Description

Abstract: The report is the watershed assessment for the Ecola Creek watershed. The report contains information on channel habitat types, hydrology, water use, fisheries, aquatic and riparian habitat, sediment sources, and water quality.

Purpose: The purpose of the watershed assessment is to collect the most current available information about the Ecola Creek watershed and to characterize its condition. It is a process for evaluating how well a watershed is working and includes examining historical impacts, describing features and evaluating various resources within the watershed. More specifically, a watershed assessment makes it possible to determine which features and processes in the watershed are working well and which are not. It does not give us site-specific prescriptions for remedying problems, but it should enable the development of an action plan and monitoring strategy for conserving and improving fish habitat and water quality.
