Two reaches were designated based on: Valley form. Dammed and backwater pools (43%) and Riffles (25%) dominated the habitat in reach 1, while Silt/organics (18%), Sand (39%) and Gravel (20%) were the dominant substrate types. The habitat in reach 2 was dominated by Riffles (15%) and Rapids (84%), while Gravel (18%), Cobble (35%), and Boulder (23%) dominated the substrate. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length – 547 meters. The channel is constrained by open V-shaped hillslopes in a narrow valley. The average valley width index is 1.0. Land use for the reach is young timber. A sub dominant land use of second growth timber was also noted. The average unit gradient is 2.3%. The channel characteristics include: primary 547m and secondary 20m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There was a good amount of LWD with 25 logs greater or equal to 12m x .6m, which averages to 4.6 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 deciduous ranging from 3 - 15 cm dbh, with some mixed conifers and deciduous 30 – 50 cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with the Nehalem River, where an ODFW Spawning Survey start point is also located, and continues as a rapid over bedrock up to a dammed pool behind a debris jam comprised of LWD. From there, the stream crosses through a culvert under Highway 47. There is quite a bit of riprap and logs that are being used to help stabilize the bank below the highway. Plantings were observed both above and below the culvert crossing, some of which are below the floodprone height. Just above the culvert, there is a huge debris jam approximately 50m long by 20m wide by 10m high. Above the massive debris jam, stream enters a series of beaver dams and pools. Some of the beaver dams were partially blown out. In addition, there were some riffles in between the beaver dams with a number of blown out dams. There is little to no spawning gravel in Reach 1. Reach 1 ends as the beaver activity ends and the valley width index increases. There is poor LWD project potential and poor access for industrial equipment. The surveyors noted a good amount of LWD, including a massive debris jam just above Hwy 47. There is a new culvert crossing at the Hwy 47 road/stream crossing with several logs that appear to be placed below the culvert to trap gravel. The riparian has a good mix of conifers and alders. So, a planting project is not necessary. REACH 2: Length – 579 meters. The channel was constrained by steep V-shaped hillslopes in a narrow valley floor. The average valley width index is 2.0. Land use for the reach is second growth timber. A sub dominant land use of young timber was also noted. The average unit gradient is 3.2%. The channel characteristics include: primary 579m and secondary 32m. Zero pools were greater than 1m deep. There was a small amount of LWD in the stream with one piece greater than 12m x 0.6m, which averages to 0.2 pieces per 100m of primary channel. Reach 2 begins as the stream leaves the beaver complex. The reach consists primarily of rapids with no pools and is scoured to bedrock. Little to no gravel is present. As was also the case of Reach 1, there was a previous timber harvest that is older than five years on the hillslope just beyond the 30m buffer zone. The survey ended at an ODFW Spawning Survey sign end point in conjunction with a spring seep on the right where there is a large mass failure that is contributing heavy silt load to the stream. There is good LWD project potential, but poor access for industrial equipment. The surveyors noted a good amount of LWD in reach 1, but reach 2 has much less LWD and opportunities exist if better access can be found. The riparian has a good mix of conifers and alders. So, a planting project is not necessary. Cв ф .ЪЕдї2ќѓќяќяќяќяhPiЈh3 5CJ\h3  /BCWXwxМНоп§ў.

Just above the culvert, there is a huge debris jam approximately 50m long by 20m wide by 10m high. Above the massive debris jam, stream enters a series of b eaver dams and pools. Some of the beaver dams were partially blown out. In addition, there were some riffles in between the beaver dams with a number of blown out dams. There is little to no spawning gravel in Reach 1. Reach 1 ends as the beaver activ ity ends and the valley width index increases. \par }{\insrsid11037008 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid11037008 There is poor LWD project НЬъМ/Н ъН/НLъO/НŒъP/НЬъQ/Нє)ъR/Н)ъS/НДъ LLPcciq\\ƒƒ‡ХХЭ@@––ž4      OUUhpvvŽee†ŒŒЬввGGЃЃ4  8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€date€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€ €2€2006€3€Day€Month€Year\eЪдOY $ 4w|4:XxўPЁ Ы 44џџTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellMark McLaughlinх3 PiЈџ@€00Иг’CC002P@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"qˆ№аhadЕЦjdЕЦ ‘Ё‘Ё!№ ДД24d**„3ƒ№мH(№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ3 џџAdrianne Schackart Todd Boswellџџџџџџџџˆ;lXє  z‘  №.ћМ"System юrэЦ0јE -ћœџ@Times New Roman-  2 Zу -- 2 пу , 2 п,у , 2 пXу ,ћ‹џМ@Times New Roman-J2 п„*уNehalem River Watershed Habitat AssessmentT4A; 4`T!;44u:&44.A4A[;@!&;'T-.3..`4A' 2 пЁ у ? 2 eу , 2 e,у , 2 eXу , 2 e„у , 2 eАу ,2 eм уStream ReportA'44;`T4A;4' 2 eУу > 2 ыу ?-&2 _уSTREAM: Gus Creek8=C=HYH2'C!,,2 2 _Œу $ 2 _Ау - 2 вpotential and poor access for industrial equipment. The surveyors noted a good amount of LWD, including a massive debris jam just above Hwy 47. There is a new culvert crossing at the Hwy 47 road/stream crossing with several logs that appear to be placed below the culvert to trap gravel. The riparian has a good mix of conifers and alders. So, a planting project is not necessary. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid1247795 \par REACH 2: \par \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid1247795 \tab Length \endash 579 meters.
