Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in July 1991.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment form indicates well-above average habitat quality for small stream in this region.   Abundant coarse substrates were observed.   Where assessed, stream is meandering and has numerous pool/riffle sequences.   Fish community observed may be slightly below expectations of habitat.   Flow stability is a likely threat to aquatic community.
