Dahlie Creek Salmonid Overwintering and Water Quality Studies: Interim Report

This document contains a detailed fish habitat, riparian, and channel assessment of Dahlie Creek. Low channel complexity, removal of riparian vegetation, culvert obstructions to fish passage, sedimentation, altered flow regime, and channelization were some of the major and widespread impacts identified during the assessment of the lower 2918m of Dahlie Creek conducted in the fall of 1999. Significant alterations in the drainage pattern of Dahlie Creek, particularly in reach 3 upstream of the CNR tracks have been identified. Future developments are proposed for the lower three reaches of Dahlie Creek.
