One reach was designated based on: Valley form. In the reach Riffles (42%) and Dammed/Backwater pools (37%) dominated the habitat, while Silt/organics (31%), Sand (31%), Gravel (18%), and Bedrock (18%) were the dominant substrate types. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: REACH 5: Length 1,792 meters. The channel is constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index is 4.5. Land use for the reach is second growth timber. A sub dominant land use of young timber was also observed. The average unit gradient is 1.9%. The channel characteristics include: primary 1,792m and secondary 73m. Six pools were greater than 1 meter deep, which averages to 3.3 pools per kilometer of primary stream channel. There were eleven key pieces of LWD, which averages to 0.6 pieces per 100m. The vegetation is based on 3 riparian transects. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were mostly conifers ranging from 3 15 cm dbh, with some deciduous 15-30 cm dbh also present. Reach five began at the confluence of Trib C, but the 2006 survey began above the culvert crossing which is a potential artificial velocity barrier and the 2005 survey end point. The riparian starts out dominated by alders, but there is a nice stretch of small conifers on both sides of the stream. There were some scoured to bedrock conditions in a number of units, as well as a number of blown out beaver dams. In addition, there were some active beaver dams with freshly chewed sticks although some were partially blown out. One of the beaver dams had a large amount of algae growing in the pool. Above the beaver ponds there was some nice spawning gravel, with only smaller pockets observed in the first part of the reach. There were a number of backwaters observed, but most were small and had little to no complexity. There was one short secondary channel, but it too had no complexity. The survey ended above an ODFW spawning survey sign, just below another road crossing as the stream started to become too small for coho use, with a large amount of brush beginning to cover the entire active channel of the stream. There was good LWD project potential, but access for industrial equipment is poor. If alternative access options can be found a future project would be beneficial. Most of the beaver creek reaches below, which were surveyed in 2005, all are excellent future project areas. Future plans should include multiple project throughout this basin. The riparian is alder dominated at the start, but quickly turns to some nice conifers. Therefore, a planting project is not necessary.
