The objectives of this project were to: - Produce 1:20,000 scale maps that present deGailed terrain, terrain stability, likelihood of landslide-induced debris enrering streams, soil erosion potential, and sediment delivery potential ofi the Ellis Creek and Steward Creek watersheds based on roughly 1:15,000 !scale photos; - Carry out field checking at TSIL C over the ~ntire study area; and - Prepare a report that describes how the i maps were made, surficial materials present, physiography of the area, and terrain hazards present, with recommendations regarding forest harvesting and land management. terrain stability, geomorphology, landslide, erosion, surficial geology
