  1. Lake Creek Instream Flow Study Identifying Key Issues July 2007

  2. Lake Creek – Instream Flow Issues • Review Requests from June Meeting – All species on one graph -Example + handout • Natural Barriers Effect Species Distribution • Spawning Habitat Limited for All Species • Accretion Below Packwood Lake • Opportunity For Solutions

  12. Weighted Usable Area • Index of Habitat Quantity – Square feet of habitat/ 1000 linear feet of stream • Does not Indicate the Quality of the Habitat – Small amount of very good habitat • or – Large amount of marginal habitat

  13. Opportunity For Solutions • Focus on Fish Habitat • Create Instream Structure to Retain Spawning Gravel and Add Complexity • Solutions May Include – Habitat Improvements – Flow Levels – Lake Level – Other Solutions

  15. Effects of Enhanced Spawning Substrate Analysis Method • Selected potential spawning transects in SS1(T1-3,7,8) & SS4 (T4,6,8,9,11) • Substrate at all stations within the Mid Flow WSE was set to HSI of 0.9 to 1.0 • Remaining transects had original substrate • All transects kept original weighting • Results reflect All transects in SS (not only enhanced)
