RATING CALCULATION
ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT CONCERNS (OPTIONAL)
The following items do not contribute to a site's score. Rather they help to quantify inherent physical site characteristics or assess the direction of change on a site. These data can be useful for planning future site management.
12a. Streambank Rock Volume: More than 40% of streambank volume is rocks at least 2.5 inches 20% to 40% of streambank volume is rocks at least 2.5 inches 10% to 20% of streambank volume is rocks at least 2.5 inches Less than 10% of streambank volume is rocks at least 2.5 inches
12b. Streambank Rock Size: At least 50% of rocks present are boulders and large cobbles (> 5 inch) 50% of rocks present are small cobbles and larger (> 2.5 inches) At least 50% of rocks present are coarse gravels and larger (>0.6 inches) Less than 50% of rocks present are coarse gravels and larger (>0.6 inches)
13. Vegetation Use by Animals: 0-25% 26-50% 51-75% 76-100%
14. Susceptibility of Parent Material to Erosion: Not susceptible to erosion--well armored Slightly susceptible to erosion--moderately armored Moderately susceptible to erosion Extremely susceptible to erosion
15. Percent of Streambank Accessible to Livestock:
16. Polygon trend (Is the polygon: Improving, Degrading, Static, or Status Unknown?): Improving Degrading Static Status Unknown
17. Comments and Observations:
