Two reaches were designated based on: Valley form. Riffles (56%) and Scour pools (37%) dominated the habitat in reach 1, while Silt/organics (17%), Sand (42%), and Gravel (38%) were the dominant substrate types. The habitat in reach 2 was dominated by Riffles (55%) and Rapids (25%), while Silt/organics (22%), Sand (32%), and Gravel (45%) dominated the substrate. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length 681 meters. The channel is constrained by steep V-shaped hillslopes in a narrow valley floor. The average valley width index is 1.5. Land use for the reach is large timber. A sub dominant land use of young timber was also observed. The average unit gradient is 2.0%. The channel characteristics include: primary 681m and secondary 64m. Ten pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 14.7 pools per kilometer of primary channel length. There was an average amount of LWD with 18 logs greater or equal to 12m x .6m, which averages to 2.6 key pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 2 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of conifers 30 50 cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with Clear Creek. No ODFW Spawning Survey sign was noted. There is very good spawning gravel throughout much of the first half of the survey, and although the amount of gravel only decreases slightly in the second half of the survey, the majority of the substrate becomes composed of smaller, pea sized gravel of lower quality. In addition, there were a good number of deep, complex pools as well as a good amount of LWD. There is an old timber harvest, which has already been replanted on the left hillslope. Much of the remaining buffer has blown down into the creek. The riparian on the right is very nice with an abundance of large conifers. Due to the narrower valley there were not as many off-channel habitat areas in the second half. A number of nice backwaters were still observed, including a very nice 0.75m deep backwater in which coho fry were observed during the survey at unit 26. Fry were also observed in the margin of unit 25 as well as in a 1.0m deep plunge pool at unit 75 neat the end of reach 1. Not far from the end of the reach is the confluence of the South Fork Green Timber Creek. The South Fork was relatively small, with most of the stream flow coming from the North Fork. Therefore, the South Fork was composed of habitat not suitable for coho use, with an active channel of approximately 1.0m wide. There is poor LWD project potential with a good amount of LWD already observed by the surveyors reducing this reach as a priority for LWD projects. The riparian has good future LWD recruitment as well. So, a planting project is not necessary either. REACH 2: Length 60 meters. The channel is constrained by steep V-shaped hillslopes in a narrow valley floor. The average valley width index is 2.0. Land use for the reach is large timber with a sub dominant land use of second growth timber also noted. The average unit gradient was 2.8%. The stream characteristics include: primary 60m and secondary 34m. Zero pools were greater than 1m deep. There was an good amount of LWD in the stream with five pieces greater than 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 8.3 pieces per 100m of primary channel. Reach 2 began at the confluence of the South Fork with the North Fork Green Timber Creek. Reach 2 is a short reach with a small amount of quality habitat, especially when compared to reach 1 as there were no deep pools. The North Fork was composed primarily of pea-sized gravel, and there was a blown out beaver dam at the beginning not far from the confluence. The survey ended at a tributary junction, which resulted in a further loss of flow. There is poor LWD project potential with a high amount of LWD already observed by the surveyors reducing this reach as a priority for future LWD projects. The riparian has good future LWD recruitment as well. So, a planting project is not necessary either.

The riparian has good future LWD recruitment as well. So, a planting project is not necessary either. \par }} 8 E 0 2.2 6 0474700 E & 5071258 N 2222222=M2232222H 2 6  - 2  -.2  USGS MAPS: Clear CreekH8H8YH88B,,!C!-,2 2  W - 2  -)2  GENERAL DESCRIPTION:H=H=CI<H=8CD8>!HH 2   - 2 u  - 2  ,2 ,QThe Green Timber Creek winter habitat survey begins at its confluence with Clear l=2,H!-,2=N2,!C",,3H2,!2,2,'2!2.03-12',',22!2,3,,H2C,,!A2 [ $Creek and extends 741 meters.
