Legal Description: S027N008W14
Region: South Central
Road Name: Petersville Road

Datum: WGS84
Quad Name / ITM: Talkeetna B-2
AWC Stream #:
Stream Name: Deep Creek tributary

Elevation:

Site Comments: Channel stops 250' u/s, drains meadow.

Survey Date: Jul 02, 2009

Survey PRK09-PVR26

Project Supervisor: Gillian O'Doherty, ADFG
Observers: Heidi Zimmer, Ben Histand

Overall Fish Passage Rating: Red

Tidal: No
Backwatered: No

Step Pools: No
Construction Year:


Site Observations:

  1. Outfall height red
  2. Culvert gradient red

Comments: **Updated site photos and fish sampling information added from 9/8/16 site visit from Sampling Unmapped Streams in the MSB project.** Channel stops 250' u/s, drains meadow. Good but limited fish habitat. Stream dry from 110' u/s but channel well-defined, probably full of water during spring runoff.
