Notes (attach photograph or drawing on the back of this form):
Stream is highly modified (culverted for much of its length) and receives stormwater. Survey was conducted during a
rain event. Stream was high and turbid. Sampled at a small footbridge crossing.
b) Habitat
Primary Adjacent Land Use: Golf Course Riparian Zone Characteristics: Residential
Stream Width: < Imeter Flow Conditions: high Stream Order: 1?
Stream Permanence Characteristics, Rating (if relevant): Some cobble riffles were present, although it looked like the
substrate material were clean of Awfuchs (stormwater?), grasses were prolific.
c) Biology
Benthic Macroinvertebrate Taxa: Benthic fauna was dominated by isopods and amphipods. Miscellaneous Diptera also
were found (Tipula), I did collect one crayfish. It appears that this stream is marginally perennial.
Amphipoda: X Isopoda: X Decapoda: X Chironomidae: X Oligochaeta: X Mollusca: ?
Ephemeroptera: ? Plecoptera: ? Trichoptera: ? Coleoptera: X Other Diptera: X
Fish and Salamander Taxa: None
