| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The 1996 Tulameen River Watershed Stream Assessment report included prioritized recommendations for stream restoration by reach of the Tulameen River and eleven tributaries. The restoration portion of the project was comprised of two main components: Granite Creek stream enhancement and Granite Creek headwaters native riparian planting. Granite Creek which was given a priority rating of Moderate in the 1996 Tulameen River Watershed Stream Assessment was chosen for stream restoration due to a number of factors: the need for stream restoration and bank stabilization; a limited budget; and the importance of establishing a test restoration site. Indicators of stream disturbance present in this reach of Granite Creek included extensive riffle zones, unvegetated mid and side channel bars, and bank erosion. Restoration costs involving large equipment were minimized at this site due to easy access from Arrastra Creek Road. The site can also be easily relocated and monitored for success in the future. A fish inventory and habitat assessment was conducted at two sites in Spearing Creek to complete the data set which was collected in 1996. Presence/ absence surveys were conducted on Jim Kelly Creek and Olivine Creek upstream of the fish migration barriers and water quality analyses were conducted on the Tulameen River and ten of the eleven tributaries which were assessed the previous year. aquatic habitat, salminids, forest harvest, road, spawning, watershed restoration |
