Notes:
Stream S1 (Black Creek) is a strong perennial stream located within a natural
valley. A greenway network is located parallel to stream S1. Stream S1 has
continuous baseflow and strong riffle-pool sequencing. Large organic debris
lines were observed outside of stream S1's banks. One fish and multiple
salamanders were observed within the stream S1 reach.
