One reach was designated based on: Valley form. In the reach Riffles (54%), Rapids (24%), and Scour pools (16%) dominated the habitat, while Sand (17%), Gravel (32%), Cobble (22%), and Bedrock (25%) were the dominant substrate types. The survey begins at the confluence with the Nehalem River across from Reeher Park (ODF-Tillamook). An ODFW Spawning Survey sign was noted. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length Ц 770 meters. The channel is constrained by moderate hillslopes in a narrow valley. The average valley width index is 1.5. Land use for the reach is second growth timber. The average unit gradient is 2.5%. The channel characteristics include: primary 770m and secondary 32m. Three pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 3.9 pools per kilometer of primary stream channel. There were ten key pieces of LWD, which averages to 1.3 pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 2 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly conifers ranging from 3 Ц 15 cm dbh, with some conifers 30 Ц 50 cm dbh. Deciduous 15-30 cm dbh were also present. This survey begins at the confluence with the Nehalem River at a bedrock step (0.6m high) that may be a low flow barrier to migrating salmon. There are many steps that are associated with various debris jams, plunge pools, and dammed pools. Most of the riffles have good spawning gravel, but the second half of the reach is dominated by cobble. The numerous debris jams may also pose to be low flow barriers. The survey ends at a 50/50 split. There is poor LWD project potential with poor access for industrial equipment. The overall moderate gradient and narrow valley width reduced the quality of the habitat throughout the survey. There is a good mix of conifers throughout both sides. So, a planting project is not necessary.

The overall moderate gradient and narrow valley width reduced the quality of the habitat throughout the survey. There is a good mix of conifers throughout both si des. So, a planting project is not necessary. }}у C,2 ▄░уEnd =22 2 ▄jуЦC22 ▄Ьу 0472222 ▄Kу396222222 ▄у N & 501HM222 ▄Wу59952222222 ▄Q у E 5= 2 ▄└ у C- 2 Oу C-&2 ┬уUSGS MAPS:        И;lX┤ ZС  Ё.√╝"System8$rэ╞0°E -√Ь Р@Times New Roman-  2 Zу -- 2 ▀у , 2 ▀,у , 2 ▀Xу ,√Л ╝@Times New Roman-J2 ▀Д*уUpper Nehalem Watershed Habitat AssessmentTAA44T4A:!4`u;'44.A3A[;@!&;'T--4..`4A' 2 ▀╔ у > 2 eу , 2 e,у , 2 eXу , 2 eДу , 2 e░у ,2 e▄ уStream ReportA'44;`T4A;4' 2 e├у > 2 ыу ?-(2 _уSTREAM: Step Creek 8=C=HY8,2C!,,2 2 _Эу  2 _░у - 2 ╥у -82 EуSUBBASIN: Upper Nehalem River8HBBH9 HH22,!H,3,,NC2,! 2 Eпу . 2 ╕у -22 +уDATES: February 17, 2006HH==87,2!3,#0223222 2 +Йу - 2 Юу -L2 +уSURVEY CREW: Todd Boswell, Mark McLaughlink8HCH=HCC=_=221B2'H,Y,!2Z-<,3222 2 ^у - 2 Ду -;2 ў уREPORT PREPARED BY: Ben WalczakC=8HC=8C<8HC=HBHB,2_,,-,2 2 ўау . 2 jу -/2 ▌уGENE CONSERVATION GROUP:H=H=CHH8=CHH> IHHCHH8 2 ▌╡у ' 2 ▌▄у12 2 ▌у-! 2 ▌/уNH 2 ▌wуCC 2 ▌║у - 2 Pу -#2 ├уUTM COORDINATES:H=YCHHCI HH==8 2 ├╒у █2 ├░уStart 8,! 2 ├ЖуЦ2.2 ├╕у 0474166 E & 5061126 N :2222222=M2232222H 2 ├▌ у - 2 6у , 2 6,у , 2 6Xу , 2 6Ду ,2 6░уEnd =22 2 6jуЦ2.2 6Ьу 0473962 E & 5059952 N :2222222=M2232222H 2 6┴ у - 2 йу -&2  уUSGS MAPS: TimberH8H8YH88=N2,! 2  Юу , 2 П у -)2  уGENERAL DESCRIPTION:H=H=CI<H=8CD8>!HH 2  Су - 2 u у - 2 ш у ,В2 ш ,OуThe Step Creek winter habitat survey begins at its confluence with the Nehalem =2,8,2C!,,2H2-!2-2,'2!2-03-12',',22!2,2-,H22,H,3,,NU2 [ 1уRiver and extends 770 meters.
