Discussed revising overall map to see different approaches better
5 yr site
Amt of planting?
Upper main stem P2- low growth typical, need to remove more of beaver dam
UT2-flow to mid reach, , trees lacking, a lot of golden rod, a lot of water, will install another gauge in the middle of the
reach, will work to find gauge at the bottom of reach
UT4-ok
Reach 4 -stream left rip area cow grazed, low growth, need some trees (larger) here
UT3- looked at bottom portion, will add a gauge in middle, herbaceous lush but trees of size lacking
UT 5- no water, moved gauge to this reach, however, likely not a creditable reach
UT6- flow, short area subsurface
New crossing fence good
Did not look at bottom of project, heat issues (me)
We did see all areas where there were current or past issues. Cattle appear to have been out for the last year or so...
They plan on replanting areas around UT2 and UT3 as well as areas stream left on Rch 4.
They will send a summary of notes from today's activities
