Description
- Abstract: Bridge Creek, a tributary of the John Day River, is located in Wheeler County in North Eastern Oregon. The Bridge
Creek watershed drains a total of 269 square miles and contains 69 miles of summer steelhead (Oncorhynchus
mykiss) spawning habitat. Wheeler Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) staff surveyed 23.6 miles of the
mainstem of Bridge Creek during the summer of 2013. The data from this survey was entered into a spatially
referenced geodatabase of the stream channel. The purpose of this reach evaluation is to identify the severity of
the limiting factors on a reach by reach basis and create an interactive GIS framework with the purpose of
improving the effectiveness of restoration work conducted within the Bridge Creek watershed. Resource
Specialists Inc. was commissioned to analyze the data and examine trends within the watershed. The results of the
analysis are contained within this report.
Steelhead are currently listed as a threatened species. The overall health of the steelhead population in the
middle Columbia River along with limiting factors and guidelines for recovery were detailed in "Conservation and
Recovery Plan for Oregon Steelhead Populations in the Middle Columbia River Steelhead Distinct Population
Segment," henceforth referred to as the "Mid-C Recovery Plan."
