| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Detailed terrain stability mapping previously done for community watersheds within the Penticton Forest District has not provided a consistent level of detail or reliability necessary for thorough and confident forestry planning. Within its Kelowna Operating Area, Riverside Forest Products Limited. identified some fairly significant problems in using this existing mapping in their forest license areas, which occur in the community watersheds of Mission-Kelowna creeks and Trout-Peachland creeks. At their request, Denny Maynard & Associates Ltd. carried out a program of re-mapping portions of these operating areas where potential terrain impacts were considered to be most significant. Discussions among Glen Dick, RPF, Riverside Forest Products Limited., Tim Giles, P. Geo., Regional Geomorphologist, Kamloops Forest Region, and Denny Maynard, P. Geo. helped to define the areas to be re-mapped which, for the most part, contained the steeper, potentially unstable and/or erodible ground in close proximity to watercourses. Gently to moderately sloping terrain on the plateau uplands and valley lowlands was mainly excluded from any thorough re-examination. terrain stability, surface erosion, water quality, landslide, surficial geology, geomorphology |
