Three reaches were designated based on: Valley width and Channel morphology. Dammed & backwater pools (50%), riffles (22%), and rapids (15%) dominated the habitat, while silt/organics (33%), sand (19%), and gravel (31%) were the dominant substrate types. The survey begins at the confluence of Rock Creek. The stream runs industrial timberland. The stream starts out fairly steep and then moves into a reach that is dominated by beaver activity. The survey ends due to a lack of flow. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length 416 meters. The channel is constrained by moderate hillslopes in a narrow valley. The average valley width index is 1.4. Land use for the reach is second growth timber, with a subdominant land use of young timber. The average unit gradient is 4.0%. The channel characteristics include: primary 416m and secondary 92m. One pool was greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 2.0 deep pools per 1 km. There was a small amount of LWD with six logs greater or equal to 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 1.4 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 30 50 cm dbh, with some deciduous 15 30 cm dbh. This survey begins in an industrial timber area. There are numerous steps but none are barriers. There is excellent riparian shade through this section of the stream. There is good LWD project potential with access for industrial equipment. The reach lacks in-stream LWD with only six key pieces of wood observed throughout the entire reach. Additionally, there are few pools in the reach but most pools have good cover. The reach is characterized by gravel dominating the substrate. Further planning would be beneficial for a successful project in Olson Creek. REACH 2: Length 849 meters. The channel is constrained by hillslopes alternating with terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 3.9. Land use for the reach is second growth timber. The average unit gradient is 2.8%. The channel characteristics include: primary 849m and secondary 390m. Five pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 4.0 deep pools per 1 km. There was an average amount of LWD with twenty-one logs greater or equal to 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 2.5 key pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 3 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly mixed sizes of deciduous ranging from 15 50 cm dbh, with some conifers 30 50 cm dbh. This reach is beaver dominated. Some of the dams are blown and are scoured down to excellent gravels. Gravel (35%), silt/organics (31%), and sand (23%) are the dominant substrates. No LWD projects are recommended in this reach due to poor access and a fair amount of LWD recorded by the surveyors. The riparian shade in this reach is in excellent condition. So, a planting project is not necessary. REACH 3: Length 314 meters. The channel is constrained by moderate hillslopes in a narrow valley. The average valley width index is 1.7. Land use for the reach is second growth timber. The average unit gradient is 2.8%. The channel characteristics include: primary 314m and secondary 77m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There was an average amount of LWD with ten logs greater or equal to 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 3.2 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 15 30 cm dbh, with some conifers 15 50 cm dbh. This reach is beaver dominated. Silt/organics (81%) are the dominant substrate. No LWD projects are recommended in this reach due to poor access and a fair amount of LWD recorded by the surveyors. The riparian shade in this reach is in excellent condition. So, a planting project is not necessary. The survey ended when fish were no longer visible in the beaver ponds.
