results. I am including an overview below, but please see the attachment for more details. Specific questions can be e-mailed to Kathleen, CC’d here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">The ultimate objective of this study is to expand current knowledge of in-stream habitat by creating benthic maps of all navigable river/stream waterways within 4- 5 HUC
8 sub-basins. There are three phases involved in the creation of substrate maps:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="margin-bottom:1.05pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">1. Collect sonar imagery during periods of high flow, when the streams are at bankfull width.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="margin-bottom:1.05pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">2. Process the sonar imagery. Raw imagery is imported into the GIS environment where it is georectified to reflect the shape and position of
the stream channel. Errors in the automated rectification step will be manually corrected. The banks will be digitized. A minimum mapping unit will be established based on visual inspection of the sonar imagery. This step may require field visits. Areas of
varying substrate will be manually identified and digitized via visual inspection.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">3. Assess the accuracy of the maps. Random assessment points will be generated in a stratified random sampling scheme, and each point will be visited to verify the substrate
type occurring at that point. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
