instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, strearn classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion: Assign points
to each characteristic 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 evaluation. 1f :a
characteeristic cannot be evaluated true to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide 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 pasture
into a forest), the stream may 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): Comments:
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 completion of this form is subject to USAGE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change- version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919 - 875 -8441 x 26.
