Guide to the Streamside Management Zone Law and Rules
Implementation of the Streamside Management Zone (SMZ) law and rules protects and maintains the functions of a SMZ. The six functions of a SMZ, as identified in the SMZ law (77-5-301[1] MCA), are: 1. Acts as an effective sediment filter to maintain water quality, 2. Provides shade to regulate stream temperature, 3. Supports diverse and productive aquatic and terrestrial riparian habitats, 4. Protects the stream channel and banks, 5. Provides large, woody debris that is eventually recruited into a stream to maintain riffles, pools, and other elements of channel structure, 6. Promotes floodplain stability.
