Project summaries
Pine Creek
Pine Creek is a large agricultural
watershed draining
180,804 acres in portions of three different counties
(Whitman, Spokane, and Latah) within the states of
Washington and Idaho. Only a small portion of Pine Creek
lies in Spokane County, and it is this 3.8 river mile section
that is included in the inventory and assessment project.
The
Spokane County portion of Pine Creek is a highly
sinuous channel dominated by reeds canarygrass (Phalaris
arundinacea) and scattered scrub-shrub habitats. The entire
portion is determined to be in PFC. The channel has no
access to its natural floodplain, but it appears to be laterally
and vertically stable. The channel is primarily a pooled
system and there are few signs of active erosion.
