Description

Abstract: This document is the product of a watershed assessment for Pringle, Glenn-Gibson, Claggett and Mill Creek watersheds. It provides current and historic information on the physical, biological and cultural landscape in the four watersheds. The main focus of the assessment was a synthesis of existing data sets and studies pertaining to the four watersheds in order to provide a clear picture of the condition and health of the watersheds at this point in time. This assessment did not collect any new data other than what could be gleaned through geographical information systems (GIS) analyses. This document provides a scientific framework for future decision-making in both the public and private sector. Considerable efforts have been made by the authors not to pass judgment or to incorporate the judgments or opinions of others on any particular activity, land use or agency in this document. Recommendations provided at the end of each chapter are based on science and/or the limited information compiled on each subject. The document's chapter topics are overview of the watersheds, historical conditions, channel modifications, hydrology, riparian and wetland habitat, sediment sources, fish and wildlife, and water quality.
