"Ephemeral stream" is any trickle of water located anywhere snow is melting and flowing downhill. The proposed language states that human activity is not allowed within 150 feet of an ephemeral stream.

The gutter on the eve of the cabin is technically an ephemeral stream. Sigh.

A dairy farmer in Merced County tried to make some money from one of his frequently flooded dairy pastures about 5-10 years ago, by making it into a duck pond during the rainy season, and renting access to hunters.

But, when he tried to level it afterwards to return it to pasture, the feds told him the whole place was now a federally protected wetland. And couldn't be used as a pasture even when bone-dry.

We have ephemeral streams here in North Carolina, too.
