B. Carson, D. Maloney, S Chatwin, M. Carver and P. Beaudry. 2009. Protocol for Evaluating
the Potential Impact of Forestry and Range Use on Water Quality (Water Quality Routine
Effectiveness Evaluation). Forest and Range Evaluation Program, B.C. Min. For. Range and
B.C. Min. Env., Victoria, BC. |
| Resource Purpose |
The Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) makes provisions for independent assessments of the effectiveness of the Act to meet environmental objectives. Maintaining or improving water quality is one objective of the Act. Field procedures developed here provide a means to quantify the effect of forestry and range related disturbances on water quality and how that impact might be mitigated.1 |
