Two reaches were designated based on: Valley form. Scour Pools (35%) and Riffles (62%) dominated the habitat in reach 1, while Sand (36%) and Gravel (49%) were the dominant substrate types. The habitat in reach 2 was dominated by Riffles (20%) and Dammed and backwater pools (61%), while Silt/organics (17%), Sand (29%), and Gravel (45%) dominated the substrate. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length Ц 826 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 3.1. Land use for the reach is large timber. A sub dominant land use of second growth timber was also noted. The average unit gradient is 1.1%. The channel characteristics include: primary 826m and secondary 27m. Two pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages 2.4 pools per kilometer of primary channel length. There was an average amount of LWD with 15 logs greater or equal to 12m x .6m, which averages to 1.8 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 and deciduous ranging from 30 - 50 cm dbh, with some smaller mixed conifers and deciduous 15 - 30 cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with Clear Creek, on Longview Fibre land. No ODFW Spawning Survey sign was noted. The stream consists of good, pea-sized spawning gravel, as well as a good number of pools. There were a number of elk crossings. Large amounts of coho fry were observed throughout the reach. More than halfway through the reach, the stream passes through a culvert crossing under a Longview Fibre logging road, above which the logging road parallels the creek on the left hillslope. Reach 1 ends at the confluence with Tributary A. There is good LWD project potential with good access for industrial equipment as a logging road follows the stream. There is a lack of off-channel habitat throughout the reach. The riparian has a good mix of conifers and alders. So, a planting project is not necessary. REACH 2: Length Ц 670 meters. The channel was constrained by moderate V-shaped hillslopes in a narrow valley floor. The average valley width index is 2.2. Land use for the reach is large timber. A sub dominant land use of young timber was also noted. The average unit gradient is 1.9%. The channel characteristics include: primary 670m and secondary 97m. One pool was greater than 1m deep, which averages to 1.5 pools per kilometer of primary channel length. There was a small amount of LWD in the stream with six pieces greater than 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 0.9 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 mixed conifers and deciduous 3 - 15 cm dbh. Reach 2 begins at Tributary A, above which the quality of gravel diminishes. Elk crossings are still abundant throughout the reach, and the logging road continues to follow the creek on the left for the remainder of the survey. Beaver activity becomes prevalent in the middle of the reach. There is one large, old blown out beaver dam, which has resulted in some braided secondary channels. Much of the substrate consists of hardpan clay, although some pockets of gravel were observed above the beaver pools. A number of the beaver dams were partially or completely blown out. DevilТs club is prevalent in the last half of the survey. The survey ended at a 70/30 split, as the habitat begins to become marginal above this point. Coho fry were not observed in the last 100m. There is good LWD project potential with good access for industrial equipment as a logging road follows the stream. There is a lack of off-channel habitat throughout the reach. The valley width narrows slightly in this reach and may reduce opportunities. The riparian has a good mix of conifers and alders. So, a planting project is not necessary.

The channel was constrained by moderate V-shaped hillslopes in a narrow valley floor. The average valley width index is 2.2. Land use for the reach is large timber. A sub dominant land use of young timber was also noted. The average unit gradient is 1.9%. The channel characteristics include: primary 670m and secondary 97m. One pool was greater than 1m deep, which averages to 1.5 pools per kilometer of primary channel length. There was a small amount of LWD in the str e am with six pieces greater than 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 0.9 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 mixed conifers and deciduous 3 - 15 cm dbh. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid8127878 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid8127878 Reach 2 begins at Tributary A, above which the quality of gravel diminishes. Elk crossings are still abundant throughout the reach, and the logging road continues to follow the creek on the left for the remainder of the survey. Beaver activity becomes prevalent in the middle of the reach. There is one large, old blown out beaver dam, which has resulted in some braided secondary channels. Much of the substrate co nsists of hardpan clay, although some pockets of gravel were observed above the beaver pools. A number of the beaver dams were partially or completely blown out. Devil\rquote s club is prevalent in the last half of the survey. The survey ended at a 70/30 split, as the habitat begins to become marginal above this point.
