Introduction to Fry Creek, Aberdeen, WA Watershed: Chehalis River Soil Type: Zenker Silt Loam Site Index: 175 for Douglas-fir Elevation: feet Native Vegetation: Douglas-fir, Western Hemlock, and Western Red Cedar Maritime Climate: Avg precipitation— inches /year; Avg annual Temp. 50 F; Growing Season days Dominant Understory Vegetation: Salmonberry, Swordfern Slope: 0-30% Water Table: Typically High Salmon: Documented return of Coho salmon

Sample Site 1

Half way between Sample Site 1 and Sample Site 2

Sample Site 2 1. Identify three likely sources of nonpoint sources pollution. 2. What would you recommend to improve this habitat?

Just Down Stream from Sample Site 2

Sample Site Location 1 Sample Site Location 2 3. Predict which sample site is the most likely to be degraded. Justify with at least two reasons. Discuss.

Sample Site 2 4. Where did Fry Creek go?

Your Tasks: A.Create a Question and Hypothesis—remember you’re going to be assessing watershed health using WQI and IBI B.Based on the presentation create a two paragraph Introduction that includes the following: 1 st paragraph: discuss nonpoint source pollution (see hand out) 2 nd paragraph describe the study sites (use your notes from this presentation) Due ?
