Graziano 2019 Open-File Report Open-File Report U.S. Geological Survey This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains the results from the 2017 geomorphic survey of North Fork Eagle Creek, New Mexico. The 2017 geomorphic survey was conducted by the USGS, in cooperation with the Village of Ruidoso, New Mexico, and is the first in a planned series of five annual geomorphic surveys of the stream reach located between the North Fork Eagle Creek near Alto, New Mexico, streamflow-gaging station (USGS site 08387550) and the Eagle Creek below South Fork near Alto, New Mexico, streamflow-gaging station (USGS site 08387600). Specifically, this data release contains the results from 14 cross-section surveys (to include x-y-z coordinates of all cross-section points), the locations of all woody debris identified in the reach and their corresponding debris jam classifications, and the locations of all pools identified in the reach. All x-y-z coordinates included in this data release were collected by using survey-grade real-time kinematic global navigation satellite systems (RTK GNSS). This data release supports the following publication: Graziano, A.P., 2019, Geomorphic survey of North Fork Eagle Creek, New Mexico, 2017: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2018-1187, 28 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181187. The 2012 Little Bear Fire caused substantial loss of vegetation in the North Fork Eagle Creek Basin. The loss of vegetation was expected to have effects on the hydrology and geomorphology of North Fork Eagle Creek. The plan is to monitor these effects through a series of five annual geomorphic surveys. 20170619 20170623 ground condition Complete None planned -105.741289 -105.722721 33.409832 33.392173 USGS Thesaurus geomorphology subsidence watershed management floods fires hydrology USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5b9fd7f5e4b08583a5c2732e Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) Lincoln County Sierra Blanca Lincoln National Forest Ruidoso Eagle Creek none none Alexander P Graziano SOUTHWEST REGION mailing and physical

Albuquerque NM 87113 United States 505-830-7994 agraziano@usgs.gov Where possible, attribute locations and classifications (where applicable) were cross-checked with field photos and aerial imagery. Field photographs and observations were used to assess accuracy of the data. Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record and the companion report for additional details. All points were surveyed in North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) using survey-grade Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK GNSS). All points surveyed were referenced to a single survey mark and have a relative horizontal accuracy of +/- 0.1 ft within the survey, however, accuracy relative to NAD 83 is unknown because the survey was not referenced to an established benchmark. Visibly erroneous data were screened through comparison of field photos to cross-section plots. All points were surveyed in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) using survey-grade Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK GNSS). All points surveyed were referenced to a single survey mark and have a relative horizontal accuracy of +/- 0.1 ft within the survey, however, accuracy relative to NAVD 88 is unknown because the survey was not referenced to an established benchmark. Visibly erroneous data were screened through comparison of field photos to cross-section plots. All data were first downloaded from the RTK GNSS unit. The cross section results were then processed in the slope-area computation graphical user interface (SACGUI) program to obtain the "Distance from Left Bank" attribute and the SACGUI plots were compared to field photos for quality assurance. Elevations obtained for woody debris accumulations and pools were arbitrarily collected and were removed from the dataset. The woody debris and pool photographs were analyzed and the woody debris accumulations were classified. The data were compiled into a final file and descriptions were added. 2017 Point Universal Transverse Mercator 13 0.9996 -105.0 0.0 500000.0 0.0 coordinate pair 0.1 0.1 SURVEY_FEET North American Vertical Datum of 1988 0.1 US Survey Feet Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates 2017 North Fork Survey Results The locations, elevations, classifications and descriptions of all the survey results. Graziano, A.P. Point ID A unique identifier for a surveyed point. Producer defined. Cross-section points are labeled as "X#-#", where the first "#" represents the cross-section ID and the second "#" represents the location of the point in the cross section. For the first "#", the values are in order from furthest upstream to furthest downstream. For the second "#", the values are in order from closest to left bank to furthest from left bank. The range in values is X1-1 to X14-25. Woody debris accumulations are labeled as "DP-#" (for "debris pile") and are numbered in order from furthest upstream to furthest downstream. The range in values is DP-1 to DP-58. Pools are labeled as "POOL-#" and are numbered in order from furthest upstream to furthest downstream. The range in values is POOL-1 through POOL-14. The numbers are in order from furthest upstream to furthest downstream. Points are further described in the "Description" attribute. Northing (US Survey Feet) UTM Northing coordinate referenced to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).

Producer defined. 1,414,422.4 1,419,395.2 US Survey Feet Distance from Left Bank (Feet) Distance, in feet, from the reference mark located on the left side of the channel (when looking downstream). Distance from left bank was calculated from the UTM Northing and UTM Easting of the point, using the USGS slope-area computation program graphical user interface (SACGUI). Producer defined. 0.0 194.7 Feet (ft) Points where distance in feet does not apply are labeled with "---" to represent no data. This includes all woody debris accumulations and pools. Elevation (Feet) Elevation referenced to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Producer defined. 7626.9 7898.2 Feet (ft) Points where elevation is not included are labeled with "---" to represent no data. This includes all woody debris accumulations and pools. Classification Debris jam classification. Producer defined. Deposit Accumulations of woody debris which appear to have been carried downstream (by high flow events) and deposited in a largely random fashion on event recessions. Producer defined. Potential Jam Areas containing pieces of large woody debris that have the potential to later serve as key members in debris jams but are not currently members of active debris jams. Producer defined. Active Jam Areas where woody debris jams have formed. Producer defined. Unclassified points, such as cross-section points and pools, are marked with "---" to represent no data. Description A brief description of the point. Producer defined. A brief description of the point. It may include additional information, such as why certain data may be missing.
