Five reaches were designated based on tributary contributions and landuse changes. The landuses included second-growth timber (15-30cm dbh), rural residential, timber harvest, and old growth trees. The substrate was primarily fine sediment, gravel, and cobble. The habitat was dominated by riffle. Conifers 3-30cm dbh and hardwoods 3-15cm dbh were most frequently noted in the riparian zone. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: Reach 1 – T30S-R03W-S34NW – 485 meters – Reach 1 extended 485 meters from the confluence to a landuse change. The channel was constrained by terraces in a broad valley. The valley width index was 20.0. The average gradient was 2.6 percent. The landuses were rural residential and second-growth timber. Riffle (52%) was the dominant instream habitat. The primary substrates were fine sediment (27%), gravel (25%), and bedrock (25%). Riffle habitat contained eighteen percent fines and twenty-seven percent gravel. Wood volume was 0.6m 3 /100m. There was no riparian transect conducted. Reach 2 – T30S-R03W-S22NW - 3443 meters – Reach 2 spanned from a landuse change to the junction of St. John Creek tributary. The channel was constrained by alternating high terraces and hillslopes within a broad valley. The average valley width index was 5.3 (range: 1.5-11.0). The landuse was second-growth timber. The average gradient was 1.7 percent. Riffle (69%) was the dominant instream habitat. The substrate was a mix of fine sediment (26%), gravel (38%), cobble (20%). Riffle habitat contained sixteen percent fines and forty-two percent gravel. Wood volume was 10.8m 3 /100m. The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were 3- 30cm dbh hardwoods and 3-50cm dbh conifers (based on 6 riparian transects). Reach 3 – T30S-R03W-S15SW - 1631 meters – Reach 3 extended 1631 meters from St. John Tributary to an unnamed tributary.

STREAM: St. John Creek LLID: 1230596429295 BASIN: South Umpqua Basin HUC NUMBER: 17100302 SURVEY DATES: June 25 – July 9, 2009 USGS MAPS: Milo ECOREGION: Coast Range Klamath Siskiyou STREAM ORDER: 3 BASIN AREA: 19.4km2 FIRST ORDER TRIBUTARIES: 9 SURVEY CREW: Derrick Wheeler and Jim Nunnally REPORT PREPARED BY: Peggy Kavanagh GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The St. John Creek habitat survey began at its confluence with the South Umpqua River and

ended a washed out road. Five reaches were designated based on tributary contributions and landuse changes. The landuses included second-growth timber (15-30cm dbh), rural residential, timber harvest, and old growth trees. The substrate was primarily fine sediment, gravel, and cobble. The habitat was dominated by riffle. Conifers 3-30cm dbh and hardwoods 3-15cm dbh were most frequently noted in the riparian zone.

The trees found most frequently in the riparian zone were 3-30cm dbh conifers (based on 3 riparian transects).

COMMENTS:

Fish were observed throughout the survey. Overall, the crew did not specify the species, as juvenile fish (juv fish) was a catch-all for unidentified salmonids. Identified fish included coho, steelhead, and rainbow trout and were specifically listed in the units observed. The last fish was noted at unit 493 (8465m). The crew mentioned that the number of fish had decreased compared to those they had seen downstream of unit 103 (2017m). There were three potential barriers to fish movement during the survey. The first was at unit 452 (7947m), a cascade-over-boulder 2.6m high and 4m wide. There was a culvert crossing (unit 476 (8255m) with a 1.3m drop and a washed-out road (8899m) at the survey end. Corrugated metal, metal pipe, pieces of metal sheeting, car battery, chunks of concrete, and thin metal rod were noted often from unit 8 (88m) – 70 (1296m). There were odd pieces of concrete and rusty metal and steel cable there after. Wildlife sightings included the following: salmonid (steelhead?) redd, crayfish, fish, caddisfly (with stick houses), owls, deer bed and tracks, garter snake, grouse, black salamander, woodpecker, western fence lizard, sculpin, dragonfly, Pacific giant salamander, bear trail and scat, and a bat Beginning at unit 109 (2162m) and ending at unit 294 (5603m) were orange, pink, yellow, and blue flags, especially numerous from unit 210 (4089m) – unit 273 (5331m). Refer to the Comment Summary to learn which had location information and which indicated trails/paths.

The following has been transcribed from the crew’s field notebook: 06/25/09 – Unit 1-42 - Low gradient creek, small step to small pool, etc. Culvert Crossing at unit 10 is corrugated steel, Road 127. Open survey for the most part. Initial stretches in Reach 1 were of moderate gradient. Reach 2 was called as we left rural residential. It coincided with a switch to CA/CT. CA/CT has been consistent since. Reach 2 has been low gradient with long shallow RI interrupted by large placed log jams. Juv fish present throughout. Coho early and most likely steelhead since early Reach 2.

06/30/09 – Unit 104-161 – UTM’s for Unit 149 and for bridge crossing are from ~10-20m west of creek. Unable to get GPS in creek. Note: Bridge is new. Old bridge on USGS map is no longer there. This bridge crossing is further south of old one. 07/01/09 – Unit 162-221 – Crossed by mainstem St. Johns and the Right Fork. Called a third reach at this junction. Right Fork is pretty small and looks like a barrel of monkeys to survey. Plenty of deer tracks and browsing but no sheds to be found. The creek is still CA/CT but looks to be narrowing into a CH/MV, but I could be wrong. As of U221, we are getting pretty high-up in elevation. Gradients on the creek are still very shallow. We are into some clear cut areas. 07/07/09 – Unit 287-343 – Still low gradient riffles and sometimes graduating into RB. Pools are all very shallow with max depths around 0.4-0.5. ACW thinning and overhead brush thickening. ACW is hovering around 3m. Still CA/CT but VWI is around 2.5 so we are approaching CH/MV. Fewer jams but crawling much of the survey due to overhead vegetation. Had to leave the stream because of a nearby bear, but we got back to work. 07/08/09 – Unit 344-400 – Have to get to mechanics to pick up troublesome car. Then to office to do Reach sheet and PDA work. Today was higher gradient. A few CR and CB, mostly RB and LP. Creek had little overhead growth making the units fly but unit length was consistently small. Hiking out 45 minutes to car. 07/09/09 – Unit 401-452 – Unit 419 is also junction of unnamed tributary on left. Start Reach 5 here. Very tough to work here as we are constantly swooped by a bat! No pictures available as memory card is full. End of day at huge CB boulder. 07/13/09 – Unit 453-514 – Unit 476 culvert crossing potential fish barrier – corrugated steel under logging road with 1.3m drop. End survey at U514 a dry unit. This unit is at a road crossing. No culvert. Only interstitial flow under a partly washed earthen road. Definite fish barrier. Sorry no space on camera. Only 1 juvenile fish seen all day. Small ACW. Choked CH/SV made for brutal survey. A few miscues on the long hike in made for an even longer day. Now for the long walk out. Should be about 1.5hrs. Noticed a lot of burned wood in the stream today.
