Notes:
Stream S1 is a perennial channel originating at the confluence of two potentially
jurisdictional ditches (D4 and D5). Stream S1 flows east through W12, and
eventually dissipates into W1. Strong baseflow and moderate in -channel
structure were observed within stream S1. No biology was observed during the
time of data collection.

Notes:
Stream S2 is a short, weak intermittent channel that originates at a small headcut
and flows to the southeast through the project study area, eventually dissipating
into wetland W1. Stream S2 has moderate baseflow and channel bed and bank
continuity. No biology was observed at the time of data collection.

Notes:
Seneca Branch (S4) is a perennial channel that originates to the northwest of the project
study area and flows south, southeast through the project study area. Seneca Branch has
strong baseflow and continuity of channel bed and bank. A large floodplain wetland (W4) is
located along both banks of the southern portion of Seneca Branch within the study area.
Multiple frogs were observed within Seneca Branch at the time of data collection.

Notes:
Stream S5 is an intermittent channel that originates below a potentially
jurisdictional ditch (D25) and flows north before dissipating to wetland W4.
Stream S5 is visibly impacted by cattle hove shear, with steep, incised banks
and strong base flow. Stream S5 has silty, sandy substrate. Multiple frogs and
one fish were observed at the time of data collection.

*perennial streams may also be identified using other methods. See p. 35 of manual.
Notes:
Stream S8 is a perennial channel originating offsite and flows into stream S7
within the project study area. Strong baseflow and weak sinuosity were
observed within stream S8. No biology was observed during the time of data
collection.
