Meta Identifier	Rich_Novato
Type of Data	Habitat typing, electrofishing, and water temperature
Originator	A.A. Rich and Associates
Description	Habitat surveys used protocols from Bisson et al., 1982, modified by Dr. Alice Rich for use in other small streams in northern California, at a Level III for the habitat types. Surveys conducted beginning from the lower project boundary (Diablo Avenue) and proceeding upstream to the upper boundary (Grant Avenue). Areas upstream of the project area were Habitat Typed for comparison. From results of the Habitat Typing Survey, representative electrofishing stations were selected. Fish sampling was conducted using electrofishing with block nets and three or more passes, and fish were identified, weighed, and measured. A photographic record was made of all habitat types. Water temperature was monitored using a hobo temp from May 15 to June 15.

Maint. and Update Freq.	One-time
Purpose	To assess to potential impacts to the fishery resources.
Data Quality Information	Due to the County's schedule, sampling collected during the spring, not during the summer which is the limiting time of year. Electrofishers were not operating at maximum capacity, therefore any quantitative estimation is of limited value.
Use Constraints	Fish sampling effort was not intended to be quantitative, but rather to provide information on predominant species present.
