Wasson Creek is a small 1*' order tributary to upper Nevada Spring Creek with a length of 

 -8.4 miles. The Wasson drainage contains both public (National Forest) land in the upper 

 drainage and private land downstream of mile ~4. Wasson Creek ranks low in the total ranking 

 for project streams. Wasson Creek ranks low rankings in most categories except for a high rank 

 in potential water quality benefits and moderate rank in social and financial considerations. 

 Wasson Creek also has potential to increase flow in the Blackfoot River. Wasson Creek supports 

 high densities of WSCT in upper reaches with densities decreasing significantly in lower reaches. 

 Impairments to fisheries, located in the middle and lower reaches, include 1) excessive livestock 

 access to the stream, 2) channel aherations, 3) dewatering, and 4) possible fish barriers at 

 diversion points.
