| Abstract/Description or Keywords | During the summer of 2004, a wildfire burned significant portions of the Dickey Creek and Town Creek Community Watersheds. These two watersheds are the primary sources of domestic water to the community of Lillooet, T'ít'q'et First Nations (Lillooet) and other individual water licensees. Following the fire, a number of roads were constructed or upgraded in both the Town and Dickey Creek watersheds in order to access burned areas as part of the salvage effort. Numerous studies were carried out prior to, during and following construction of these roads in order to assess potential environmental impacts. Following harvest activities, deactivation prescriptions were prepared, and most of the roads were deactivated to some degree – either fully recontoured in the case of more environmentally sensitive road section, or involving various methods of stabilisation and drainage management on others. This report presents a summary of road conditions throughout the two watersheds, and a risk assessment for those roads which are considered to be non-status (i.e. are not under road permits or other licensed activity). road, wildfire, sediment, terrain stability, erosion |
