Notes:
Stream S2 is a weak intermittent channel that primarily carries stormwater, but
has downcut and intercepted groundwater in some areas. The channel bed is
mostly covered in leaf litter and there are roots acting as grade control
structures. Water was pooled throughout the reach. No biology was observed.

Notes:
Sandy Creek is a deeply incised perennial channel that flows under Morreene
Road in the project study area. The stream appears ditched/straightened. No
biology was observed within the channel.
