Wildstone Group (WSG) was contracted by Riverside Forest Products (Armstrong) Ltd., on behalf of Bell Pole Co. Ltd., to conduct an Integrated Watershed Restoration Plan (IWRP) for the Monashee-Railroad Creek watershed. This report will discuss two of the five components required as part of the IWRP, the Sediment Source Survey (SSS) and the Access Management Map (AMM). The SSS and AMM projects involved office and ground level field investigations to identify sources of sedimentation within the watershed. Priorities and budget cost estimates were then established to restore those areas adversely affected by past forest harvesting practices. This project was awarded in July 1996. The SSS field work was postponed in early November due to an early snowfall and resumed in early June of 1997 when the project area was snow free. The AMM component of the project began after the field work portion of the SSS was completed in mid June 1997. Meetings and consultations with the public and watershed stakeholders were conducted until August 29th, 1997. This report presents the work program methodology and the results of the SSS and AMM for the Monashee-Railroad Creek watershed. In addition, it sets priorities for actions required for the next level ofthe WRP. sediment, road, erosion, terrain stability |
