Instructions for completion ot worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by detemtining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, teaain, vege[a[ion, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each chazacteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
chazacteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessmen[ of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteris[ic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the swring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there aze obvious changes in the chazacter of a stream under review (e.g., [he stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the sheam may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a sepazate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach mus[ range between 0 and 100, wi[h a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality. .

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by de[ernilning the mos[ appropriate ecoregion based on
loca6on, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each chazacteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics iden[ified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the sheam reach under evaluation. If a
chazacteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there aze obvious changes in [he chazacter of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the sheam may be divided into smaller reaches [hat display more continuity, and a sepazate fomi used [o evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and lOQ with a score of 100 represenring a stream of the
highest quality.

into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more conrinuity, and a sepazate form used [o evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of ]00 represenring a stream of [he
highest qualiTy.
