INTRODUCTION King & MacGregor Environmental Inc. (KME) was contracted by Kennecott Eagle Minerals Company (KEMC) to collect baseline geomorphic information on multiple streams and rivers located along the proposed County Road 595 (CR 595) for use in the design of potential roadstream crossings. The protocol used was developed in consultation with personnel at the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). This protocol is based on methods described in Stream Simulation: An Ecological Approach to Providing Passage for Aquatic Organisms at Road-Stream Crossings (USDA, 2008). Study Area The area of investigation is along the proposed CR 595 route, which is located in west-central Marquette County. The proposed road connects US-41 with Triple A Road and generally is located in portions of the following: Sections 13, 23, 24, 26, and 35, (T50N-R29W) Michigamme Township; Sections 18, (T50N-R28W) Champion Township; Sections 2, 11, 14, 23, 25, 26, and 36, (T49N-R29W) Champion Township; Sections 1, 12, 25, 35 and 36, (T48N-R29W) Champion Township; Sections 7, 18, 19, and 30, (T48N-R28W) Ely Township; Section 2, (T47N- R29W)Humboldt Township. Generally, the streams and rivers within the northern two-thirds of the area of investigation flow into Lake Superior and are part of the Yellow Dog and Dead River watersheds. The streams and rivers within the southern one-third of the area of investigation are part of the Middle Branch Escanaba River that flows into Lake Michigan and is in the Escanaba River watershed. METHODS Prior to field data collection, an in-office review of relevant literature was conducted. Field data was collected from July 2010 through September 2010 and August and September 2011. Twenty-three potential road-stream crossing locations were evaluated. KME staff, assisted by surveyors from Coleman Engineering Company and AECOM, investigated each of the roadstream crossing locations for measurable geomorphic features as described in Chapter 5 of the Steam Simulation methodology (USDA, 2008). The protocol used attempts to document bankfull stream width at three riffle locations near the crossing point. If three riffle locations were not present, two bankfull stream widths were measured. Since a riffle is the most geomorphically stable feature, the bankfull width measurement was obtained by first determining naturally occurring geomorphic bankfull features in riffle locations close to but outside of the proposed road crossings. Bankfull widths were surveyed at riffles (generally two upstream and one downstream, if available). A detailed cross section at each riffle was surveyed and its location marked with a steel survey monument. A longitudinal profile was surveyed in the thalweg (deepest part of the channel) between the upstream and downstream riffles. Stream geomorphologic features were documented and summarized in field data forms. In certain circumstances (ie beaver activity) riffles were not available for measurement. In these instances, bankfull measurements were taken at other stable locations or HEC-RAS modeling was used to characterize the conveyance needed.

RESULTS Twenty-three watercourse crossing locations were surveyed. Four categories of streams were observed: 1) streams where a full assembly of geomorphic features was present; 2) large streams where three riffles were not present; 3) streams where flow was insufficient to build geomorphic features; and 4) streams where beaver dams altered the system such that geomorphic stream features were not present. Table 1 indicates the cross sections surveyed and the average bankfull width measured at that location. Data sheets for each of the surveyed crossings are included in the Appendix. Table 1.

Some of the smallest streams were ephemeral (spring flow only) with bankfull widths of only a few feet or less and no flow observed. Other small first order streams had base flow primarily from groundwater discharge (seeps and springs). The larger rivers had significant flows and significant bankfull widths. Contributing watersheds varied from a few acres for the smallest of the streams to many square miles for the Yellow Dog River and the Middle Branch Escanaba River. Bankfull features were generally observable except where active or historic beaver activity has impacted Stream Assessment for CR 595 September 2011 King & MacGregor Environmental, Inc.
the watershed and heavy siltation had occurred (beaver meadows). Beaver activity was observed at Voelkers Creek, Dead River, Wildcat Canyon Creek (Crossing 1) and Mulligan Creek crossing locations. As documented in the longitudinal profiles, the slope characteristics of the streams/rivers varied from generally low gradient (less than 0.05 percent) to very steep (greater than 10 percent). The steeper gradient streams were primarily associated with bedrock at or near the ground surface and these were generally the smaller streams located within the Mulligan River watershed.
