Per SC3.1, "Stream-Jungle Debris (stream-JD) is treated as JD (SSR SC2) except as stated otherwise [EXC: for the purposes of E1.531, it is treated as a stream]." E1.531 is Straying at night. Is it correct then that stream-JD is _not_ subject to the stream rules? In particular is fire from a stream-JD hex not halved as Area Fire [B20.6]? Can weapons besides Inherent, LATW, inherent SW, DC, LMG and FT fire from stream-JD [B20.6]? Is a stream-JD hex not a Depression [B20.2]?​
Not to all. Units in Stream-Jungle Debris are always IN the stream (SC3.2).
In Suicide Creek stream-JD and non-ford stream hexes are never part of a setup area [SC4.2]. Would a non-strategic location still be considered within two hexes of a strategic location for purposes of determining no-man's land if the only path from the non-strategic location to the strategic location were over the stream? For example assume all strategic locations north of the stream are American-controlled while all the ones south and in the stream are Japanese-controlled, and there are no strategic locations other than those printed on the map. Is hex E13 no-man's land because it is within two hexes of both American-controlled D11 and Japanese-controlled E14? Does the stream "block" the "zone of control" for D11?​

Yes. Yes. No.
Per SC3.1 Stream-Jungle Debris is treated as Jungle Debris. Per SC4.2, Jungle Debris is a strategic location. Is Stream-Jungle Debris a strategic location?​

Yes.
