(Arrastra Creek), these tributaries lack bull trout reproduction although many support 

 limited bull trout rearing. 



Other moderate priority streams are found both north and south of the general 

 distribution pattern. The northern streams include lower priority bull trout core area 

 streams. Stream on the south include several with potential for water quality and flow 

 improvement or are ranked high with respect to social considerations. 



Most streams in this moderate priority category support human-induced limiting 

 factors and many controllable sources of fish mortality, such as entrainment of fish in 

 irrigation ditches and stream dewatering. Most habitat-related problems can be 

 reasonably corrected with sufficient commitment fi-om landowners and resource 

 managers. We have already begun to implement restoration project on many of these 

 streams. Streams on the 303(d) list considered moderate priority include: 1) Blackfoot 

 River reaches 3, 5 and 6, 2) Nevada Spring Creek, 3) Youmame Creek, 4) Pearson Creek 

 5) Wales Creek, 6) Arrastra Creek, 7) Clearwater River, 8) Douglas Creek, 9) upper 

 Nevada Creek, 10) Union Creek, 11) upper Willow Creek, and 12) Black Bear Creek.
