The Riparian Zone is looking like the left bank is heading downstream,0-50 ft.It also looks like the right bank is also heading downstream,0-50 ft.

The vegetation for conifer is 0% cover. And the vegetation for deciduous is moderate which means kind of a lot but  no as much as sparse.For the shrubs it is sparse which means hardly any at all. For grasse’s and herbs it is abuntant which means a lot.

For overhead canopy it is 0-25% that means there is hardly anything that will cover you like trees and anything else that can cover you.

Channel,For the shape in cross section is a flat bottom. There is also 2 other shape in cross sections 1 other one is a U shape and the other shape is a V shape.

The longitudinal pattern is either straight,meandering,or braided and it is straight pattern.

For the gradient it  can be low,moderate,or steep and it is low. Now for alterations, sadly there are no alterations.

Now it’s time for the stream banks: Vegetation cover is abundant.

Now it’s time for more,here’s the artificial bank protection which is: 0-25.

For the bank stability,

Bank intact. No bank intact

Erosion in some area’s. There is  a  little bit of erosion but not a lot.

Banks collapse in some areas. No collapsing in any areas.

site survey 2011

This is the site survey for Douglas Creek site 2 on May 9, 2011.The survey people are Hailey Kaden Braylen Taylor and Mr. Moreno.

First I will tell you of the riparian zone. The width for left bank is 0-50ft. and the right bank is 0-50ft. The vegetation has no conifer trees and deciduous is abundant. Shrubs are abundant and grasses and herbs are abundant. The overhead canopy is 50-75%.

Next I will tell you about the channel. The channel is what area the stream flows in. The shape cross section is steep sides and a flat bottom. The longitudinal pattern is braided and the gradient is moderate.

Next I will tell you about the stream banks. The vegetation on the stream bank is abundant. The protection is 0-25%. The banks stability has erosion in some areas.

We also surveyed the habitat in our reach. The number of riffles is about 10. The number of pools are 1. The percentage of riffles is 50-75% the percentage of the pools is 25%.


Now I will tell you about the land use adjacent to the stream. We have a road and there are camping spots. Also we had tire tracks in to the stream. We have some artificial structures like litter and garbage.
