Reach Riparian Ranking: BLM= 50% (12 of 24) EPA RBP= 55% (1 10 of 200) 



Reach Riparian CeomorphoIog>: The geomorphology of this stream reach is a Rosgen F-6 vsith a 

 gentle slope(< l"o). lo\s sinuosit\. a run-pool configuration with silt-dominated runs and pools. Pools are 

 slightly incised and averaged -40 cm in depth, wetted width of the reach averaged 5m. Surrounding bank 

 materials are coarser than the channel bed materials indicating an accumulation of sediments locally and 

 upstream in the reach. 



.\mphibian Community: 2 adult Northern Leopard Frog (NLF) were recorded. 



Fish Community: 2 f1sh species ( I native) were seined in the pool. Dominant species was the fathead 

 minnow. I Apccted fish for this stream type have not been met. and the fish 1131 is showing moderate 

 impairment. This indicates that habitat quality or water quality are definitely affecting the fish community. 



Fish Community Quality: IB1= 43.6 0/E= 50% of the expected indicator tlsh species. 



Macroinvcrtebratc Community: This community of prairie stream invertebrates consists of the 

 impaired Prairie Pool assemblage (#12. Stagliano 2005). Thecommunit> indicator species are 

 characterized by tolerant, damseltly taxa. Coenagrion Emillagnui sp. Eiicillunma civile. Lestes mid 

 Islmura, the crustaceans (Hyalella and Gammarus), many genera of the water boatman (Corixidae: 

 Sigara alternate. Trichocorixa nais. and Corisella), the snails (Physella. Gyraulus. and Stagnicola), 

 nia\ flies (Caenis and Callihuelis). and beetles (Oreodytes. I.accophilus. Hydroporus and Hygrottis). 

 .As the complexity of the pool habitat decreases the dinger habitat species are lost, such as the 

 damselflies and many of the water boatman taxa. Only 50% of the indicator species were present in this 

 sample.
