| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The objective of this project was to prepare terrain, slope stability and erosion potential maps as a basis for long term environmental planning, including forest management in the following three areas: Shulaps, Ore and Junction Creeks. A brief report for each study area accompanies the terrain and interpretive maps. Shulaps Creek area, which encompasses about 6000 ha, is the subject of this report.----- Terrain mapping and interpretations for slope stability and erosion potentialwere carried out according to provincial standards. Terrain mapping was done on 1:15,000 scale colour air photos by air photo interpretation followed by field checking. Terrain, slope stability and erosion potential information are presented on 1:5000 scale mylar overlays. Attention was focused on areas with operable forest; alpine areas were terrain mapped on the air photos without interpretations for slope stability or erosion potential.----- This report augments the information that is shown on the maps. It provides a general overview of the physiography of the study area. additional information about surficial materials and processes, and criteria used for interpretations of slope stability and erosion potential. Implications.and recommendations for forest land management that arise out of this terrain work are discussed in Section 7. terrain stability, erosion, landslide, sediment |
