(2) The following base information is required prior to applying the LSW criteria:
1. (a) An approved Local Wetlands Inventory (OAR 141-086-0110 through 141-086-0240) covering the plan area; and
2. (b) A function and quality assessment of all inventoried wetlands using the Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology (OFWAM; Oregon Division of State Lands, 1996).
