Abstract/Description or Keywords Terrain mapping at terrain survey intensity level (TSIL) C and interpretations for terrain stability, surface erosion potential and sediment transfer potential to major streams were carried out in accordance with the Resource Inventory Committee Guidelines and Standards for Terrain Mapping in British Columbia (1996a). Terrain mapping consisted of aerial photographic interpretation of 1: 15,000 scale (approximately) colour aerial photographs followed by field reconnaissance. The study area was divided into polygons df homogenous terrain (surficial materials, texture, surface expression and geomorphological processes), slope and drainage. Ratings for terrain stability, surface erosion potential and sediment transfer potential to major streams were the assigned to each of the terrain polygons.
