 | | Walker Creek, the largest tributary of Miller Creek, originates from a wetland west of the airport at an elevation of approximately 90 meters. |
 | | Des Moines Creek is also known to support resident species, including cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, pumpkinseed sunfish, largemouth bass, bluegill, fl bullhead, and sculpins (FEIS 1996; Des Moines Creek Basin Committee 1997). |
 | | Given the current conditions of Miller, Walker, or Des Moines creeks (i.e., warm summer temperatures, high levels of fine sediments, etc.), it is unlikely that bull trout would spawn or rear in these streams. |
