Mitchell Creek, a T' order tributary to Nevada Creek, flows ~7 miles through a combination 

 of public (National Forest) land in the headwaters and private agricultural land downstream of 

 mile ~4. Mitchell Creek ranks low in total rank for non-project streams. This ranking is due to 

 low native species value, lack of sport fishery value to the Blackfoot River, and moderate 

 potential to improve downstream water quality. The only salmonid present is resident WSCT in 

 low to moderate densities. Fisheries impairments in middle reaches include 1) road crossings 

 (undersized culvert), 2) lacks complex fish habitat, and 3) livestock access to stream banks.

Moose Creek, a small T' order tributary to the upper Blackfoot River, flows ~4 miles 

 through National Forest land, except for a small section of private land near the mouth. Moose 

 Creek ranks high in total rank, due to high native species, single species sport fishery value to the 

 Blackfoot River and a high rank for social and financial considerations. Due to adequate flows 

 and healthy riparian area. Moose Creek ranks low in potential to improve water quality and 

 provides no potential for increasing flows to the Blackfoot River. Moose Creek supports a 

 population of fluvial WSCT. Fishery impairments near the mouth include an undersized culvert, 

 which likely limits upstream fish passage.
