-risk is given.

  6. Functional Rating continued • Nonfunctional areas clearly lack the elements listed in PFC. Usually these areas have a preponderance of no answers.

  7. Functional Rating continued • Factors contributing to unacceptable conditions outside management’s control (back of form)
