STREAM RESTORATION HABITAT REPORT

STREAM: West Fork Millicoma River (MS-64) BASIN: Millicoma River SURVEY TYPE: Post-Tx DATE: July 8, 2004 SURVEY CREW: Alex Dale, Kevin Cellura REPORT PREPARED BY: Paul Jacobsen BASIN AREA: 67.7 km2 USGS MAPS: Elk Peak ECOREGION: Coast Range Sedimentary GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The West Fork Millicoma River habitat survey extended 544 meters. The channel was alternately constrained by hillslopes and terraces in a broad valley floor. The average valley width index was 2.3 (range: 1.3-3.5). Land use for the reach was mature (50-90 cm dbh) and second growth (15-30 cm dbh) trees. The average unit gradient was 1.3 percent. Scour pools (54%) and riffles (26%) dominated stream habitat. Gravel (31%) and bedrock (25%) dominated stream substrate. Wood volume was high at 41.6 m3/100m.

COMMENTS:

There were no potential barriers to upstream fish migration in the surveyed length. The crew noted several habitat structures during the survey.
