| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The objectives of the study were to: 1) Assess sediment sources to the mainstem and significant tributaries of Leonie, Bottrel, and Chip Creeks; 2) Assess the sources, nature, and degree of existing anthropogenic impacts on mainstem and tributary channels within each watershed, and identify means by which risks to water quality due to these impacts can be reduced; 3) Assess channel stability and sensitivity (the potential for channels to change in response to future forest management); 4) Provide strategies for forest management to mitigate potential risks to channels and water quality associated with future forest management, recognizing ongoing processes of forest change; 5) Review the specific forest management proposals associated with CP 323 and recommend mitigation strategies where necessary to reduce the risk of impacts on channels and water quality.
