STREAM REPORT STREAM: Beaver Slide Creek LLID: 1238459432593 BASIN: Tioga Creek HUC NUMBER: 17100304 SURVEY DATES: September 21-22, 2011 ECOREGION: Coast Range Sedimentary USGS MAP: Tioga WATERSHED AREA: 2.9km2 FIRST ORDER TRIBUTARIES: 1 STREAM ORDER: 1 SURVEY CREW: Andrew Walch and Travis Neal REPORT PREPARED BY: Peggy Kavanagh REACH DESCRIPTION: (T26S-R10W-S35SE) – 1681 meters – The Beaver Slide Creek habitat survey began at West Fork

Tioga Creek and ended at a tributary junction. The stream channel was constrained by high terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index was 4.2 (range: 1.0-9.0). The average gradient was 3.3 percent. The land uses were large timber (30-50cm dbh) and second-growth timber (15-30cm dbh). The stream habitat was a mix of scour pool (20%), riffle (33%), and rapid (32%). The substrate was primarily fine sediment (27%), gravel (28%), and cobble (31%). Twelve percent of the reach length had actively eroding banks. Wood volume was 14.9m3/100m. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were hardwoods 3-50cm dbh. Total number of trees per 100m2: 1.9 conifers and 7.7 hardwoods (based on 3 riparian transects).

COMMENTS: Fish were observed until the end of the survey. The last fish was noted at unit 54 (1681m). A fish

presence / absence survey was not conducted. Log fish habitat structures were present. A red-legged frog and coho were observed by the crew.

A large debris jam was noted at unit 51 (1508m).
