General Site Issues/Concerns
Stream Issues/Concerns:
Wetland Issues/Concerns:
r- Vegetation Composition or
Density
17- Planted Stem Vigor (due to soil,
browsing)

Missing/Indicate Problems
17- Bank Instability/Failure
r- Bench Rills/Erosion
(constructed bench or P2 valley)
17- Excess Sinuosity (lack of flow)
r- Braided/Anabranch Channel
17- Evidence of Excessive
Hydrology
r- Evidence of Insufficient
Hydrology
17- Hydric Soil Indicators/Soil
Series
r- Surface Roughness or Bedding
17- Channel Relocation/Riparian
Connectivity
r- Hydroperiod Length or
Start/Stop Date
r- Inappropriate Credit Ratio
Proposed
17- JD Needed to Confirm
Approach

f- Easement Issues (existing farm,
CE, NRCS funding)
F- Easement Encroachments
(livestock, clearing)

Area
17- Insufficient Hydrology (if raising
channel bed)

pipes, fords)
r- Substrate Concerns
(embeddedness, particle size)
17- Live Stakes Absent/Failing
r- Evidence of Water Quality
Issues
17- Inlstream Habitat Weak/Missing
r- Stream Buffer Width Inadequate
17- Missing Gauge Data
(preconstruction or monitoring)
r- Gauge Location/Placement

Notes and Sketches, etc
Soil amendments done near pond
Reseeding recently completed
Juncus plugs along bank toe
Discussion on stream management after 2 years vs 5 years
Container plants not necessarily growing taller faster than bare root
seedlings
Algae present smaller reaches
T5 - sections bare banks jute mesh, some bank cutting out meanders at
least 2 areas, typical P2,
Log sill piping, question about footer if on bedrock, straight slope areas
T6 relocate gauge to riffle, veg in channel
T8 veg in channel
Species to watch - Arthraxin hersbedus small carpet grass, merdania asian
spiderwort
T3 Perched culvert T3 & cow trespass evidence
T4 watch flow & veg in channel
T7 dry at top to restoration, add flow gauge at charge, no footer logs
concerned about piping
Buckwater creek R7 Enhancement 2 bank erosion on bends just jute mesh
cover
Buckwater R3-R4 odd shaping - deep wide pools & short very narrow riffles
Overall concerns - Flow on small tribs, veg in channel, structure piping, E2
repairs planned
