1 ODFW AQUATIC INVENTORY PROJECT STREAM REPORT STREAM: BASIN: South Fork Dixie Creek Burnt River DATES: July 6, September 3-7, SURVEY CREW: REPORT PREPARED BY: Jennifer Bock / Eric Evans / LaNoah Babcock Jennifer Bock / Charlie Stein STREAM ORDER: 4 BASIN AREA: 56 km FIRST ORDER TRIBUTARIES: 5 USGS MAPS: Mormon Basin, Rye Valley ECOREGION: Blue Mountains Uplands and Valleys HUC NUMBER: 75 LLID: GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The South Fork Dixie Creek habitat survey began at the confluence with Dixie Creek and continues upstream 3,43 meters to end at confluence with the South Fork Dixie Creek. Five reaches were designated based on channel morphology, vegetation or water levels. The stream was predominantly constrained by alternating hillslopes and high terraces in reaches to 3 and by hillslopes in reaches 4 and 5. The land use was predominantly heavy grazing. The riparian zone was dominated by 3-5 cm dbh hardwood trees throughout reaches and (based on 5 riparian transects) and by a mix of hardwood and conifer species 3-5 cm dbh in reaches 3, 4, and 5. REACH DESCRIPTIONS: Reach : (T3S-R43E-S9SE) Length 4,79 meters. Reach began at the confluence with Dixie Creek. The stream was constrained by high terraces in a broad valley. The average valley width index was 38 (range: 5-4). Land use for the reach was agricultural. The average unit gradient was. percent. Stream habitat was comprised primarily of riffles (86%). Stream substrate was dominated by silt and sand (56%) and gravel (36%) sized sediment. The average residual pool depth was 43 cm. Wood volume was.9m 3 per m of stream channel. s 3-5cm dbh are the dominant riparian trees (based on four riparian transects). Reach : (T3S-R43E-S8SE) Length,97 meters. The stream was constrained by alternating terrace and hillslopes in a broad valley. The valley width index was. Land use for the reach was heavy grazing. The average unit gradient was 5.3 percent. Stream habitat was dominated by rapids (79%). Stream substrate was dominated by silt and sand (3%) and gravel (33%) sized sediment. Wood volume was low at.7m 3 per m of stream channel. s 3-5 cm dbh were the dominant riparian trees (based on one riparian transect).

2 South Fork Dixie Creek continued Reach 3: (T3S-R43E-S8SW) Length 3,49 meters. The stream was constrained by alternating terrace and hillslopes in a broad valley. The average valley width index was 8.9 (range:.5 - ). Land use for the reach was heavy grazing. The average unit gradient was 5.7 percent. Stream habitat was dominated by rapids (7%). Stream substrate was primarily gravel (3%) and cobble (3%) sized sediment. The average residual pool depth was 35 cm. Wood volume was.5m 3 per m of stream channel. A mix of hardwoods and conifer 3-5cm dbh are the dominant riparian trees (based on three riparian transects). Reach 4: (T3S-R4E-S4SW) Length 95 meters. The stream was constrained by hillslopes in a narrow valley. The valley width index was. Land use for the reach was light grazing. The average unit gradient was.5 percent. Cascades (8%) dominated the stream habitat. Stream substrate was primarily gravel (6%) and cobble (5%) sized sediment. Wood volume was.m 3 per m of stream channel. A mix of hardwoods and conifer 3-5 cm dbh were the dominant riparian trees (based on one riparian transect). Reach 5: (T3S-R4E-SNE) Length 3,649 meters. The stream was predominantly constrained by hillslopes in a narrow valley. The average valley width index is 6. (range.5 to 5). The valley width index (vwi) for a hillslope-constrained reach is typically less-than-or-equalto.5. Here due to averaging, the vwi is 6.. Land use for the reach was heavy grazing. The average unit gradient was.3 percent. Stream habitat was comprised of beaver pools (46%), riffles (7%), and rapids (9%). Stream substrate was dominated by silt and sand (8%). The average residual pool depth was 88 cm. Wood volume was 7. m 3 per m of stream channel. A mix of hardwoods and conifer 3-3 cm dbh were the dominant riparian trees (based on two riparian transects). COMMENTS: Cattle were observed throughout the survey. A high percentage (range of 5% to 9%) of silt and fine sized sediment was observed in riffle units throughout the survey. Fish were observed from the confluence with Dixie Creek and upstream approximately 8,795 meters to the beginning of reach 4 (unit #74). The upper distribution of fish was not determined. Beaver activity was observed extensively throughout reach 5. Very little large woody debris was observed.
