Caption: Salt Creek shows a warming trend from the top of the Stengel property to the bottom of approximately two degrees C, although water temperatures in this reach only exceeded stressful for salmonids for a brief period in 1995. Lower Salt Creek maximum water temperatures consistently exceeded stressful temperatures through most of August and September 1995. Flow depletion and degraded riparian conditions are likely contributing to warming of Salt Creek. Data collected by the Trinity County RCD and Weaverville office of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
