disciplinary team of specialists to evaluate changes and make recommendations,” said Superintendent Bill Wade. “Temporary closures of some trails, fishing streams, and administrative roads are necessary due to access and safety concerns. Some areas contain such significant changes that the cost or changes in terrain may prohibit their ever being put back like they were before the storm. Some administrative roads and trails may never be re-opened, and some streams may be closed to fishing for an indefinite time.”
The park has pre-storm water chemistry, geology, fisheries, amphibian, and aquatic insect data for several of the affected watersheds. “This data, collected over several years will assist us greatly in fully assessing changes in the park’s ecosystems as a result of these recent storms,” said Tom Blount, park ecologist. “We surveyed one stream a week before the storm, and it had over 800 fish of 15 species in 100 meters of stream,” said Jim Atkinson, park wildlife and fisheries biologist. “On July 10, we re-surveyed the same area and found only 6 fish of four species,” he added.
