The factual materials contained in this report are from data collected by actual measurement and observation along the banks of Scott River during August - September 1991.

The scope of the work included the inventory and evaluation of the riparian system on 29.70 miles on the left bank and 29.57 miles on the right bank. The observed areas include the following needs:
1. Livestock exclusion (with fenced drinking access)
2. Fencing - new construction, maintenance, or rebuild
3. Planting and irrigating to establish riparian vegetation
4. Flood irrigation water filter control
5. Streambank protection with large rock
6. Off-stream livestock watering (well and tank)
7. Fire protection.

There were 373 identified sites with 182 on the left bank and 191 on the right bank. Different site determinations included the following criteria:
1. fenced or not fenced
2. livestock access
3. livestock exclusion
4. bank protection with large rock or not protected
5. dominant species age
6. change in crown density species or percentage of
crown density,
7. percentage or diversity of understory cover
8. property ownership boundary.

Also, determination of bank swallow habitat on two sites (#126 and #166) and understory "species of concern" on 26 sites was done. With the available data and proposed prescriptions for restoration and maintenance of the riparian system, the landowners were contacted. The information was reviewed and each landowner and/or agent was asked to rate their willingness to perform the practices recommended.
