Assessment Comments
Two stream use assessments.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment forms indicate well-above average habitat quality. Diverse substrate and several pool/riffle sequences observed. Good pool depth should sustain aquatic community during dry periods. Channelization and pasture use impacts in headwaters are a threat to integrity of aquatic community. Fairly good diversity of fish species observed for a small stream in this region.
