Stream Segment #: Stream Section #:
Data entered by: Survey ID: 6

Step 1. Benchmark Location

Directions to Benchmark: At the end of cariboo crescent, take the trail on the r/b of stoney creek then take the first trail to the right to meet the creek. the benchmark is u/s from fallen trees at the top of the pool.

Step 2. Cross-Sectional Survey
