Two reaches were designated based on: Valley form. In the first reach Dammed and backwater pools (18%) and Riffles (70%) dominated the habitat, while sand (35%), gravel (41%), and bedrock (14%) were the dominant substrate types. In the second reach Dammed and backwater pools (67%) and riffles (29%) dominated the habitat, while silt/organics (26%), sand (35%), and gravel (29%) were the dominant substrate types. The survey begins at the confluence with Battle Creek. An ODFW Spawning Survey sign was noted. The first reach runs through terraces and ends at a small tributary. The second reach is constrained by a road. An ODFW Spawning Survey sign was observed in this reach. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 1: Length – 784 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 18. Land use for the reach is large timber. A secondary land use of mature timber was also noted. The average unit gradient is 0.5%. The channel characteristics include: primary 784m and secondary 16m. No pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There were fourteen key pieces of LWD, which averages to 1.8 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 larger conifers 50 - 90cm dbh. This survey begins at the confluence with Battle Creek. Johnson Creek is the first major tributary off of Battle Creek on the left. There is good spawning gravel from the start of the survey and the riparian has a good mix of large cedar trees and alders, but quickly changes to an alder dominated riparian zone. There is a good amount of debris jams with pools having cover for fish. A lack of secondary channels is significant with the absence of slow moving rearing pools. The reach ends at a small tributary on the right. There is good LWD project potential, but poor access for industrial equipment. The stream already has a fair amount of LWD and deep pools, but there is very little off-channel habitat. The biggest drawback would be the poor access. If further planning can find alternative access this would be an excellent area to conduct a future restoration project. The riparian has a nice mix of medium and large conifers for future LWD recruitment. So, a planting project is not necessary. REACH 2: Length – 1,686 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces alternating with hillslopes in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 5.8. Land use for the reach is second growth. The average unit gradient is 1.1%. The channel characteristics include: primary 1,686m and secondary 43m. Zero pools were greater than 1 meter deep. There were twenty-four key pieces of LWD, which averages to 1.4 key pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 3 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly conifers 3 – 15 cm dbh, with some mixed sizes of deciduous ranging from 15 – 50 cm dbh. The reach starts near a culvert crossing that has no passage problems. Also, there is an ODFW Spawning Survey sign on the right. The stream continues to have good gravel for spawning. Various debris jams have created small dammed pools. The riparian is composed of mixed small conifers and deciduous trees. A road on the right is constraining the stream and is frequently used by ATVs causing erosion and run-off. Beaver activity dominates the remaining second half of the reach. The beaver dams eventually eliminate fish habitat and passage due to the altered stream channel, tall dams, and silted pools. There is good LWD project potential, but poor access for industrial equipment. The stream already has a fair amount of LWD and deep pools, but there is very little off-channel habitat. The biggest drawback would be the poor access. If further planning can find alternative access this would be an excellent area to conduct a future restoration project. Another project would be to reduce the negative impact the ATV vehicles are having through erosion issues. The riparian has a nice mix of medium and large conifers for future LWD recruitment. So, a planting project is not necessary. 9г х бв—ќѓќяќшќ hз#hз#hp0­hз#5CJ\hз#%89QRqrŽКЛмнћќ, M N d e z {   ›  Б В §Р!Ќ§Р!Ѕ§Р!Ѕ§Р!Ѕ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ—§В Л М YZmnSTU^_нпDE–—§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!Ќ§Р!ЌјР!Ќ§Р!Ќgdз# 1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %АNormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@ђџЁ< Default Paragraph Font5"џџџџ џџ z™ џџ z™Н5Œ/BC[\uv‘’ОПрсџ/PQgh}~’“ž ДЕОПIJP Q R [ \ к м 7˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@ђџЁD Default Paragraph FontVi@ѓџГV  Table Normal :V і4ж4ж laі (k@єџС(No List —$џџџџ џџ z™ џџ z™К—Ÿ%89QRqrŽКЛмнћќ,MNdez{›БВЛМYZm n S T U ^ _ н п DE–™˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€€˜0€€ ˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€˜0€€p˜0€€˜0Ole џџџџџџџџџџџџ5OlePres000џџџџ,ВITEM000ODS џџџџITEM000FMTџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџˆ;lXp И‘  №.ћМ"System8$rэЦ0јE -ћœџ@Times New Roman-  2 Zу -- 2 пу , 2 п,у , 2 пXу ,ћ‹џМ@Times New Roman-;2 п„ уUpper Nehalem Habitat AssessmentTAA44T4A:!4`[;A!&;'T.-4-.`4A' 2 п‹ 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: Johnson Creek8=C=HY(222'22C!,,2 2 _3у } 2 _Ау - 2 ву -82 EуSUBBASIN: Upper Nehalem River8HBBH9 HH22,!H,3,,NC2,! 2 EЏу . 2 Иу -22 +уDATES: February 13, 2006HH==87,2!3,#0223222 2 +‰у - 2 žу -L2 +уSURVEY CREW: Todd Boswell, Mark McLaughlin8HCH=HCC=_=221B2'H,Y,!2Z-<,3222 2 ^у - 2 „у -;2 ї уREPORT PREPARED BY: Ben WalczakC=8HC=8C<8HC=HBHB,2_,,-,2 2 ї у . 2 jу -/2 нуGENE CONSERVATION GROUP:H=H=CHH8=CHH> IHHCHH8 2 нЕу ' 2 нму12 2 ну-!2 н/уNCHC 2 нКу - 2 Pу -2 УуUTM H=Y2 Уї уCOORDINATES:CHHCI HH==8 2 Уеу л2 УАуStart 8,! 2 У†у–2.2 УИу 0483614 E & 5092458 N 2222222=M2232222H 2 Ун у - 2 6у , 2 6,у , 2 6Xу , 2 6„у ,2 6АуEnd =22 2 6jу–2.2 6œу 0483562 E & 5094323 N 2222222=M2232222H 2 6С у - 2 Љу -+2  уUSGS MAPS: PittsburgNH8H8YH888'22!1 2  ру - 2  у -)2  уGENERAL DESCRIPTION:H=H=CI<H=8CD8>!HH 2  ‘у - 2 u у - 2 ш у ,z2 ш ,JуThe Johnson Creek winter habitat survey begins at its confluence with the =2,(222'22C!,,2H2,!2,2,'2!2.02-12',',22!2,2,,H22,2 [ уNehalem River H,2,,NC2,!&2 [ _у and extends 2,470,22,3,22'222242 [ Nу meters.

There is good spawning gravel fr om the start of the survey and the riparian has a good mix of large cedar trees and alders, but quickly changes to an alder dominated riparian zone. There is a good amount of debris jams with pools having cover for fish. A lack of secondary channels is significant with the absence of slow moving rearing pools. The reach ends at a small tributary on the right. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid1844183 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\€€p˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ €˜0€€p˜0€€˜0€€€—В ——џџwа|;ъwаœъwадюwаюјvа<ёыљvаЬў#њvа ъ?xаLъ@xаŒъAxаЬъўvа ъџvаLъ9wа|)ъ:wафъMwаЄ+Nwа,ъ]]ck{ZZЦЦЮЙЙ„„ХХ™     bjppŒccЭггХХбб™ 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€ €13€2€2006€Day€Month€Year  длZcрх),RUА К ” — д з ™irX^™::*Rr™рх™џџTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellTodd Landon BoswellMark McLaughlinхз#p0­џ@€ххИг’иихaspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid1844183 There is good LWD project potential, but poor access for industrial equipment.

Also, there is an ODFW Spawning Survey sign on the right. The stream continues to have good gravel for spawning. Various debris jams have created small dammed pools. The riparian is composed of mixed small conifer s and deciduous trees. A road on the right is constraining the stream and is frequently used by ATVs causing erosion and run-off. Beaver activity dominates the remaining second half of the reach. The beaver dams eventually eliminate fish habitat and pas sage due to the altered stream channel, tall dams, and silted pools. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid1844183 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid1844183 {\insrsid1844183 There is good LWD project potential, but poor access for industrial equipment.
