STREAM REPORT

STREAM: Spring Creek BASIN: Powder River DATES: July 20 - 21, 2009 SURVEY CREW: Emily Zimmermann / Nichole Bushey REPORT PREPARED BY: Staci Stein USGS MAPS: Glasgow Butte ECOREGION: Blue Mountain Basin and Upland BASIN AREA: 11.41 km2 STREAM ORDER: 2 FIRST ORDER TRIBUTARIES: 4 HUC NUMBER: 17050203 LLID: 1174359448313 REACH DESCRIPTION: Reach 1: (T08S-R43E-S34NW) Length 1,540 meters. The Spring Creek habitat survey

began at the confluence with the Powder River and ended upstream from the trail that crosses BLM land. The stream channel was predominately constrained by hillslopes in a moderate V-shaped narrow valley floor. The average valley width index was 5.3 (range: 1.5-9.0). Land use was light grazing. The average unit gradient was 5.2 percent. Eighty-four percent of the stream channel was dry. There were short puddled sections intermittent throughout the stream survey. The substrate was primarily composed of gravel (26%), fine sediment (24%), and cobble (23%). Wood volume was 0.2m3/100m. Grasses and shrubs were the dominant riparian vegetation. The stream channel was very brushy and difficult to see.

COMMENTS: Several small unidentifiable fish were observed in the wetted channel areas. Deer were noted in the valley basin and old beaver chewings were noted. Because the stream was extremely brushy, the crew did estimate some units.
