21 <br />Station 12 - Bitter Creek (Figure 14): The river in this section was <br />made up of wide, shallow runs and riffles with a sand and gravel substrate. <br />At the confluence with Bitter Creek, which was 1 ft (0.3 m) wide, a pool had <br />formed where many juvenile fish were observed. <br />Station 13 - White Site (Figure 15): The river was bordered by moder- <br />ately steep banks on both sides. The river remained broad and shallow with <br />a sand, gravel, and small rubble substrate. Bars created some riffle areas <br />on the right side of a wide, long run. A backwater pool 60 ft (20 m) long <br />was present on the left bank. <br />Station 14 - Site 20 (Figure 16): The river valley at this site was <br />broad, flat and sagebrush covered. The river was straight in the sample area <br />but along the left bank, debris and rock outcrops created several pools. <br />Pools had sand and silt bottoms; gravel and small rubble made up the substrate <br />of the river proper. <br />Station 15 - Mountain Fuel Bridge (Figure 17): The river was about 100 ft <br />(30 m) wide and averaged about 1 ft (0.3 m) deep. There was little habitat <br />diversity along this section and the bottom substrate was silt and shifting <br />sand. <br />Uintah Ouray Indian Reservation: The river on the Reservation was <br />generally wide, silt laden and had moderate velocity. Some riffles were <br />present following bends but most habitat was shallow pools and runs. The <br />bottom substrate waseither sand or gravel with few areas of rubble.
