One reach was designated based on: Valley form. In the reach Riffles (37%) and Dammed/backwater pools (54%) dominated the habitat, while Silt/organics (16%), Sand (44%), and Gravel (37%) were the dominant substrate types. The survey begins at the confluence with the Nehalem River. An ODFW Spawning Survey sign was not noted at the start. Some nice gravel was observed, but a lack of off-channel habitat. The survey ends at a 65/35 tributary split. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length – 405 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 1.4. Land use for the reach is young timber. A sub dominant land use of rural residential was also observed. The average unit gradient is 1.4%. The channel characteristics include: primary 405m and secondary 20m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There was one key piece of LWD, which averages to 0.2 pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 2 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly deciduous ranging from 30-50 cm dbh, with some conifers 3 – 15 cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with the Nehalem River, and then passes through a culvert under Highway 47. On the upstream side of the culvert there is a debris weir that poses as an artificial barrier, with a 0.95m high step. Trout were observed above the structure, but no coho. There are some nice pockets of spawning gravel above the artificial barrier, but some units are scoured to bedrock. Approximately 250m above the culvert there is an unscreened water intake. Not far above that, there are timber harvest areas on both sides of the stream, which have been replanted, and the riparian becomes dominated by salmonberry and alder. There were a few small blown out beaver dams observed. The stream becomes marginal above the tributary junction and the flows become too small for coho use. The timber harvest areas continue on both sides of the stream above the end point. There is good LWD project potential with good access for industrial equipment, except for the last few hundred meters where access gets worse. Any future project should incorporate the culvert replacement from Hwy 47. The riparian consists of mostly alders dominating the survey and the hillslopes have timber harvests in the second half of the reach. So, a planting project would be beneficial to increase future LWD recruitment.
