. Aquatic surveys and assessment of the Slim Buttes region of Harding and Butte Co., SD . Figure 49. Spur Creek (AES D005) a tributary to South Fork Moreau River looking upstream Figure 50. Spur Creek (AES D005) a backed up section behind a culvert Location: Accessed from County Rd. 3 miles west of Rt. 85 at bridge crossing and proceeded upstream -50m to the first pool area away from the culvert effects in the reach. Nearest Town: Redig, Butte County, SD Ecoregion: Typical Northern Great Plains Steppe Aquatic Ecological System Type: D005-Northwestern Great Plains Intermittent Stream Key Environmental Factors: Hydrology—upstream dams or diversions in the watershed; Grazing— moderate impacts Rare or Unique Species: Marbled Godwit nesting pair Rare Features: No rare features documented Introduced/Exotic Species: None Overall Ecological Site Condition: Fair Reach Summary: The 100 m reach consisted of 1 run/pool complex with the lower pool being -70m long and produced by an earthen uprising near the road culvert and containing the deepest fish holding habitat This stream reach has sparse aquatic habitat and low species diversity (1 fish species). The first run proceeding upstream was shallow (-25cm), but deep enough to allow seining for fish (Figure 49) and 49
