"they're going from the RR2 back to conservation. In the actual conservation district zoning requirements, there is a requirement for the 50-foot buffer if there is an anadromous stream on your property. So there is no need to put anything into a plat note or anything because the actual zone of conservation already has a requirement that needs to be met at time of zoning compliance permit. In the RR-2, there isn't such a requirement."

From the transcript
So it means any kind of stream that salmon would run up the stream is an, an anadromous stream in accordance with the State of Alaska. And the reason why I'm saying it's not an issue with any of these 4 plats is because, first of all, they're going from the RR2 back to conservation. In the actual conservation district zoning requirements, there is a requirement for the 50-foot buffer if there is an anadromous stream on your property. So there is no need to put anything into a plat note or anything because the actual zone of conservation already has a requirement that needs to be met at time of zoning compliance permit. In the RR-2, there isn't such a requirement.
