Notes:
Stream S1 is a strong perennial channel that originates offsite and flows
northwest towards Kit Creek. Stream S1 has strong base flow and significantly
incised banks. Large amounts of recent alluvial deposition and multiple
benches were observed throughout the channel of stream S1. Multiple frogs
were observed within the stream channel.

W1 and flows a short distance west before draining into stream S1. No baseflow
or biology were observed within stream S2 at the time of data collection.
