BOAR CREEK \�. <br /> Cleanwater species present indicated there was good water quality and some good instream <br /> substrate, with indications of moderate amounts of sediment. Cleanwater species included mayflies <br /> Epeorus and Rhithrogena, stoneflies Podmosta and Amphinentura, and dipterans Agathon and <br /> Bibiocephala. The observed number of shredders in the community is generally found where riparian <br /> habitat is in at least fair condition. <br /> The potential for a resident fishery on this stream appeared to be fairly good. Cleanwater species <br /> present indicated there should be some suitable spawning substrate available, but the macro invertebrate <br /> biomass of 0.4 g/m2 would be limiting to the number and size of fish that could be supported in this <br /> ecosystem angwas low for a stream with 71 mg/l alkalinity. <br /> The BCI value of 80 indicated this ecosystem was in fairly good condition. Apparently, <br /> limitations in this ecosystem were mainly due to characteristics of the surrounding topography, since there <br /> were few, if any, management activities in the area. <br /> 5`-r" `1 <br /> 3 �`'� 6- S <br />
