Three reaches were designated based on: Valley width and Channel morphology. Dammed & backwater pools (19%), riffles (47%), and rapids (17%) dominated the habitat, while sand (21%), gravel (39%), and cobble (20%) were the dominant substrate types. The survey begins at the confluence of South Fork Rock Creek and heads up the mainstem. The stream runs through industrial timberland. The first reach is below Highway 26 and ends immediately above the culvert crossing. The survey ends due to a lack of flow and gradient. This stream was also surveyed by ODFW in the summer of 2002. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length Ц 1,100 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 8.7. Land use for the reach is second growth timber, with a subdominant land use of greenway. The average unit gradient is 1.7%. The channel characteristics include: primary 1,100m and secondary 98m. Six pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 5.0 deep pools per 1 km. There was a very small amount of LWD with one log greater or equal to 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 0.1 key pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on one riparian transect. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of deciduous ranging from 3 Ц 15 cm dbh, with some conifers 15 Ц 50 cm dbh. This survey begins in an industrial timber area. There is great off channel habitat within this reach. The riparian shade through this section of the stream is average. Bedrock is present in a few areas of this reach but overall spawning gravels are excellent. Scotch broom is also present within this reach. The reach ends at a tributary just above a culvert that is under Highway 26. The culvert does not appear to be a barrier to fish passage but is a bit swift. There is excellent LWD project potential with fair access for industrial equipment. The reach lacks in-stream LWD with only one key piece of wood observed throughout the entire reach. Additionally, there are few pools in the reach but most could be better. The reach is characterized by gravel and sand dominating the substrate. The riparian area has average riparian shade throughout the entire reach creating excellent riparian enhancement project potential. Further planning would be beneficial for a successful project in Rock Creek. REACH 2: Length Ц 2,750 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 5.8. Land use for the reach is mature timber. The average unit gradient is 1.8%. The channel characteristics include: primary 2,750m and secondary 153m. Nineteen pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 6.5 deep pools per 1 km. There was a low amount of LWD with seven logs greater or equal to 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 0.3 key pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 5 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of conifers ranging from 15 Ц 30 cm dbh, with some deciduous 3 Ц 15 cm dbh. This reach is beaver dominated. Some of the dams are blown. Gravel (40%), sand (22%), and cobble (19%) are the dominant substrates. The riparian shade in this reach is average. The second unit in this reach has a large debris weir protecting the culvert. When debris is against the weir a dammed pool is formed however, the debris had recently been cut out and no pool was present at the time of the survey. There is excellent LWD project potential with good access for industrial equipment. The stream lacks in-stream LWD with only seven key pieces of wood observed throughout the entire reach. The riparian area has average riparian shade throughout the entire reach creating excellent riparian enhancement project potential. The riparian is open and characterized by logged stumps and needs planting. Further planning would be beneficial for a successful project in Rock Creek. REACH 3: Length Ц 442 meters. The channel is constrained by moderate hillslopes in a narrow valley. The average valley width index is 2.3. Land use for the reach is mature timber. The average unit gradient is 5.0%. The channel characteristics include: primary 442m and secondary 79m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There was a low amount of LWD with two logs greater or equal to 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 0.5 key pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on one riparian transect. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of conifers ranging from 50 Ц 90 cm dbh, with some conifers 3 Ц 15 cm dbh. This reach loses flow to numerous seeps and increases in gradient. Gravel (38%) and cobble (26%) are the dominant substrates. The riparian shade in this reach is excellent. The few small pools in this reach have good cover. There is good LWD project potential within this reach with poor access for industrial equipment. The stream lacks in-stream LWD with only two key pieces of wood observed throughout the entire reach. Further project would be beneficial for a successful project in Rock Creek.
