The longitudinal profile of the existing stream channel prior to the implementation of the restoration project. The survey was conducted beginning at station 0 (upper project boundary) to approximately 2350 feet prior to the implementation of the restoration project in the fall of 2002. The survey was not completed for the lower approximate third of the project area. Note the lack of pool habitat within the project area. 131

The longitudinal profile of the constructed stream channel thalweg in 2002 (as built) and 2003 after the project experienced the first spring freshet. The survey begins at the upper project boundary (station 0) and proceeds downstream to the lower project boundary (approximate station 3200). The stream channel prior to channel construction was not located within the same general plan view as the newly constructed stream channel. Therefore, the existing stream channel longitudinal profile (Figure 5) could not be superimposed on this figure due to differences in stream channel length that resulted from an overall increase in overall channel sinuosity and length after project construction. 132
