These are bullet shells we found at a place camping site. There is also a beer cap that we found around the same place. I think they're 22mm shells. Can't you see that its a corona beer cap?

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.
