Site suvey for site 3
On May 9, 2011 Travis, Riley, and Olivia went to Site 3 at Douglas Creek our site is 100ft long. First I’ll tell about our site’s channel. The shape in the cross-section was a U. The longitudinal pattern was meandering. Next I’ll tell you about the reach habitat. The number of riffles was1the percentage of riffles was 10%. The number of pools was 1 the percentage of pools were 15%. The woody debris was moderate. The organic debris was sparse. Now I’ll tell you about the riparian zone when you’re looking down stream 100ft down. On the right its 50-100ft wide and on the left bank it was the same. That’s all in the riparian zone. Next I’ll tell you about the vegetation the conifer has 0% the deciduous has 30% the shrubs have 50% the grass and herbs have 75%. Now I’ll tell you about the over head canopy. It’s 0-25%. Next I’ll tell you about the stream bank the vegetation cover was abundant. Next I’ll tell you about the artificial structures. In stream reach there are some litter/garbage and a port a potty. In conclusion our site is very interesting.

Site Survey 2009
Site 3 is at a place called Douglas Creek. We study there, with the animals and we do photo points. Site 3 is close to the camping and a parking area. You are going to know about our site at Douglas Creek.
We will first tell you about the riparian zone. The riparian zone is the green part of the creek. The width on the left side looking down stream is 50-100”. The width on the right side looking downstream is also 50- 100”. There is a lot of vegetation. There are 0% conifers, 40% deciduous trees, 10% shrubs, and 50% grasses and herbs. The overhead canopy is 0-25%.
Next we are going to tell you about the channel. The shape in the cross section is a U. A U shape is when you step in the water and your foot does not sink down because it gradually gets deeper.
Now we will tell you about the reach habitat. The number of riffles is 3. The percentage is 5%. The number of pools is 4. The percentage is 70%. The woody debris is sparse. The organic debris is abundant.
Next were going to describe some of our stream Banks. Our vegetation cover is Abundant. There are grasses all over, you can barely walk with all the grass. Our artificial bank protection was 0-25% and our bank stability was only erosion in some areas with a bank intact also it was collapsed in some areas.
.
Our group’s artificial structures were no dams, no diversions, no culverts, no storm drains, no pipes, and no weirs. But we did have litter and garbage. A long the stream reach are no bridges, no roads, no flood retention, and no flood detentions.
Next we will tell you how the land is used next to our stream reach. There is no residential development, no commercial development, no industrial development, no mining, there is recreation, no irrigation/water withdrawals; there is crops, no grazing/livestock or access to our stream, and no logging.
Now you should know what is at site#3.
