ODFW AQUATIC INVENTORY PROJECT OREGON PLAN FOR SALMON & WATERSHEDS STREAM RESTORATION HABITAT REPORT STREAM: South Sister Creek (U-250) BASIN: Smith River SURVEY TYPE: Pre-Tx DATE: January 27, 2004 SURVEY CREW: Michael Scheu, Jeremiah Bernier REPORT PREPARED BY: Paul Jacobsen BASIN AREA: 30.6 km 2 USGS MAPS: Gunter ECOREGION: Coast Range Sedimentary GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The South Sister Creek habitat survey extended 2,452 meters. The channel was constrained by terraces in a broad valley floor. The average valley width index was 5.5 (range: 3.0-8.0). Land use for the reach was large (30-50 cm dbh) and second growth (15-30 cm dbh) trees. The average unit gradient was 1.4 percent. Riffles (36%) and scour pools (32%) dominated stream habitat. Bedrock (66%) dominated stream substrate. Wood volume was low at 5.6 m 3 /100m. COMMENTS: There were no potential barriers to upstream fish migration in the surveyed length.
