Site Survey May 4, 2012
Today
we, site #4 are going to tell you a little bit of our site at Douglas
creek.
First
we will tell you about the riparian zone the left bank looking downstream is
50-100ft and our right bank looking downstream is over 100ft.
Now
I will tell you about the vegetation. Our site has sparse conifer and 0% cover
we have moderate deciduous trees and 5% cover, and moderate shrubs with 5%
cover finally but not least abundant grasses and herbs 30% cover.
The overhead canopy was 50-75%.
The channel has a flat bottom so that means we
could walk in it.
The longitudinal pattern was straight,
meandering and braided for me that’s pretty cool!
Bank stabilities has some erosion in some
areas.
Reach habitat: number of riffles 10, number of
pools 2, and percentage of riffles 10% and percentage of pools 2%.
The
artificial structures: in stream reach dams, pipes and litter. The beaver dam
was big and had litter and a pipe sticking out of the dam
Finally
along the stream reach was a road and farming on the plateau.

our conclusion of douglas creek
Conclusion of Douglas creek
Our creek is very healthy it has some tolerant bugs but mostly there are lots of good bugs that we did not identify. We had some stone flies. Our vegetation was thick our shrubs were abundant our grasses and herbs were abundant. Our temperature was 60 degrees. Our shape in cross-section is steep. Our longitudinal pattern was straight. Our bank stability was intact we had some erosion but that might have been from last year and our number of riffles was 0 our number of pools was 0. Our riparian zone. Looking down stream was 0-50% and our right stream looking down stream was 0-50%. Our woody debris was sparse. Our artificial structures. We had none of those we just had a beaver dam. We did a ph test and we got 8.0 we also did a dissolved oxygen test it took 13 drops of sodium sulfate. Our stream was very good over all and our group did a good job on everything except on the macro invertebrates.

site survey 2011
Our vegetation on site 4. The conifer tree population is sparse/nothing. Our deciduous trees are sparse also. The shrubs are abundant/a lot. The grasses and herbs are abundant also. To be more specific we’ve got a lot of rose bushes. So that tell you that we’ve got a lot of grasses and herbs and shrubs. As you can see we don’t have any conifers or deciduous trees and we did not have any protection our bank intact was a check.
Artificial structures. In stream reach we have a for dams and we have a check for litter and garbage.

Site survey
We are going to tell you in 6 paragraphs why site 4 is so awesome. The people in site 4 are Ethan, Tyler, and Haylee.
First we will tell you about the riparian zone. The left bank looking down stream is 50-100’. Right bank looking down stream is over 100’. We had no conifer trees, we had sparse deciduous trees, and we had moderate shrubs, and abundant grasses and herbs. We had 25-50 over head canopies.
Second the shape of the stream bank was most like a square. The longitudinal pattern was meandering. The gradient was low.
Third the numbers of riffles are 7. The % of pools are 10. The numbers of pools are 2 but 90% of the stream is pools. There was abundant woody debris and abundant organic debris.
Fourth, we will tell you about the artificial structures at our site. In the stream reach there was wires around the trees to keep the beavers from chopping them down. Alongside of the stream reach there was a bridge.
Last, we will tell you about the land uses adjacent to reach. We had Residential development over our hill to our west. There is no other land use by people that we could see.
