One reach was designated based on: Valley form. Dammed and backwater pools (27%), Scour pools (24%), and Riffles (45%) dominated the habitat, while Sand (25%) and Gravel (63%) were the dominant substrate types. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length 904 meters. The channel is constrained by hillslopes alternating with terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 3.3. Land use for the reach is second growth timber, with a sub dominant land use of young timber also observed. The average unit gradient is 0.9%. The channel characteristics include: primary 904m and secondary 32m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There was an average amount of LWD with ten logs greater or equal to 12m x .6m, which averages to 1.1 key 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 conifers and deciduous ranging from 15 - 30 cm dbh, with smaller mixed trees 3 15 cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with South Prong Clear Creek and still appears to be on Longview Fibre property. The stream consists of a good amount of spawning gravel. Coho fry were readily observed. About halfway through the survey, there is an old road crossing. Above the crossing, there was a large amount of LWD on the terraces and hillslopes, but out of the stream. Devils club was readily observed throughout the survey and several elk crossings. The survey ended at a tributary junction on the right above a large beaver dam. Below the end point, there was another large beaver dam, but was blown out, and now was just a riffle with some braided channels above it. Tributary A consisted of better gravel thatn on South Prong Clear Creek above the tributary junction. There is good LWD project potential with good access for the first half as the logging rd follows the stream. A future restoration project could incorporate several surrounding reaches including this unnamed tributary. The riparian is a good mix of conifers and deciduous trees. Most are medium sized, but with time should contribute future LWD. So, a planting project is not necessary.
