IFIM Data Collection <br />The following methodology applies to specific techniques applied to the three IFIM sites <br />on the Fryingpan River and one on the Roaring Fork River. <br />Transect placement followed the criteria proposed by Bovee (1982) and Bovee (1997). <br />Transects were placed (marked with wooden stakes) in all habitats that represented over <br />five percent of the total available habitat, except at FPR-BP. The intent of the FPR-BP <br />site was to specifically model the response of the "Bend Pool" to flow variations and <br />therefore only transects required to model this particular habitat were installed. The <br />number of transects placed in each habitat type depended on the physical and hydraulic <br />features of each location. Transects were placed in homogeneous habitat types. <br />Additional transects were placed at key hydraulic locations within the habitat type to <br />ensure better model calibration and simulation. Transects were located in contiguous <br />habitats at three of the four sites. To accurately represent the available habitat in the low <br />Draft Final Report, Fryingpan and Roaring Fork Rivers February 12, 2003 <br />Miller Ecological Consultants, Inc.
