Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
locarion, terrain, vegetation, stream classificarion, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristics within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief descriprion of how to review the
characteristics idenrified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluarion. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather condirions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanarion in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream amy be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 49 Comments:
Evaluator's Signature (Jennifer M Freeman) Date 12-11-06
This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in
gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality. The
total score resulting from the complerion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a particular mitigation ratio
or requirement.
