Dear Dr. Poor: 



In reply to your request for information on the potential of finding sites 

 in stream localities on the Kootenai National Forest, we have not formally 

 collected that kind of data. Until such a time that we could say that a 

 thorough survey of the Forest (including it's streams) has been conducted, 

 information of this sort would be so speculative as to be misleading. We 

 do have a map of the Forest with our recorded sites, however all that this 

 indicates is where surveys have been conducted. You could also get an idea 

 of what streams we have surveyed by referring to our cultural resource 

 inventory reports. These surveys are designed around project boundaries 

 that don't require that we walk the entire creek, so at best we have only 

 walked fractions of individual creeks. 



I am sorry that we cannot be of help to you. Please let us know if I have 

 misinterpreted your needs.
