fustructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by detemvning the most appropriate ecoregion based on
locatioq terrain, vegetatioq sheam classificarion, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregioa Assign points
to each characteris[ic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluatioa If a
characteris[ic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and pruvide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pastwe
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a sepazate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with e score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
