Two reaches were designated based on: Valley form. In reach 1 Riffles (41%) and Rapids (51%) dominated the habitat, while Cobble (30%) were the dominant substrate types. Rapids (31%) and Cascades (51%) dominated the habitat in reach 2, while Gravel (38%), Cobble (37%), and Boulders (15%) were the dominant substrate types. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length Ц 297 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 5.5. Land use for the reach is large timber. The average unit gradient is 3.5%. The channel characteristics include: primary 297m and secondary 51m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There were two key pieces of LWD, which averages to 0.7 pieces per 100m of primary channel. The vegetation is based on 2 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of conifers and deciduous ranging from 30 - 50 cm dbh, with some smaller deciduous 3 - 15 cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with Lousignont Creek. There was no ODFW Spawning Survey sign observed. Not far upstream, there was a small tributary on the right that had good alcove development potential. A large amount of vinemaple was in the riparian above the tributary, but nice conifers were above on the left hillslope. There were some nice pockets of good spawning gravel in this reach, but also areas of poor complexity. Overall, there was a lack of pools with the majority of them being a result of a number of step over logs. There was one secondary channel observed in this reach, but it also lacked pools. The reach ended at a reduction in VWI. There is good LWD project potential, but poor access for industrial equipment. If alternative access could be found a future project would really help this small unnamed tributary. There is a good mix of conifers in the riparian. So, a planting project is not necessary. REACH 2: Length Ц 282 meters. The channel is constrained by hillslopes in a steep v-shaped valley. The average valley width index is 1.5. Land use for the reach is large timber. The average unit gradient was 0.5%. The channel characteristics include: primary 376m and secondary 0m. Two pools were greater than 1.0m deep, which averages to 5.3 deep pools per kilometer of primary channel length. There were five key pieces of LWD, which averages to 1.3 pieces per 100m of primary channel. The vegetation is based on 1 riparian transect. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of conifers and deciduous ranging from 30 - 50 cm dbh, with some conifers 30 - 50 cm dbh. Reach 2 begins as the VWI became less than two as the hillslopes begin to pinch in on the creek and the gradient begins to increase. The reach began at a cascade over boulders, which contains a large debris jam from a recent landslide on the left hillslope. Devils club becomes readily observed in this reach. This reach consisted of mostly high gradient units, although there were short riffles that did contain spawnable gravel. The riparian was very nice on both hillslopes, with some large sized conifers present. The survey ended at an old road crossing, where the culvert had been removed, with a marked increase in gradient and lack of spawnable habitat. Rapids and cascades continued above the end point. There is poor LWD project potential with poor access for industrial equipment. The narrow valley reduces the opportunities for a future project in reach 2. There is a good mix of medium and large conifers in the riparian. So, a planting project is not necessary.
