direct tributary means a portion of a tributary stream that: is a minimum of 100m in length, and has the same stream order as the most downstream reach of the tributary.
direct tributary. (to fish streams) means a channel that has the ability to transport harmful levels of fine and coarse sediment to downstream fish-bearing waters as a result of stream power and physical connection. This definition differs from the Fish Stream Identification Guidebook which is based primarily on stream order, however using stream order may be inadequate to identify important upstream reaches that are capable of affecting downstream fish habitat.
