Bathymetric data were collected in the Shorty’s Island and Myrtle Creek substrate enhancement study area in the meander reach. The extent of these surveys was near RM 143.5 and 142.9 near Shorty’s Island and at RM 146 near the Myrtle Creek confluence with the Kootenai River. The data-collection efforts described in this report are part of a long-term monitoring program to identify the spatial and temporal distribution of sand in the stream channel. This baseline survey was initiated to survey both the short- and long-term distribution of sediment in the study area. The planned survey lines were created as both cross sections and longitudinal lines intended to be surveyed bi-annually as part of the long-term monitoring program. The cross-sections and longitudinal profiles were surveyed on the ascending (May) and descending (July) limbs of the spring runoff hydrograph.
